I'm still hungover from Saturday night / Sunday mornings exploits.
Draw your own conclusions from that.

Was awesome thanks!
Saturday was spent chilling out and watching Lone Ranger at Cineworld. Enjoyed it! Other half had picked up some voucher near Tesco with Clifton Photography for a family photo shoot thingy. So yest afternoon was spent in Bristol getting clicked at. Then we found a very nice Audi A3 3.2 V6 quattro 53 plate in Dorset, and my wife was hating the Honda Civic i-Shift gearbox, so traded that in with a couple of hundred quid. Reached home at midnight, overslept and now at workplace an hour late

Better than expected.
I spent some time with my brother, sister-in-law and their two children, which doesn't happen often enough.
And packing for the holiday, which can't start soon enough - just need the van to come back from the garage, and the family to come back from dropping the dog off at the kennels.

Yes it was fabulous thanks.
between playing "Star Wars the Old Republic" (WOW set in star wars world with star wars characters - eg. jedi vs sith) I created slides for another video for plan B and went for a nice walk round Hampton court palace.
Oh and went to a hilarious bbq full of young 20 something middle class crusty lefty "occupy" types who like to argue and complain and took great offence at my capitalistic approach to life - especially the dirty speculant activities

- Dutch appear to enjoy turning over caravans on their way home blocking motorways
- Cruise set at 85 on the motorways with an occasional bored foray up to 120mph - car returned 51.9 mpg av
- Joined the Eastern European influx on the 04:00 ferry to Dover- of note is they all appear to now have UK reg vehicles
- While waiting to board the ferry a fat bint in Hungarian reg vehicle chose to change her trouser which entailed going to the rear of the vehicle dropping her keks exposing a very skimpy thong between two very rippled buttocks my eyes my eyes !

Very good thanks.
Friday, I did some training at lunchtime and then repadded my helmet (not a euphamism unfortunately).
Saturday, took the kids swimming and then went for lunch with some of the extended family.
Sunday, went to Wellingston Country Park and then watched the new Red Dawn film (okay but not a patch on the original) whilst repadding my gorget.
How was yours?

Superb thanks - cheers for asking.Originally posted by Alias View PostWas good thanks, how was yours?
Twins came home on FRiday night after week away with their mother at Blackpool. I let them go to Eltham on their own Sat morning which they loved. Sat afternoon MrsBP arrived back from North Wales.
Sunday we picked our cherry tree (Rent A Cherry Tree) and made 10 jars of lovely Cherry jam.
MrsBP has now left for centreparcs for the week with the kids. I stay here and pay for it.

An overall view, yes, BUT I did waste far too much time in traffic.
Lost an hour in a 5 mile tail back on the A30 going down to Cornwall to see father-in-law.
Lost another hour in a long tailback somewhere near Weston Super Mare on the M5 coming home yesterday.
Other than that, all tasks were achieved, see fathers, see children, see grandchildren, pick up repaired car.
Glad to have the Murano back, a Nissan Note really didn't cut it in comparison. Major bonus was a fill-up of the Note was only £45.
