    So... when we finally see the back of this wretched season... what are your plans for the Summer?

    Watching the cricket? Euros? Olympics?.. going golfing... drinking..... ballet dancing (just for you JPF)?

    I'm off to China in June.... then looking forward to the Euros..... then off to Turkey for a few weeks in August... and also watching the Olympics.

    I'll also be devouring that 7.5kg Serrano Ham in the back yard with some good mates and fine beers/ales/ciders/wines.

    Golfing, drinking, watching Euros, a holiday for 14 days with the missus and little one (probably Portugal), drinking, Olympics, drinking watching cricket, drinking.

    Moved into a new house at Xmas so I'll be throwing a few summer parties to make use of the new garden. I've moved right next to the local woods and have been trekking through there on a regular basis. The little on loves it down there so no doubt we'll be down there a fair bit. See if she fancies diving off the dam like we used to <laugh>

    Did I mention drinking?

    I'm self employed so don't have time for fancy **** like holidays. (When I were a lad we got up before we went to bed, and all that). I'll definitely be making time to watch the Euros though!

    Euro's (if Wiltshere makes the squad I'll be rooting for another country, done nothing all year to deserve a call up and the guy is the cum stain on life's blanket - passionately dislike the guy if you couldn't guess) Olympics and any other sporting events on over summer
    Lots of work towards the new season for the local club I run (change of name, trials, sorting out new sponsors, organizing team events e.g. paintball, footgolf etc)
    Meeting the girlfriends mum for the first time - shes Chinese and speaks no English and I'm English who speaks no Chinese (thats a lie, I got: Hello - (nee how), I love you - (wo ai ni) and sweet melon - (hami gua) down to a tee as well as a few cuss phrases but won't be implying them much over summer)
    Holiday - somewhere in the Mediterranean, where ever the missus chooses.
    And potentially moving house - depending on how much the landlord wants to increase the rent.

    Nah my missus is at uni over here and we've been going out for just over 2 years so not taken the plunge yet but I'm secretly saving to go over with her at some point soon but then she also wants us to go on holidays across Europe because its all new to her so shes rinsing my money before i can surprise her haha.

    Would love to go to Hainan though - the Chinese Hawaii!

    Just come back from Mauritius, then Cyprus in September and Dubia in November.
    Looking forward to the Euros and Olympics, well pretty much any decent sporting events.
    Also plan a couple of trips to the North Norfolk coast, Brancaster is my favourite. It's really lovely in rain or shine.
    Also looking forward to my niece getting married. Oops also forgot to say that l am also looking forward to seeing Rafa turn this crock of **** into a proper football club again.

    -aiming to have transformed the garden over the next few months from it's current weed-infested craphole, and turned the pond from a rancid green mess to a picturesque water feature
    -drinking lots to commiserate the demise of my football club
    -go to a few cricket matches at the Oval hopefully, beer, sun, cricket, yay
    - Euros!!!!
    - a few summer festivals planned in the UK and abroad
    - go on holiday to Turkey for a week in July, and Slovenia for a week a few weeks later.

    James at Newcastle City Hall next week.

    Benidorm then beckons for a Teetotal fortnight in June.
    Unfortunately, the Euros are on at the time with England playing all our Group games.
    No doubt, I'll be forced to sit through each match against my will.

    I have a target of playing around a Golf this summer, but, I'm not sure any Golf Club, will be overjoyed at my 30st bulk driving Buggies on the greens.
    You'd think they'd make golf courses flatter to encourage people to play....

    Back to Benidorm in late summer. <ok>

    Watch the cricket and Euro's, as well as making sure I can stay in employment and hopefully gain permanent employment with Durham County Council.

    We should catch up for another beer mate. I'm off to the Lancashire game at Durham in July so maybe then.

    Love Benidorm. Stay at the Michaelangelo apts when I go. We book the top floor penthouse. £400 for the 5 days for 4 massive bedrooms.
    Lager is cheaper than cola over there.
