A Catch up ...

Sounds Familiar - It's been a few weeks since I blogged... well that's correct but there have been a few things happening in the meantime including the following:-

The Poole experience - a weekend down at Poole with Janet and Andy, the chance to se some of he countryside and take a few piccies of the event including some great shots of Cygnets.

Lundy Island - Weather could have been a little better but an interesting day out exploring this Island off the coast of North Devon. Didn't see any Puffins though.

To see the photos follow this link then select Photos and browse the list...

Amsterdam - Spent a few days here (3 nights) with a mix of culture and chilling out. Very nice hotel in the city centre meant that we walked most places.

The Jersey Boys - the last of Carol's birthday presents was a trip to London to see the musical of the same name - the story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Very good production - long coach trip.

Sailing has moved to the back burner recently partly due to the above but I am hoping to resume again soon - today perhaps if the weather holds out after all it is Glastonbury this weekend.

I bought a new toy for the computer - a 3850 graphics card for the Vista PC which allowed the existing card to be passed down to the 2nd machine. It's performing well too - with a Windows score of 5.9 and an overall score (lowest) of 5.7)
