Last summer was a shocker. “What summer?” I hear you cry. Exactly. Now, one side of me loved last year, as it meant that I had no hayfever whatsoever.
However, I can already feel the pollen taking effect. My eyes are itchy. I’m sneezing more than I usually do. So a bad sign for the hayfever, but it’s a good sign for the nice hot summer that we missed out on last year. The summer before was awesome: lots of opportunities for barbeques, drinking in the evenings etc. etc.
I really hope that it stays like this.
Dislaimer: I take no responsibility for jinxing the weather.
I love bank holidays. Not because I don’t have to go to work (I’m really enjoying my job at the moment) but because Emma and I always do something. Since she works at weekends, we don’t often get to spend a lot of time doing stuff together so we make sure that we defintely do something on Bank holidays.
Today was no different. Up early (kind of) we went to The Vyne, a 16th century house near Basingstoke, then drive back to The Good Intent, a really nice pub in Puttenham, then off to Puttenham common for a walk.
Was a really hot day, and we’re both tired. But it was a really really nice day. Roll on the summer holiday!
Update: Just added the photos to Flickr
I was looking up Thorpe Park on t’internet (I’m going there in a few weeks time) and was looking at how to get there on Google Maps.
The last time I went there was in October and it seemed quite big, area wise. But having looked on Google Maps, it looks really small.
It’s been just over a week now, but last Tuesday I finally passed my driving test!! It’s only taken me about 9 years to do so. I’m going down to Portsmouth tomorrow to test drive a car (a Peugeot 307 to be precise). It all depends on a couple of financial things, but with any luck I’ll be driving it back up to Guildford on Sunday night.
I’ve just upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress (2.5 for those interested). No problems with it so far. New dashboard looks nice. Might take a little while to find my way around it as a few things have changed, but not so bad so far.
