I didn’t think this was going to work when I seen it over at Blogsology tonight. Keep replaying the video and listen to the audio step up each time. Amazing.

Well, I should be in bed already. I’ll be leaving the house at 0345 tomorrow morning to go to the airport and board my plane to London. I’ve enjoyed the time I’ve had with my Mum, Dad and brothers but have really missed my wife and kids.
Today, Mum and Dad took the day off work and we headed to the Ulster Folk Park in Cultra. Here’s a small video slideshow of some of the photos. The full photo album can be viewed here.

We had a BBQ at my Dad’s church last night and a sing-song time afterwards (as is traditional). It was fairly relaxed so I played through a few songs that we sing back in North Carolina. Healer is pretty much taking the worship scene by storm at the moment.

North Carolina must be on my mind today.
2 cups sifted flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
5 tablespoons shortening
1/2 to 2/3 cup milk
Combine flour, salt, and baking powder. Cut in shortening until mixture is as fine as meal, then add milk, mixing until soft dough is formed. Place on a floured board, knead lightly for 25 seconds. Roll dough to half-inch thickness and cut with floured biscuit cutter. Place on greased baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 12 minutes.
Yields 12 biscuits.
(optional - but recommended)
When baked, cut those biscuits open and stick in a breaded chicken breast! Yummy. I’m going to make some this week.
These are photos I took using a compact camera (Samsung Digimax D73).
Well, I did it. I met up with that bloke I met online. Everybody warned me not to go. “You get all sorts of people on t’internet these days…”, they said. You do indeed get many people out there pretending to be someone they’re not. Not in this case.
I met up with Ally Simpson and his wife Cherith tonight up at Starbucks in Ballymena.
I can’t remember how we first hooked up online (think it was facebook), but I’ve been reading Supersimbo.net for a while now and bantering with Ally on Twitter. We talked about various things - our backgrounds, why we blog, our current church life and so on.
It was all over too soon. Obviously we could not part without a photo to prove it actually happened.
My brother Mark and I headed up to the Giant’s Causeway on Saturday to take some photos. Between us we took close to 500 photos. I’ve just finished sorting through them. Click on the photo above for a small selection.
We stopped in to the Bushmills Inn on the way home and had a great feed.
Back in Feburary I posted on reaching my 100th subscriber. Tonight, thanks to Killy429, I now have reached 200 subscribers! Thanks again for your encouragement and support.
I have a competitor on YouTube who keeps taunting me about my subscription numbers. His rate of gathering subscribers is quite amazing since his videos are all about some computer game that only three other people are known to play. I fear he will overtake me very soon unless I get some help.
