    Another great weekend

    Posted on by snee

    Lisa didn’t have the kids this weekend, so we went out for a drink Friday and Saturday night. Our usual thing is head to the King’s Head for a couple, play some pool (Lisa is quite the player – beating me more and more now), then head off to the Pig and Falcon to listen to whatever band is playing. Sunday means an invite to Bri and Von’s for dinner (Von is a great cook 🙂 ). This week Tash (Von’s youngest daughter), and Bob were also there, so a fun afternoon was spent (Spurs played Blackburn in the football […]

    Long drives, flights and cuddly toys…

    Posted on by snee

    The Munich air show is on this week, and we (the boss and I) went yesterday. This entailed me getting up at 2am to drive to Gatwick airport for the flight, so a long day (I got home about 9pm). Weather out there was nice though (it generally is for the show), met a lot of people, and most importantly, got 3 cuddly toys (2 hippos for Kira and Carys, and a polar bear for Lisa – hence her comment on the post below). I seem to be traveling for work a lot now – looks like a trip to […]

    The herding instinct

    Posted on by snee

    So, as it was a bank holiday on Monday (a GENUINE one – not one of my ‘I thought it was’ jobbies), and Lisa didn’t have the kids, we decided on a day in sunny Bedford. Well, actually, we decided to go see a film, but got there really early so went for breakfast first (mmm…breakfast). This is where we ended up – and I must say it looks pretty good (so good in fact, that we decided to go back there for a meal sometime – but more about that later). On entering, we decided to both have a […]

    Where has the sun gone?

    Posted on by snee

    It’s been one of those weeks – Monday was SUPPOSED to have been fairly easy for me…just a smidgen of paperwork to do before my trip to Hahn on the Tuesday/Wednesday. I hadn’t figured in the Tim factor (AKA: fuck up factor) – as such I spent the day in the workshop trying to get the paperwork over there up to date, then making sure delivery notes etc. were all ready for stuff going out while I was away (I could have left it for Corina to do, but I like to be ahead in these things). After work, I […]

    Apparently I “move too quietly”

    Posted on by snee

    😐 Tuesday is steak night at the Gash (the local Wetherspoon), so Darren and I decided to go and eat some cow. A pleasant evening was had – lots of chatting while eating our cow-based meals, and a couple of pints were imbibed (it’s quite weird going out on a Tuesday night – you don’t want to drink too much ‘cos it’s not even halfway through the week*) Leaving relatively early, I arrived back at Lisa’s at about 9.30 or so and let myself in – this in itself is a relatively noisy affair, as my key tends to stick […]

    Spider hands, spider hands…

    Posted on by snee

    So, laying in bed last night, Lisa was rubbing my back, when she suddenly stopped, looked slightly worried, then dissolved in streams of laughter (and I’m talking STREAMS – tears were running down her face etc.) I finally got her to say what was up, and her reply? “I was rubbing your back, and saw my hand on your shoulder and thought it was a spider…” 😐 You just can’t make this stuff up… Been a long week: up to Prestwick on Tuesday to test and inspect all of their jacks/tooling while they’re on summer shutdown (the aircrafdt industry generally […]

    Another great weekend

    Posted on by snee

    Saturday was spent laying concrete at my mum’s (that would be Bob and me) in the hot sun – at least we had a mixer this time (good job too, we used 1 tonne of ballast!). Got most of it done now, just a little bit more to do next weekend. Mum fed us too – woop, woop! Sunday I went to London with Lisa and the girls (Carys and Kira). Was a lovely day wandering about, visiting The Clink and SeaLife. Kira winds her mum up by saying “I’m hers” – here’s the pictorial proof: Heh… EDIT: I changed […]
