Back again ...

Post by pvr » Sat Jul 21, 2012 2:00 pm

After a week away for work and then straight on holiday in Italy, I am back again.

The only place I have seen where there are more X6 models then X5, could not believe it (Lake Garda). Great to see sun for a week as well instead of the eternal rain here.

Drove a decent Fiat Punto Diesel about, not bad at all and a fuel consumption of nearly 70 mpg to go with it, it was cheap as well.

Will check to see what you reprobates have been up to  :))

Very funny AW8  :))

Someone must have put some plant feed in the rain as after two days of working in the garden, it is still like a forest  :'(

I was going to cut our grass today but about 25,000 Honey Bees have decided that our garden is their new home!  Just waiting to hear from a local beekeeper who collects swarms.  If the weather holds I should be able to try again tomorrow afternoon.

EDIT can't do it tomorrow either due to a number of 'waifs and strays' left behind who will in the words of the beekeeper 'be a bit feisty!  Stay well clear!'

At this rate it'll be raining again before I can cut it.  :(

Welcome back. Glad the trips went well. Any pics from Italy vacation (always find Italy so scenic/picturesque)?

Indeed I did have a birthday last week, no idea how you knew though :)

It is manic with work at the moment, travelling all over the place and not having time to even do anything on the web.

Real work is a pig  :))

Thanks for that Sanj, will remember that.

No idea where the time goes at the moment but have no time what so ever to even get on here as I am on the road / in the air all the time at the moment. A lot of companies seem to be desperate to spend money with bad system analysts  :))
