Bank Holiday weekend - How will you spend yours??
« on: April 30, 2004, 15:52:17 »
Just want to wish all you mudders a good weekend, my time will be filled to the brim I think.

Driving lessons Saturday from 9.00 til 5.00

Brierfield Sunday off roading :D

And more DIY in the garage on Monday

Hardly room for a pint and a butty!! :)

I might even be glad to be back at work Tuesday (I only said MIGHT!!)

Enjoy  :wink:
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!

Unfortunately I will not see much mud this weekend.

I will be languishing around the pool drinking the odd beer in what will hopefully be glorious weather.  You just gotta love expenses  :lol:

Have a good weekend all . . . .

See some of you on the 16th hopefully.

If the weather's right I'll be finishing off the work on my Disco as I can't drive for another couple of weeks. Hopefully it'll all be finished in time and I can get it muddy.

hmm hang on

i think its called maspalomas or something

the downside is that the flight leaves at 7am monday morning so have to be in manchester airport by 5 (only 25mins from home)

gonna be an early night on sunday..

rather have an early flight than a late one with the little one going too. cos he's a [!Expletive Deleted!] to get to sleep.!

Quite nice in Maspalomas. We used to go to a restaurant there called Bronchimar in Faro II shopping centre. The food was great, Fillet Mignon, mmhhh, lip smacking good

Enjoy the sun and watch out for that midday heat, it burns but not so you notice with the breeze.

If you are taking any yound children, keep em well out of it and take a siesta when the locals do :D

cheers robbie thanks for the advice


yeh the little one is going

ive only been burnt proper.. once

it was on a poolside in sri lanka

i think it was 35 or 40 degree heat but cos i was in the cool pool i didnt notice..

till i had to fly to thailand and was itching like mad

was worse when had to fly home to heathrow (14hr flight) cos i couldnt sit still

i think i drove my wife nuts at that point cos i got a bruised rib or two

Ouch, yeeh I have seen some terrible tomatoes in the Canaries, not nice.

Plenty of liquid (I like that excuse anyway..) and sunblock for the kids. I think we used the highest factor there was and then slept in the afternoons when the locals did, that way we had the time to stay up later with the kids and tire them out for the evening :)

ave fun and lets see the piccies when you get back... :D

Dyf,

If I were you I'd get some total block (factor loads) for the little one.  Wouldn't want to risk anything while on holiday  :?

Needed some of it myself the first time I was here in Delhi (it's currrently 40 degrees plus, but I'm getting used to it)

Have a good time away
