But its not yet October!

If like me you remember those words, you will at present, if you are in the UK, be thinking about vests and heating. Is it just me but last night I had to light up the wood burner, it kept me warm whilst I cringed at that girl from t'up north on X Factor, you know the one with the perma tan, longest legs to end in the shortest hot pants, tongue piercing, hair extensions and of course a daughter who she is doing this ritual humiliation for, who cant sing but Simon has a soft spot for her. Where as did anyone take Storm, yes that is his real name, honest, seriously. My money is on Cher, awesome performance and just is so original. Ooops was that a bit opinionated of me. Anyhow cant possibly switch on the heating just yet as it is not quite October and whilst I might not be overly keen to ride a bike towing 25kg's for 60+ miles a day. The 42 degrees is seriously tempting.

This weekend has been packed, Saturday was a visit to a possible big school for Em, which took just over the hour to walk round. It was impressive and has left me with a very positive impression of what a good school that costs can really provide. This was followed by me taking Nathan for his surprise birthday treat. His birthday is on Wednesday and I am unfortunately in Scotland. I will leave the photos to describe what we saw

This was so cool - you entered from the right and suddenly exited onto the 'deck of the Ark Royal'

I want that one and to be honest either would do. Mr Plato's touring car!



Nath on Concorde hiding a smile



Powered by 12 chainsaws

Racing power tools - planers and grinders of choice

Yes they had a drag board. Reaction time of owner and speed of machine



Nath with a monster Dragster



Robowars! Oh yes for real!

That trapdoor is so cool

That robot (the blue one) is in the air!

The destruction is amazing - 750psi in the chopper the blue one carries!

So I can recommended the annual Silverline powertool racing event. The only rule seems to be that whether manned or unmanned the machine must be powered by a powertool or 12 engine. Simply really and who would have thought of it! Gadget show from Channel 5 was there but the coolest was Robowars and more than that thier owners. OMG they would not just scare horses, they scared me. I overheard a group talking on a table next to ours over lunch. They were describing the excitement of the previous evening hurling different types of batteries onto their campfire to see what happened. Woah steady on lads. Then there was a description for each one. I can tell you which is the most spectacular or the one that has orange and green flames but I wont as I have a life.

Today was spent doing all of those things that business owners love doing. end of month invoicing, payments and checking the finances. In amongst that I did venture out on my new bike, still no name and decided to do the opposite way round to the route I did on Friday. Good choice as I bowled down the hill at just under 30mph. I decided in advance where I would have a break, managed to get through the bike entrance on the track and pedalled lazily over to the picnic tables and stopped. Ooops I then fell over into a wonderful patch of nettles, ah well as I lay there laughing and wondering how to get toes out of clips I felt my phone ringing. It was Izzy. Awesome, my weekend just got even better. I know that they are now 52km from Hue and will be there tomorrow for a break of 3 days so stand by for blog updates and email responses.

I also heard tonight that the song I chose the other day that just says everything about how I feel towards her is now number one. Umm me thinks I will be hearing it alot then, so if I smile randomly it will be because that song will be spinning around in ma heed! (that is the only Scottish I know for now)
