Ugh... I've had a rough start to the week. I don't really want to go into details here, but it seems to be that there are more people in the world than i thought who are too cowardly to stand up for what they say. I mean, i know i don't always sing everyones praises, but when i'm questioned about it i'll admit to what i've said and defend it. Some people will try to deny saying things when the person confronting them over it was the one they said it to. Oh well, hopefully it'll all sort itself out now - I just need to make sure i avoid one or two people over the next few days, for both our sakes.

Tomorrow O2 are going to make attempt #2 at transfering my old Vodafone number accross to my new O2 Pay-as-you-go SIM. They royally messed it up the first time, i provided them with all the information they asked for, but for some reason it just didn't happen when it was supposed to, i contacted their customer support (they were very helpful) and they said they're going to try and do it again tomorrow. So hopefully i'll soon be able to stop opening text messages and phone calls with "Hi, it's Ollie" because people don't recognise the new number.

Also today i started my "photo a day" project. It's pretty much what it says on the tin really, i'm going to take a photo every day, i don't know when i'll stop taking photos, probably next week sometime when i forget about it. Nah, i'm going to try and keep it going for a while. I'm using my 35mm SLR (Nikon F80) to get all the images and i have NO idea how i'm going to store them all. I also have had an AWESOME idea for what my first "proper" photo series is going to be about. I've been pondering this for a while and i've come accross an idea that i really like, i'm not going to say what it is JUST yet, because i want to get a few finer details of it sorted, but it'll be awesome, i promise

For those of you who like to follow my writing, you'll be pleased to know that my next short story is now in the first stage of finished-ness. I've done a first draft and i'm getting a couple of people to read it (including my Creative Writing teacher, because it's also being used as coursework) and then i'll make adjustments based on what they say. I'm also going to totally re-do the ending, because i don't like it now once i'm happy with it, i'll post it here.

And now, for the plea i promised you all. In year 5 or 6 (Primary school) i remember reading a short-ish novel about smugglers in devon or cornwall. It had a lot of "old english" in it, and at the time i remember it was a pretty hard read. I'm seriously struggling to remember the title of it, although i have this inkling that the word "moon" was in there (Weather that was as part of a phrase, or just part of a word i have no idea) If you know what this book is / may be called, please let me know.
