Lots of watery fun



















We went to Wells on Thursday, and the weather was fairly good, but the tide was right out so we couldn't reach the sea without an epic trek, so we made do with splashing about in pools in the sand. Sarah was excited when she found out her Crocs floated, so we had a Crocs race, and I lost. We popped in to see my folks and then we went and did something secret somewhere else.

The next day was our fifth wedding anniversary so we decided to go swimming at the Splash pool in Sheringham. I went on the flume a lot, and hit an insane 13.86 MPH - nose bleed! The wave machine was switched to "Tsunami" until the boss came back and they switched it to "Ripple" setting - boo!

Today we went to Briston Church Fete, it pissed down, so we squeezed into the overcrowded hall. Got to the cake stall early and bought a ginger cake - num! Then we went home.

I'm on a roll!


We went to Cambridge yesterday, but we didn't leave till 2:30PM and we stopped at Little Chef, so we didn't get to the park and ride till after four, and we had minimum shopping time.

I bought a vinyl album in Fopp, and I thought it was the Barbarella soundtrack album, but when I got it home, I realised it was a repressing of a tacky sixties Pickwick Records cover album, with tunes from Barbarella and some other random tunes done in a lounge-core style. Apparently it is quite a cheese classic, despite my initial disappointment. (It's not even Jane Fonda on the cover!).

Some Samples Here

I wish I'd bought the Banana Splits album now.

Went to my brother's afterwards and he made us baked potatoes and forced us to drink his home made elderflower champagne. It was very tasty.

Watched the Robot Chicken Star Wars Special this morning, it was funny.

My Bi-annual Post


Hello,

I went to Yorkshire and saw some stuff, but it rained.

Then we came home and we saw Karen and Simon and went to see rescued animals and we rented out a turkey called Tessa.

On Monday I got my hair cut, and now I look like I'm in Busted.

We went to see Pirates of The Carribean: At Worlds End, it was very odd, and I kept nodding off, but the big fight at the end was cool.

I am watching the six hour TV mini-series of Stephen King's The Stand, pretty good but it's not as good as the book.

I bought a game, it is Shadow of The Colussus, you have to fight big... errr... colossi

Bye!
