I had my fingers crossed so i will be ok. I think.

I recon you'll get away with it, the context should save you from cooking.

A bit of a up and down day, I was disappointed to miss my ride this morning, but I got a few things done on the way out in the car, the car's now booked in for service and MOT at the end of the month, the wallpaper I didn't use got returned to Wallpaper Warehouse for money back and on the way back we got the new carpet sorted. This afternoon I got the last of the painting done, so the decorating's done, it's just cleaning and putting the room back together again once the new carpet's fitted.

Well, we went to Highbridge, had a look around all the vans and decided that we don't want a Sprite Alpine 2 after all.
We looked at the Swift Challenger Evolution 442 and liked it a lot.
Basically the same as the Sprite, but higher spec. Still open minded about what to have, but it pays to take your time and look around.
I'm thinking about changing our van in early 2020, but MrsD thinks we should do it next year. Decisions, decisions !

After returning from Spain late last night we spent some time looking for our next holiday. I may add I did spend an hour and a half on the excersise bike in the garage (wind was blowing like bilio so not safe to get out on real bike) to keep a cycling theme to my post.

From the sound of the wind out there this morning I will be lucky to have a roof left on the house.

Good morning, I woke early and couldn't settle so I'm laid in bed messing about on my tablet.

Morning. I'm up early as usual waiting on enough daylight for my early walk but it's chucking it down and windy with it. Not sure I want to have to put on all the waterproof gear and go out.

Morning all. Off to sunny Norfolk on the north coast for a long weekend with my 4 brothers. The youngest (55) is in residential care, so we try to have a long weekend a couple of times a year with him. No doubt the beer and banter will be good.

Well hello peeps. Setting up to be another beautiful day in the Pyrenees. Yesterday we walked an area around Pont d'Espagne and Lac de Gaube. It's a UNESCO world heritage site. Stunning. I doubt if we saw more than 20 people. Here's a taster:

Morning all, looking at the red sky in the morning ( bad omen) weather wise. We have just booked two charter flights in Coral Bay Australia for sightseeing, over Ningaloo reef and the coast to see if there are any humpback Whales on migration whilst we are in that part of the world in a few weeks time .
Only a week and a bit until my 6 week adventure begins. I am starting to get a bit excited about it now.
