Numbed retro addict

Just been to the dentist and have that numb feeling, oh what a month it's been - rain, sun, rain again and then again, a typical summer really. Still, it's a British thing isn't it? Moan about the weather constantly then complain that it's too hot when the sun shines a bit. Though the summer has been pants it has to be said, no wonder millions of us jet off to the sun each year. Me? My favourite sunny place must be the Algarve, it's not too far away but is far enough!

Was at work between 7am and 9am today as it was my turn to drive my esteemed mother to the Western General  for her ongoing treatment, just a day to go before I'm off to the Ingolstadt German beerfest thingy in Kirkcaldy. Plan on going Friday and Saturday actually and it's sure to be good if last time is anything to go by.  After that I'll have about 4 weeks until I'm off to the Volksfest down Stuttgart way. For this festival I have the ideal thing- a lederhosen Morphsuit! Though would I actually wear it? I can imagine that toilet visits would be complicated. Heard at work that I may have a wee trip to Berlin coming up, not bad if true, we'll see.


This flat needs tidying but I'm just unable to make a start, probably because I'm addicted to a relatively ancient computer game Return to Castle Wolfenstein, my new PC doesn't even play it it's so old, but I have my old PC in the spare room.  Seems a bit daft that I bought a new PC only to spend more time on the old one, but there you go. I'll have to broaden my horizons and stop living in the past - honestly I'm so retro in so many ways...clothes (some say), music, TV, Films, PC Games, mobile phone..etc etc . Am I the only person alive who doesn't have internet on my phone? As for films, I'm working my way through a box-set of Hitchcock's greatest films..brilliant.

Off to fridge to get an alcohol-free beer, have to give my liver a few days rest before the weekend! See you in September!  Photo of me in garden and one of a beach cave in gorgeous weather.
