Going to the outlaws today.
D-Day re-enactment on our local beach today. Loads of 'American' troops, 'Germans', loads of militaria, original vehicles and lots of shouting and loud bangs. Spitfire fly past at lunchtime.
This is a yearly commemoration to mark the use of Saunton Sands and Braunton Burrows as an American training ground prior to the D-Day landings.

Ah ha!!!! I now have a definition of “doing.”
Apparently following a very heavy week’s tennis (this is true) my wife now has the opportunity to “do” other things like buy euros and trousers.............
Still sounds like shopping to me.......... by now I really should have learned.

You are not very good at this are you? Pay attention for goodness sake.

No. Clearly not.
A great example. I have things to “do” - visit my son, the ironing (I’m good at that!) AND I’m going shopping. Men are from Mars.......

Still a lot of money. Hope you have insurance. My wife wants a cocker spaniel puppy and I agreed on condition she gets insurance on it as well as I am dreading vet's bills.

Stratford Upon Avon this morning, we got in early so we didn't have to queue to get in the town, when we were leaving the queue of cars waiting to get in was impressive. I think I walked the legs of my Good Lady, she sat down with a cuppa when we got in and went to sleep.
