Robbie Williams and the Southampton Boat Show

Well it's been quite a week, not least the fact that I have been away for most of the week for work at Stratford on Avon and Dorking. On Tuesday it was Robbie Williams and I must admit that I wasn't looking forward to this that much. Not that I don't like Robbies songs you understand, it was just that because things have been so hectic recently I didn't relish the thought of waiting around for hours in the middle of a field and paying silly prices for food etc. The concert however was very good and the time seemed to fly by, with the pre Robbie warm comprising Basement Jaxx (very good) and Orson (ok)

A late finish that evening meant that I spent the remainder of the week recovering though - must be getting old.

Saturday was the Southampton Boat Show and as last year the weather was particularly good. No major purchases, but a few little bits and pieces for the boat and an enjoyable day just wandering around the boats and stands. A few beers and a curry to complete the day made it a good one.

In a fit of peak I decided to buy a 1.4x teleconvertor for my DSLR and it would be nice if it were to arrive before I go on holiday, but no matter if not. I believe the wildlife is so tame in Galapagos that you can get really close to them.

No sailing this weekend as a combination of work stuff, practice packing and the Gym have made it difficult. But hope to go next week before the hols. Last weekend was good though, Andy and I went out for a few hours and we had good time although the wind could have been slightly stronger. Janet and Carol stayed ashore and drank red wine so they were happy too.

Busy week ahead again but making the countdown to the last day before I go away. I'm sure there is something that I have forgotten...
