Morning all, prepping the car for the holiday which mainly will be check the levels and then give it a thorough clean, could really have done with AndyK being over this weekend.

And as far as Lego goes, $850 is not surprising there are equivalent sets over here for similar money. I actually find it quite therapeutic either that of madness going by the number of sets we have built and on display

Good morning everyone from a Sunny Silverstone. Here for the MotoGP, a bit like Formula 1 but with overtaking and unpredictability and £100 weekend tickets.

Morning, all...yes, the Millennium Falcon for a 13-year-old girl is apparently the perfect gift. And "Barbie" actually wasn't awful, though I did note that there were not a whole lot of menfolk present. Speaking of LEGO, not sure how or why Will Ferrell is now the go-to actor for CEO roles in IP movies, but here we are. Made to get up before 5a to watch the US team lose to Sweden; guess I will go mow before the rain moves in this afternoon...

So going to see Barbie could be a great place to pick up a single yummy mummy? I'll tell my friend...

Morning all, Regent’s Park today, stripping old nets off a large unit to replace, going to make them at the yard.

Have fun all…

Good morning everyone, after the past 4 days of a bit of the Wickham festival, Jesus and Mary Chain supporting Primal Scream and MotoGP at Silverstone with my nephew, I'm having the next three days off ... hope you don't mind.

If you do, tough, be offended...

However, I've got lots of domestic stuff to do with the house sale...might even buy one soon...

Morning everyone!

Recovering from the mud of Wickham festival today. The washing machine is having a workout! We discovered some great new music too. Highlights were:
"Track Dogs", an Irish group based in Madrid doing a fusion of folk and latin rock with a most excellent trumpeter,
"Olllum", who have apparently taken Ireland by storm for the last decade and are only recently getting known elsewhere. Another folky number, with incredible groove in baffling time signatures and a lot of impressive rhythmic modulation, and
"Skerryvore", a Scottish rock group who were VERY loud! They mix rock with fiddle, flutes, lute and bagpipes, and even the bagpipes need amplifying to be heard!

Back to working with a bump, but some house viewings are getting booked in for Skye's house. That, with mine now exchanged should mean we can think about serious offers in Poole.

HapPea Monday! xXx
