The "Friday" came early this week. Five days off, back in office Tuesday.
And the sun is still shining....

Surely it can't be as bad as that, Tehcno? Would think you had some nice sunsets with this new export article from Iceland They seem to have an endless supply.

NOT. Buggers Stopped Again. Actually back in '56/57/58 The Triumph seat was superb and the BSA seat was so hard it stood for Bloody Sore Arse! I know I was there. I had a'54 Tiger 100. A '56 tiger 100. A '58/9 Thunderbird. I now have a little 1980's Honda CD 250 U which I use as a little runabout. CHEERS Vic.

The weather is matching my mood today, miserable . It is cold and very wet.
What happened to spring?
Long weekend ahead. Husband off tomorrow and Friday. Then he goes to France on business Monday - leaving at 5 am. He's driving so no danger of him getting stuck due to ash.
He gets back Thursday and we go to France on holiday on the Saturday .
I just hope the weather there perks up a bit between now and then. I can't see us using the swimming pool much.

Has anyone else been to see Davex`s brilliant shots of Concorde on Flickr yet ?
Really very revealing and extremely nostalgic.
Sun`s just gone back in here and the rain is starting !! Off for 9 holes at 1-00pm with Jo.
