Cheery as
It's been a great week for me, whole week off work, there seem to be a few of us with anniversaries and birthdays at the moment, so it's been pressies, lots and lots of treat food, a slate tastic trip up to Snowdonia with the zip line, quarry walk and lake swim, followed by some r and r at home, an aquathlon last night, now more r and r and still the weekend to look forward to

How could you not go? I'm sure there's plenty of good reasons but c'mon man, the States is an experience not to be missed IMO (you might have already been, apologies if so ).

I don't think I'd want to pootle around Wales with 5000hp on tap and those skinny tyres.

*for anyone interested, it's a heavily modified Roadster producing around 5000hp. It currently holds the class record but they're looking to break 350mph this year with it. For anyone not interested, sorry.
What an opportunity... Go for it...

A day of two halves:
A funeral of a friend who died last week of cancer.
We're off to Scotland for a week (or maybe a bit more)

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Totally premature here but I hope I can be forgiven as both tomorrow and Friday are bank holidays ... Anyway, I've just been notified that project Death Trap has won 'Best Engineering' in the first round of the Backstreet Heroes custom awards and is therefor guaranteed a place in the final. It's even more surprising given that I hadn't really realised I'd entered anything but I get a trophy and everything

To celebrate Fri'nesday, today I found some money behind the sofa and ordered a new TPU self bailer white water light weight packraft that can be converted to be used on flat water too.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Nice one Stu
Another one John?! I need a better sofa They look really good though. I know Emma's just bought one but I haven't seen it yet. Hope you get out on it over the weekend, should be some water around from this week's rain.
I'm the last person to get involved in any sort of royal nonsense, but Seamus here cheered me up, and might Stu too
Will remember that one

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
My eldest boy (4 and a half) took up riding a pedal bike this week, and he's doing brilliantly! He's been on a balance bike since 2 and has just transitioned to a pedal bike with no stabilisers, and is already turning in the road well and using the brakes when needed. proud moment for me and a big milestone for him, he's super chuffed

Ref the dry suit
No, I'm glad I did sell it.
After trying a bit better quality one I realised that mine was cheap for a reason.
It was only good when the air temps were below 5 degrees and it wasn't breathable as better ones and over 5 degrees it was like a boil in the bag sauna suit.
Next pocket money spend will be a range topping dry suit. But until then I'm only planning to padde WW in warmer temps with my wet suit, and flat waters in winter wrapped up well until I can afford the right dry suit for me
