**** footy, what you all got planned for the summer? Gonna be good when it kicks in apparently. Myself, buying a house and hopefully my first trip abroad since I went to the Ardennes when I 15. Going to try and get my self a part-time job as well as doing some volunteering at a cattery/kennels for rescue pets. Apart from that plenty of afternoons in the beer gardens. Struggling for an appetite for life recently so going to really try and enjoy myself for once this summer.
Oh, there's a world cup on as well, may as well watch a bit of footy too. Thank **** it's not Sunderland though.
Got a **** load going on for the rest of the year. No holidays planned, building work, hopefully, in the house. Maybe a cheap week away. Asian wedding reception in November, that takes a ridiculous level of planning, for a wedding that took place abroad last year! But just to point out mate, summer was last weekend. Even wore shorts out. Got the heating back on now. Good luck with house purchase Bri. And hope you get to enjoy a holiday abroad this year, wherever, or how briefly it may be. Have a good year Bri from this point on!
Off up to Blacksail next weekend with our lad its a hostel where you can only get to by walking to it then we have a 3 course meal kip up for breckie and then head for Sca fell I will probably be on our lads back by then completely f ucked back home for a few days then off up to Hutton Roof in the Northern Lakes for a week with our lass and the canoe's.
I'll try my best fella, you too. I saw one of the Asian wedding receptions on Karl Pilkington's Moaning of life tv show, looks chaotic, how can they know that many people? I could well have building work on initially, hope I can get it sorted quickly.
8 of is including the two grandkids off to Normandy in the Whit week school break to show the littleuns where their great grandad landed on D Day. Bit educational and lots of fun hopefully and in August taking the grandkids to Anglesey to learn paddle boarding ( their idea not mine) but willing to give it a go. As long as we can forget all about football it should be a laugh.
They're looking at between 3 and 4 hundred! Insane! They won't know half of them, there'll be dozens of uninvited turn up and dozens invited won't bother turning up. It's organized chaos! But its about keeping face and making a statement. Like I said earlier, ridiculous! But culture is culture!
I visited my uncle's grave in Normandy mate. It's an emotional experience. The ages of guys buried there is truly shocking when you see them first hand.
It will be great that. The Ardennes changed my life, grow up massively in the space of a few days there, truly humbling experience.
Tenerife in September and still to book a holiday for late on in June. Might still be in Tenerife but up the North of the island. Will be going to the Ebor meeting and then a few days on the lash in York.
Off to Poland on Friday Zante in June Cruise in July Cruise in October Loving the snooker World Cup soon Just in from the pub More snooker
Missus coming down South to my gaff for a week by the sea... then when I finish work on Aug 3rd i’ll drive over to Dunkirque for a break before heading home for the start of the season
This is our sixth visit and the cemeteries are truly emmotional, it's the first visit for our grandkids, they've been learning about it in school (WW2 )so seeing so many graves of such young men should bring it home to them. If the father in law hadn't made it home then I'd have ended up marrying someone else as our lass would never have been born and I find that quite humbling.
New bike 2 weeks ago, done a couple of hundred miles but looking for dry roads and warm weather and trips to lakes, Northumberland and my favourite St Mary's Loch.
Dry roads and the Lakes in the same sentence has to be wrong. It's been raining here since lunchtime which isn't unusual for us poor North westeners
Wow! Clocking up the airmiles there Nads! Looks impressive, until Vince turns up and lists the couple of weeks he'll be home this year!
