I happened to glance at my gallery statistics & noticed I had exactly 2000 views.

Many mega thanks to those of you that looked at my work & massively mega thanks to those who commented & humongous thanks to fav-er's.

I didn't screen shot this number, it's just a number to me I just thought I'd take a chance to thank anyone who's visited my page & decided to watch, fav, comment, or even just look.

Hugs from your friendly fluffy sheep

The Summer 1 - 6 photos are all in the collage (Summer Fun), I just uploaded the fullsize versions. The ones in the Summer Fun download are only 1000 x 750. The photo's I've just uploaded are my favourites of the collage.

Enjoy

As I type I am waiting for Paint.NET to open. I'll leave you all in suspense as to what I'm making but it will be big.

See you soon.

Your friendly fluffy sheep.

So, um, I haven't been very active recently, which you probably haven't noticed as I haven't popped up in your watch feeds but ho hum.

My previous journal got part of the way through the summer & since then I have been to the Big Chill festival where I saw (amongst others) Lenard Cohen & Bill Bailey & generally had a fantastic time & recommend it to anyone & everyone.

Then most of August was grey & dull & I got a little addicted to the BBC iPlayer which was rather unhealthy, I haven't quite weened myself off it yet but I can slightly control the amount of stuff I watch on it.

College has now started & so that has the potential to take up some time along with the Frank Zappa covers / tribute band I play in.

Hope you are well & thanks for getting this far.

If you can't be bothered to read what could be long (but may not be, this is just a stream of words that I'm typing as I think of them) then the title says it all, if you want all the details then reading on is advised but I don't know how detailed I'm gonna get.

So, you may have gathered that I have been away, in which case you get full marks for your reading & information gathering skills, I did intend to write something along the lines of "I'm going away & I'll be back pretty soon", but didn't get a chance. Thursday the 3rd of July - Thursday the 10th I was camping with a load of other home-educated people (there a big group of us & we all go camping once a year) which was fun, especially when one of my friends trod in the fire bucket

Then from the evening of the 10th until the morning of the 14th I have been at Drum Camp, mostly playing snare drum in the samba workshops which I highly recommend to anyone as it's really good fun.

I have since got back to 105 Deviations & about 20 messages which took me a while to get through but I have done it so if you've posted something over the last couple of weeks I should have seen it.

I'm now suitably tired as last Friday, Saturday & Yesterday night I went to bed at around 5 am, good times, although I'm sure my sleeping patterns aren't thinking the same thing...

Hope all is well with whomever you are that is reading this, I did take photos & some of the more arty ones will probably be uploaded here at some point or another & given pretentious names

Fluffy hugs from your friendly sheep, MattBlackLamb
