Christmas Hangovers, New Year Next
It's been a bit quiet in here over the last couple of days. Are we all nursing Christmas hangovers:freak3:
What's everyone up to over New Year. Me quiet night in with a few mates, avoids babysitter worries, and then off to a wedding on 2nd Jan. Back to work on the 7th:cry: |
It has been quiet in here? Im already back at work but its dead quiet, all I seem to have done for the last couple of weeks is drink & eat!! For xmas lunch went to that new hotel in Bushey/Watford called The Village, great bar/reataurant etc. New years is gona be a tame affair at wifes sisters house with kids & inlaws!!
On the Scooby front: I washed it last week in near freezing temperatures!; still waiting for my Muteki lug nuts; battery's almost completely finished so had to order the Odyssey PC680 today at £90 :( ; & for the first time in my life own a car thats gone up in value due to yen/sterling exchange rates!!! :lol1: |

Willows Farm Village
The best place to take the things in the surrounding area IMO, there is just so much to see & do for the kids. Though try & go when its not raining as a lot of the activities are outdoor. |

Oh, and my last half marathon was just under 1 hr 36 mins, but Peterborough is quite flat. I have a Garmin GPS watch, so my 13.1miles around the Bushey, Watford & Harrow hills was a fraction over 1 hr 39 mins last Sunday.
|
That's pretty impressive Jon- What time are you aiming for at the Watford 1/2?
|
To break through 1 hr 35 will be a new PB, but as close to 1 hr 30 as possible.
|
Jesus!!! Good luck with that! I did the Ricky in 1h 9mins this year, have done it quicker in the past, god only knows how you knock out 13 miles, you're a brave man! :)

lots of food and beer for me . went to the gym today though , which was a step towards being fit again .
cars filthy getting washed tomorrow and i may even hoover it lol :D |
I took the front wheels off this afternoon and washed them - white wheels look great but they are a right PITA to keep clean. Lots of scrubbing and three more coats of poorboys. Gunks one of the wishbones and some stuff inside the wheel arch while I was there but gave up after one arch. I'll do it again when I strip the suspension down to do the bushes when it gets warmer.
Do the rear wheels and the rest of the car tomorrow once the drive de-frosts. |
same for me here
cleaning car all day trying to get it ready for the autosport show at nec wheels come off tomorrow my hands still smell of polish budgie btw, cant get my time below 3 minutes 2 minutes spent telling jackie its worth her while getting the beer on the red wine at the moment, bottle next to the sofa;) |
