Morning

Bit tired this morning after too many beers and a late night last night. Saw rob Beckett - his show needs a bit more work, but interaction with the crowd was fantastic. Yesterday's hippy event was actually really good, helped by the weather, but good in its own right - after having a go in a kayak I'm currently trawling eBay for one :D

Today is out with some if the lads, unsure which bike I'm taking, probably the proper one with gears as the weather looks great. That will be followed by cleaning cars, bit of chainsaw action and then a visit to our second home, aka the local pub :)

    Look into where you can use a kayak before buying one, you may not be so keen then (depends where you live really).

    Mehning Losers!

    Work today, in the vain hope of getting things ready for tomorrow. It won't happen, and then people will shout. Meh.

    That's pretty much today summed up, except, have you donated to http://www.justgiving.com/cc2cc yet? If not, why not? And if you have, why haven't you donated again?
    Laters!

    You sound like the wife........

    TBH it is mainly the canal round here, but I've got a piraña canoe that we often stick on the roof and take on holiday with us - so not much difference

    Morning Flange Hounds,

    Looks like its going to be quiet in here over the next few days - good luck to CCC2CCC'ers.

    I was up early due last nights curry giving me the 'Calcutta splutter' so am now trying to flush the last of it out with coffee :). Part of the day needs to be spent entertaining junior then hopefully will get to see some of the F1. In the meantime back to searching for shiny expensive stuff in the interweb.

    Maybe I am your wife, checking up on you! ;)

    Fair enough. I really wanted to get into kayaking a few years ago, but then found I'd have to take a pretty long drive to find somewhere decent, and then pay for the privilege. Put me off.

    Good good, they're doing really well with money raising, but we don't want it to stop :D

    Monging bumders

    Strip rehearsals in full swing. Bumped into Martin Freeman on the way into uni, he's definitely not a real hobbit but his dog is fairly tiny. This evening is the first night of freshers, round 5, should be fun, no way will I be in uni tomorrow. Also I think I'll give them crudders a bit of money to bugger off for the week, after the amount Gaz has been on about it the past few months seems only fair.

    Loading another van tomorrow. Then off to Brummy land.
