I’ve booked a kite land boarding lesson for next wednesday evening. It looks like a lot of fun and there is a great spot for it just around the corner from here. Its basically flying a parachute type kite while riding a skate board type thing. If I find I can handle it ok, I may even try kite surfing on the water.
Anyway I will get Mike to come down too and snap some photos of me.
Wish me luck!
Today I had to go into the office. This meant getting up before the sparrowfart at the ungodly hour of 5.30am. It’s a bit of a novelty going to the office these days. Everyone gives that shock/horror look wondering why I made the effort of a 3 hour commute when there are no drinks planned for the evening.
Then there was the drama with my bottom drawer in my desk. I made the mistake of leaving some cereal in my draw the last time I was in the office about a month ago, and a mouse/rat had got into it. There is muesli and mouse droppings all over the place. It stinks! I’ll get someone from premises to deal with that tomorrow when I am not there.
Then the trains lived up to their reputation by being affected by major engineering work. What is normally a 2 hour train journey now turned into a 3 hour journey. I could get to goddamned Paris quicker! The problem with these long train journeys is they have a bar onboard. Normally I get plastered on the 2 hour journey, so I thought it best to catch the train to mikes work and get a lift home with him. This was a good move as we also got home in time for Home and Away and bike night down the quay.
I am sooo looking forward to a sleep in tomorrow morning.
Apparently we are going to have highs of 17 degrees over all of the easter days. I wonder if the weather website is just saying that to make us feel good or whether it will really happen.
I really do hope so as we have some awesome bike rides lined up for the weekend. This is the plan if the weather stays good:
Good Friday: Cycle to the new forest and forage for some caches
Saturday: Cycle to lulworth cove and durdle dor
Sunday: Cycle to Swangage and catch the ferry back
We should have some amazing photos after the weekend so stay tuned!
Well apparently they are lobsters. not sure what the difference is. These guys were bringing up loads of crates of lobsters and all different types of crabs down the Quay. We considered buying one but neither of us really knew what do to with it.
