Home again
A ridiculous amount of rain this morning in Whitby. Made packing up the car a bit of a damp experience. The rain did not stop until we reached Pickering. Had a walk round, then onto a Garden Centre nearby. No purchases though. Lunch at the White Horse at Deighton. Then back home to await the [...]
Sunday – Whitby
Just been to the service at St Marys chuch at Whitby Abbey. Small comgregation, but an intersting service. Quite traditional. Now in the Duke of York Harbour Inn, for a spot of lunch. Fresh crab bagette. Nom nom.
Whitby ….
Got here without any problems. Well when I say that, we did miss the correct turn off the A171. Weather is quite good at the moment, although it has got dark very quickly. Had a crab baguette for lunch (one between two, huge !!). Eating in tonight. Pizza.
Wonderful …..
This afternoon, I had to get something out of the garage. For some reason, I happened to glance upward. What a wonderful surprise. There, circling about 100 foot above me was a Red Kite. Absolutely amazing sight. When I first saw the bird, it was into the sun, and I thought it was a [...]
First run
As the title implies, I did my first run this morning. Nothing major at first. The route I took is about a mile and a half, and I reckon I managed to run about 2 thirds of that. I don’t suppose that is bad for a first time, especially at my fitness level. I [...]
Another week bites the dust
Not a lot to say really. Work’s been a pain. I’m getting more and more fed up with the fools who think they are something. IT got it wrong again !! The software house was going to do the configuration this afternoon, but out lot had not done the work that was needed. [...]
More of a damp squib
Very few fireworks going off tonight. I suspect that it will all kick off tomorrow and Saturday. That will cause us problems !!! Youngest has a problem with fireworks. It really upsets him. The few that we have had tonight have caused problems, and still are. Here we are at 11:00pm and he is [...]
Happy anniversary
A very good day all told. We had a trip out to the McArthur Glen outlet at York. I bought Mrs H the handbag and purse she wanted, and I got a pair of trainers. I’m thinking of doing a bit of running. I need to do some more exercise. We then had lunch [...]
Another day off ….
Yes, another day off on Wednesday. well it is my wedding anniversary, so i think I’m entitled. A reasonable day at work today. S**** appeared to be in a better mood than yesterday (I’m still flavour of the month) although still managing to be a pain. The migration from Lotus Notes to Outlook continues, [...]
A good deal ..
I got the car service and MOT done today. No major problems, except one with the rear suspension. Apparently ‘one of the bushes on one of the suspension arms had too much movement’ which partly failed the MOT. All gibberish to me, but it was a similar thing with the front suspension last year.
