General pottering and family related stuff ensued the remainder of the week and getting ready for the big trip later on next month to France…going camping in style and we’re getting very very excited !! Mrs. B and I used to go camping years ago B.B. (Before Babies) and had loads of fun – still have the tent actually – we’re thinking something marginally bigger may be in order this time ! What else…oh yeah the facebook phenomenon has finally caught up with me. And I’ve found friends from school nearly 25 years since last we spoke…gulp ! Amazing to see where people have ended up from the dismal and dreich depths of south lanarkshire ?! There’s still a few I’ve yet to track down but they’re either in disguise or keeping an incredibly low profile ! Someone knows where Bongy and Rod McPherson are these days ?!

Oh and first week back hitting the bike for the commute – the bypass round Edina’s a joke, they’ve dug up Sherriffhall r/about and the dalkeith bypass is nearly complete – makes me want to cry – what a mess ?! Still 20mls a day on the bike and not pumping car fumes into the atmos = happy old me. wow…I haven’t done this in ages !? Amazing how good some sleep can make you feel !?

Having a tough time getting my @rse in gear and doing much exercise…time for a change I think !
