well that was the week that was

This week has gone sooo quickly.

I hav'nt had time to sit or do this, it just seems to have been a big rush.

Everything is upsidedown at work, there are workers everywhere moving machines and installing new one's.

There are 2 very nice German blokes here fitting the New Shotblaster and I am trying to brush up on my German and they too are getting to know how to speak English better.

they made me laugh the other day when one of them said whilst working on the machine
"alle Scheiße" I understood him straight away.

On Wednesday we travelled up to Leeds for middle son's graduation what a bloody long day running around from pillar to post photographs here and there the ceremony and at last he got his degree A first in phyics with astro phyics.
I would say all his hard work has payed off and that will set him up for a lifetime.

Well done middle son you are a credit to yourself and all your family.

We had some drinks and D and I went to our hotel, well I know Leeds and knew it wasn't in the best part of town but at least it would be a bed for the night and the view was amazing






yes thats Leeds alright
not something you want to write home about
can you just imagine
(what was Leeds like? well shite really)




Any way enough of the good stuff we got up early the day after and turned down the offer of continental breakfast for £6 each and traveled down the M1 and turned off to visit Holmfirth where they film The last of the Summer Wine, we had a bloody good english breakfast there for about £5 each and that set us up for the day.

We travelled home slower than normal and got home at about 12. 30 it was a glorious day and we stayed in the garden and I made some pimms we didn't have the proper stuff so I improvised 2 pints of lemonade a quarter of a bottle of vodka some fresh fruit some brandy, orange squash and ice, after we drank that, we did'nt care much about anything.


Then only one day left and its the weekend again not so sunny today but very warm and muggy
