Fantastic Friday……

My last day of skiing and what a great time I had.
We headed straight off to the red runs where I excelled myself.
I seem to have lost my fear of skiing somwhere………

We finished the day off by having Gail and Theirry over for a cheese fondue, its the first time I had made one and it turned out excellent… you could say the Perfect end to the Perfect holiday.

2000 miles…

If your a regular reader of my blog you will remember that my older son got a job in August 2008 after being un-employed for 9 months.

This job is at the Bircham Newton Construction College a good 12 miles from where we live.

The only way for him to get to work was to cycle ,so that a 25 mile round trip.

Thankfully he was already very fit so the cycling was not a problem for him.

I have worked out he has now cycled at least 2000 miles in all weathers and never once complained.

I know very few 20 year old boys that would show that kind of dedication.image

That 2000 miles does not include any over time either.

NOW I think the time has come to encourage him to take his driving test again which is proving to be a hard task.

Even though I kept my red Clio for him when I got my new car.

It seems that as he is only contracted to work part time he is worried he will not be able to afford to run a car.

After looking into insurance for him I can see why he is worried  BUT he really needs to be driving.

So when we return from our holiday I will book a test for him then he has no choice 🙂

Always with me….

I received some lovely gifts at Christmas from my loved ones.

I am listening to one right now…"The Katie Melua Collection " anglesey abbey

But my favourite gift has to be the 12inch digital photo frame that Geoff gave me.

I have spent hours filling it with all my favourite photos.

Many of the photos have been taken on the lovely walks and holidays we have been on so hold great memories.

I have the frame sat on my computer desk right next to my laptop.

As you would expect there are also many photos of Geoff.

So when he is away travelling he always feels close by, as the photos randomly rotate round.

How Smart Is Your Right Foot ?

Just try this…….It is from an orthopaedic surgeon…..

This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your right foot, but you can’t.  It’s pre-programmed in your brain!!
1.   While sitting where you are , at your desk, in front of your computer, lift your right foot  off the floor and make clockwise circles.
2.  Now, while doing this, draw the number ‘6’ in the air with your right hand.  Your foot will change direction!

I told you so!!!!  And there’s nothing you can do about it.  You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done, you are going to try it again, if you’ve not already done so.  Send it to your buddies, to frustrate them also.

Happy Birthday

I can hardly believe that my youngest son is 17 today

A cute baby
