Catching Up

It’s been a busy week, still fixing the last few bits of the flat ready for putting it on the market (this week, we hope).

I managed to acquire a copy of Tom Baker’s autobiography from his website shop, along with a copy of the new Pyramids of Mars DVD Both were signed by Tom too.

Grimsby Town got a new manager and promptly lost 3-0 in their first match under him. Seems a long way since the previous week’s 6-1 victory over Barnsley!

There seems to be a bout of redundancies amongst people I know; Paul McDonald is leaving Warner Chappell , and it looks like my wife, Victoria, will be leaving the NTA
With rising interest rates, it’s probably a good time to sell up and travel, so let’s hope that all comes to pass.

The travelling plans are morphing as time passes, the idea of taking the Trans Siberian railway over to Vladivostok isn’t so likely now, as the train gets very busy during the summer and it gets more difficult to get a ticket at a decent price, so we may well be going from the UK to India.

Before that, we have Deb’s wedding in France to attend, and Glastonbury (if we can get tickets), so we’re considering buying a camper van, and doing a bit of a tour round before setting off to India. I’ve not driven for about 16 years, and Vic doesn’t drive at all, so that could all be a bit exciting!

The TG Noticebd reunion is on this Saturday, which I’m quite looking forward to. I’ve not seen most of that lot in more than 10 years.

Doing lunch with Dan and Daemonn today which will get me out of the house again. I didn’t get out much last week due to jobs to do and Vic being home with a very bad cold. I did manage to get two light fitting sorted out, so the front room is no longer lit by a light fitting held up by a bit of wire wrapped through a screw hole. And the bathroom has a new light and shaver point, not that I’m likely to use either.
