Last Weekends Surfing

Last week end me and my brother, took off down to Devon to get a bit of surfing in. Usually there are quite a few of us who go, but this year, due to weddings, weather, work commitments and holidays, the turn out was pretty low.

As you can see, the weather wasn't exactly great this year either! I have a brilliant knack of picking the worst weekend to go - this I certainly didn't disappoint...

Anyway, we got the tent up in good time, after fixing some of the poles, and I think this was probably the best the tent as ever been put up!
















Every year, it always rains, and invariably, the tent lets water in (well it does in force 9 gales and horizontal rain) so this year I decided to pack my camp bed - much more comfy that sleeping on a deflated airbed and in a puddle (and no, not a puddle of piss!)
















Mongy came well stocked with Cider from the Brandy Wharf centre in Waddingham




















As you can see from this picture, the chimnea was well stocked with combustibles :-)





















On Saturday we went to Woolacombe to surf. The waves were the best I have seen them in a long time, and we spent about 3 hours in the sea, catching the pipelines :-) It utterly pissed it down, but as we were in the sea, it didnt really matter...by evening time, it became quite pleasant, and we hit the bar for happy hour.

Saturday night/Sunday morning was a bit windy - I would estimate around about force 8! So by 9:30, we had packed up and headed off home. Next year, I am determined to pick a decent weekend!

Away

I've been working in Broughton this week, hence the lack of writing. It comes to something when work gets in the way of writing ones blog!

Anyway, Me and Mongy went surfing last weekend, so I have that to write about and post pics...so when I get home I'll post more - I promise!

I Got Sent This

I was sent this from a respectable mother and daughter, who shan't remain nameless! It was spotted in a DIY store. The daughter was shocked that her mother actually laughed at it, instead of being offended!

Don't worry Barbara and Helen, no one will know it was you :-D

A Round Up

Well, last weekend, I managed to get both my front and side doors on. I say *I managed*, but it was more of a team effort. Martin came over from work on Friday night to give me a hand with the front door, and Carol helped me finish it off on Saturday, and then we put the side door on.

Carol has infinitly more patience than I do :-) She is also miles better at DIY/practical stuff too. Well, anyway, the only thing I have left to do now is finish the roof off (ridge tiles) Don't worry, I'll be holding the ladder as she climbs on the roof :-D

I have pictures, which I will post as soon as I get them off my phone.

Also, Im going down to Devon this weekend to go surfing. There are a few of us going, but not as many as in previous years :-( Im really looking forward to it though - hopefully the weather should be reasonable - fingers crossed...

Doors

My garage door turns up tomorrow! I can't wait :-)

Eddies Elegant Cocks

Had a BBQ on Saturday night with some mates. Eddy has recently been to Maritius and brought back some mosquito repellant coils.

As you can see from the name of the product, I think something may have been lost in translation!














The buy one get one free cracked me up too :-)
