First ever blog!

I apologise in advance as this is the first piece of public writing that I have ever written, and I would welcome your comments to help make it better.

Everything you wanted to know (but never realised)

Hello and welcome to Just the Boy. This is just a brief introduction to me, my blog and the main players so that hoepfully I won't confuse you too much by all my random mitherings!

This blog was prompted by the Girl with whom I recently lived. She was a big blogger and seemed to take great comfort and advice from others in "Blogland"! After she (and some friends) decided that she was no longer happy with her life she decided that she would move on and I decided to give it a go!

Facts

I was born in Germany (as an army brat!) and was kindly known as a yellow conehead German freak by my two delightful younger sisters (I hope because of my jaudnice as a baby!) I grew up, and seemed to keep growing.

I love playing rugby, drinking with my friends, World War 2 re-enacting, and being in a relationship where I can make the other person happy! I also love France, and if I could speak the lingo sufficiently well, and they did the type of law that I specialise in I would move over there like a shot .........keep my fingers crossed that I win the lottery and can just move there.....although I suppose I should really buy a ticket!

I hate the fact that owing to the Girl's lifelong (or at least 5 year long dream) of living in Manchester I work at a large firm of solicitors in Manchester and currently live in Hull.....a daily commute of 4 hours (although I hope to remedy this very shortly). I also currently have a real dislike of those ever so friendly people who keep stealing the cables from the railnetwork, preventing me from either getting to or back from work.

Characters

Just so you are not too confused when I start mithering about people I would like to give you a heads up about whose who!

The Girl - I should imagine that I will probably bore the lot of you to tears in the first few blogs about the Girl, who I was with since June 2008, and lived together very happily until she decided that maybe she wasn't completely happy, or not too happy, or happy but not happy enough, or something .........one day I might find out, but I doubt it! (If I do I promise that I will let you know! )

The Guys - I have been a re-enactor for about 14 years, and have done everything from medieval knight to World War 2 paratrooper. The Guys are a really important part of my life, and are both male and female! We travel up and down the country throughout the Summer (and quite foolishly the winter too)! It is really just "cops and robbers" for grown ups with alcohol!

The Family - My family are very important to me. My parents live in Hull and I have an elder brother and sister who live in Bournemouth, and two younger sisters, both of whom currently live in Hull. We lost my maternal Grandmother earlier this year, but we have always been there for each other whenever we had a problem, and remain so. I have also got a very wonderful little neice who is a real joy, and who is the ultimate showman(or should that be showwoman)

The Roo - Roo is the fourth springer spaniel that we have owned! She is increadibly soft and is incredibly paranoid, unless she has a tennis ball in her mouth, when she is manic!
