Obrigado

After having a few logging in problems, probably related to a bottle of lovely Glenfarclas that I bought on a ferry to Holland, everything now seems ok.

The month started in Portugal where the weather didn't start of too great, but things got warmer and warmer as the week went on. Managed a trip to Gibraltar, but the coach trip there and back was a bit of a disaster, took bloody ages so it did. Other than that trip, didn't do much, just spent lazy days walking about, drinking cold beer and even swimming in the ocean, was cold but the secret is just to rush in.

Arrived home on a Sunday, then next day it was down to Newcastle for the overnight ferry to Holland got the trip free through work and the ferry was very nice, plenty to do on board, cabin was nice and there were bargains to be had in the duty free! Arrived Tuesday morning on the continent and then it was only a short drive to the destination. Spent 4 nights there, one alone as you know who was away collecting stuff in the car in Germany. Nice theme park there too, very popular with families. Missed the election while over there so that was good!

Been back at work now for a week and a bit, it's as if i've never been away, Tomorrow I am doing a long shift, but I have Friday, Sat and Sunday off, so can't complain.

Not been running for about a month now, how lazy is that? Well, there will be more opportunity now the weather is getting better.
