Back in blighty and sober, well as sober as normal.

Copenhagen was an eye opener! It's 13 years since we were there last, and things have changed.

The beer side is now dominated by a host of micro breweries in the city, Carlsburg isn't on offer as the only choice. Being with Swedish friends who know the city was an advantage, Benny took us to at least 5 bars/pubs with there own beers, all VERY drinkable.

Average price was around £6, but they were all above 5.9%ABV!

great city and well worth a visit.

Internet connection is usefull, and I have piggy backed on unsecured connections in the past.

I have to go to Copenhagen for a week or so to meet some Swedish friends. It's our 30 anniversary of meeting on a ferry, in the bar, and that should give a clue as to what we'll be doing a lot of...

...see you all when I get back.

They'll like that.

Our freinds in Sweden already think we're mad so a little pointlessness is normal as far as they're concerned!

Have a good time Stuey.

Strange in the fact that it was a personal TT, as for the winner, superb record for the Tour.

The saw's great, much better than my previous one.

And things go from good to better, another win for Lewis, this could be his 3rd championship, and not an easy one where Nico's concerned.

Forgot to mention the home-brew, 40, sorry 39 pints barreled and drinkable in support of the bought stuff...

Strange start to the Tour, but at least it gave somebody who's not a big name chance to wear the yellow jersey, let's see how things develop over the next two days in the low countries.

As an aside to the Tour, we did a 2 monthly visit to Booths and came away with 52 bottles of assorted beers, the 'local' well healed (read that as posh!) customers looked down their noses at such a quantity of beer. It's alright for them, they can call in daily for a 1/2 bottle of gin/scotch and nobody judges them.

Time to cut some logs with the new chain saw and then it'll be F1, come on Lewis!

The prroper TT finished a few weeks back, there's no comparison to the Isle of Man.

Great drinking weather!

On the second Marstons Pale Ale, already finished a Ricard and half a bottle of Cote de Rhone...

....nothing changes..

Sounds good Stuey.

New windows install is now working sort of right, For some reason the old install decided to stop working so a fresh install of win7 is now handling things.

Finally got the holiday photos sorted and another trip to France booked for October.

Mrs HG agreed that we needed to go back having seen the hole in the wine cellar

Oh yes.

The advantages of older houses, half the cellar is full of junk, the rest ....
