Day 190 – Friday 14th September 2018
It’s hard work being a cat
My tenants are back in Poland for a week so as I have time on my hands I took their dog Meggie out for a walk. I’ve yet to properly recover from walking down Snowdon so I was knackered when I got back. That’s old age for you.
Meggie; she may be small but she makes an extraordinary amount of noise.
Day 191 – Saturday 15th September 2018
To Denbies at Box Hill.
The grapes were very sweet and juicy but the skin was uneatable.
They had a food festival on.
We watched Dhruv Baker, the Masterchef champion from 2010, cook up some grub.
There was a fair turnout.
With another couple of days in Manchester ahead of me i thought it best if I ignored the van selling chips and had some lovely Lebanese food.
Julie couldn’t resist
Day 192 – Sunday 16th September 2018
Today is the Reigate half marathon
They had 5k and 10k races too
I think he’s checking his watch to see if the pie shop is still open
The winner of the half marathon. I didn’t bother hanging about to take a photo of the loser who came second
The winner of the women’s half marathon.
Day 193 – Monday 17th September 2018
Up early and to off to Manchester. It took 5¾ hours
Fuckin’ M6
When we did eventually arrive in Manchester we hotfooted it over to iFLY 😀
It’s a giant wind tunnel turned on its side
I don’t like flying and if I ever did find myself in an aeroplane I certainly wouldn’t be rushing to jump out of it but I reckon I can handle this.
Worryingly they appeared to be fixing the machine when we arrived.
There were some pesky kids in our group and a couple of 8 or 9 year old girls were annoyingly good.
Julie was a bit of a natural too!
Even though I’d lashed out an extra fiver for a superman costume I wasn’t very good but it was great fun 😀
Day 194 – Tuesday 18th September 2018
The day of my Dad’s funeral.
The buffet was at the Masonic Hall.
There was a good turn out. I’d ordered the food and by Christ there was a lot of it.
I knew they’d be a few vegetarians there so I ordered enough for 5 but there was easily enough for 15.
My brothers Carl, & David and me. While we were posing my Aunty Trisha suggested Carl pull his belly in 😀
Aunty Trisha, she’s cheeky and is great fun
As was my Dad
Day 195 – Wednesday 19th September 2018
Back to Surrey via Walsall
My eldest has suggest I have a new segment on the blog… ChipAdvisor
I like a good chippy
Regular chips and curry sauce, £3
They are not stingy at the Broadway Chippy in Walsall. Chips were slightly greasy but the curry sauce was great. I think 3/5
Day 196 – Thursday 20th September 2018
Up early and off to Dover to get a ferry to France.
Hopefully we won’t be back until July
After a difficult two weeks it’s great to be back on the continent.
Julie has listened to far too much My Dad Wrote A Porno
Tomorrow we head for Knokke in Belgium then on to The Hague and Amsterdam. High Times 😀
