Its finished!!

 

Well it took a while but the last few days holiday allowed me to make the finishing touches to the drive, including hiring a Wacker plate to smooth out the bumps and dips. The photo below shows the staff who were employed on the project  (myself and my trusty companion Barney

 

 

So now its time to get my weekends back again and it started with a 8.5 mile run this morning. Unfortunately it was also supposed to be the weekend I resumed my sailing too, but the water level at Durleigh is very low indeed and some boats have run aground  on submerged trees and bridges causing extensive damage.

I haven’t been working all week though and on Monday I finally ordered my new bicycle. The new 2010 Bianchi bikes were much lower spec than the previous years model so I decided to go for a Specialized Sirrus Expert 2010 which I hope to collect on Sunday 20/09/09. This means that I might just have the chance to use it for a while before the weather turns nasty. Its a good job I didn’t have it this week as I probably wouldn’t have got any jobs done.

Work is still very busy and I am due to go to Qatar on the 27th for a few days. We (Carol and I) are also planning a few days off in early October and hope to go somewhere like the Isle of Wight or somewhere similar.

As I sit here writing this, the sun is shining outside and its a lovely late Summer day in Weston super Mare – so I’m off out there…
