So cards behind the bar.

In memory of a great friend I'll have a jd and coke.

Life of leisure, hmmm I wish. I can now get on with the rest of our house, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom with the redecoration of the kitchen and dining room and the fitting of an oak floor downstairs.
After that I have a 3 bedroom flat to rip apart as well as finding 2 days a week for voluntary work for a pair of hospitals.
Not going to be dull I think LOL. :smt003

I am looking forward though to planing a trip to Assen next year for the MotoGP as and when the tickets become available.
Oh and grape picking season in Croatia next September lol, that will be a cheap holiday as we won't be paying for any accommodation.
