Morning all, more outside jobs before the weather really turns but Moto GP & Superbikes are on over the weekend if I need some inside relaxation.

Also fancy watching the Schumacher story on Netflix

Morning all, I too will be making the most of the weather this morning and cutting the hedge in the alley and clearing some of the scrap yard by the garage maybe!


Oh a pool session later with the little boat to try and master rolls (even doing one would be good).

Have fun all…

Holiday in 2 weeks ( wife reminded me I’ve worked 2 years solid now without a proper break )

Right with you. Exactly this.

Morning, mob. Back from Whistable. 4 FSCKING hours to get there yesterday.

TBH I wouldn't rush back to The Sportsman. It was OK but no better than several restaurants we know much closer.

Have a good one, all

Mastering an eskimo roll - if I remember correctly, it’s all in the hip action. So you want to swivel your hips when you’re doing the back paddle upside down in the water. And lean back. I must admit I haven’t done them for years, but once you get it, it’s easy.

I used to be good at it but nearly 40 years has dulled the muscle memory! My big issue atm is length of lung capacity; I’m sure I have sufficient but my brain is screaming ‘GET OUT!’

I managed to do one once when I was about 15, I was so shocked at successfully re-surfacing I stopped looking at the topless Germany women for about 30 seconds.

Funny, that! I also learnt in Germany, in Chiemsee, with the army. Wasn’t topless.

Think it was the same place for me. Was definitely in Bavaria. Bit of a culture shock walking into a swimming pool in Germany and seeing naked people!!

Good morning all…..Up all night with the squirts …. My butt was like emptying a dirty old radiator…..Anyway back to the day.

I’m instantly taken back to LeMans!

Wishing you a seedy solidification Andy.

Morning all, more in the garden today with a run to the tip planned.

kayaking went well with the roll starting to come together. It is anything but intuitive to do, the instant you are upside down nothing makes sense!

Have fun all…

Morning all, lovely sunny day so off with the family for a walk on the beach.

Certainly beats building but the car port is done bar the roof which doesn't arrive until next week
