Long Weekend....

[gingerjedi]

Very cool - never been land-yachting or even been up close, it looks scary to me though. I did build one out of meccano as a kid!

Ever tried ice-yachting?

As long as you stick to the golden rule: "If in doubt sheet out" it's fine.

Never tried ice yachting but you can replace the wheels with blades on a Blokart if need be.

Sat - Off to Oxford for a birthday and also to catch up with some of the globetrotting retirees in the family
Sun/Mon - Off to Leicester to visit more family

I'll try to grab my Paralympic atheletics finals tickets from Hyde Park at some point before it gets too busy. Looking forward to the 8th September now.

Tomorrow is fitting kleets to bike followed by looking at Hever Castle cycle course. Sunday is collecting church sponsorship. Monday is my birthday! Kids decided my most fun day would be a steam train trip followed by BBQ! I bet I get socks too.

Tonight I am undecided. I am lake swimming. Then should I go see my mate who is a good laugh and reliable? Or bring my 20 yo mistress home and have a threesome with Mrs BP? The mistress is so unreliable. I will be messed about. And she is a thief too. Decisions decisions...

A fellow contractor at clientco is visiting friends in Wolverhampton for a day, but I'm not.

Bristol's lovely, hope the weather goes well for you.

I'm moving house, from Berkshire to Surrey and it couldn't have come sooner. Most boring depressing place I've ever lived at, and that's saying something (I've lived in Hendon Sunderland!)

So looking forward to re-igniting my social life.

Careful - I bet she takes photos on her smartphone too, then sells them to the international online media. Have Mrs BP remove her smartphone before then shenanigans begin.

I can't find a bike that i like as much as the pre-vtec VFR (although I have the VTEC now). Blades/R1s too uncomfortable for long trips, TDM etc not sporty enough.....am stuck between two 'types'. Was thinking of looking at the Fazer. Had a 1200 Bandit years ago, but never liked it.

Thought I'd die before selling my pre-VTEC VFR. But the old girl had to go, especially since I also have a VTEC VFR. Anyways...

Bought a MK2 CBF1000. Absolutely fantastic bike. Comfortable, powerful, great fuel range, ABS. Wouldn't swap it for my old pre-VTEC. Seriously, try one, you won't be disappointed.

The boy and I are going down to Bristol for a couple of days.

If you get time go to the observatory at the Clifton suspension bridge, some great views over Bristol.
