Hannah’s grand parents have kindly given me a few items, that they had no need of any more, but that they would like to keep in the family. In fairness, I too have little needs of these things: [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-KHJO4CX6s_8/U17F3bxCgsI/AAAAAAAAEgg/hKNCr1Lr8ig/s144-c-o/GEDC6589.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007456509095740098″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6589.JPG” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-TNa6f7RiEV8/U17Fp17AUII/AAAAAAAAEgU/rJ0AOve5Bp4/s144-c-o/GEDC6588.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007456275598692482″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6588.JPG” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-CB2JhKDCeaU/U17FpTEeqDI/AAAAAAAAEgY/uBpSzMSEFTQ/s144-c-o/GEDC6586.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007456266243188786″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6586.JPG” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh4.ggpht.com/-TxzmRj2bpe8/U17FpEsl-dI/AAAAAAAAEgQ/8BjEIrvIyrg/s144-c-o/GEDC6587.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007456262384908754″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6587.JPG” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh4.ggpht.com/-yCSBhPWREDo/U17FAPT5E-I/AAAAAAAAEgA/7RssqLBJLiM/s144-c-o/GEDC6585.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007455560859456482″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6585.JPG” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-o4bmU5Z2CL0/U17E_lQ93II/AAAAAAAAEf8/JEvtN72v1J4/s144-c-o/GEDC6581.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007455549572897922″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6581.JPG” ] [pe2-image src=”http://lh6.ggpht.com/-R_AQO5FPXn8/U17E_Rz2mfI/AAAAAAAAEf4/2tHJ36jpZsE/s144-c-o/GEDC6583.JPG” href=”https://picasaweb.google.com/100446983108465419613/OurBlog#6007455544350513650″ caption=”” type=”image” alt=”GEDC6583.JPG” ]

Last weekend we popped over to the iow for a visit.     Today my l that part which I lost from my helicopter a couple of weeks ago turned up. Helicopter is now fixed. I am hoping to fly it this weekend, I’ll try to be careful!  

I have been looking to get a bike recently thinking that, as Hannah suggested, I might ride to work along the myriad of foot paths and cycle paths that pass from Maidenhead to Bourne End. Having trawled ebay for a while and lost a few bike being out bid, I finally won a bike last week. We drove to Redditch last night in Worcestershire to pick up the bike, about a 200 mile round trip.

I don’t think this requires any requires an explanation.

Last Thursday I was leaving work at 5pm, I walked down to my car, got in, fastened my seat belt, pulled the choke out and started the car, it revved up to about 4000 rpm, and when revved it would go higher, but did not reduce.

So I just removed the offending […]

This morning whilst eating cooked breakfast at the Blue River restaurant, we decided that we would take a trip to out to east coast, maybe south of the Thames. at 12.30 we were driving into Dover.
