You might be able to purchase a kayak second hand. .... Somebody who's kayaked for years will know what faults to look for and check.

If suitable, I'd fancy an inflatable one as that makes it more doable/portable. I've read forums and seen videos of how you get them onto a car roof rack .... and, it's generally considered that: women alone struggle, short people can hardly manage, it's not really ideal for one. As I am an unfit, 5' tall, lone female ... who is cack-handed, weak, feeble and useless... it's a recipe for disaster.

So, all in all, an inflatable one would best work for me.....

Even the videos of one person doing it alone were young, fit, strong/muscley people ... with the car rigged with ropework to get it up there on their own .... in the dry/sunshine, with lots of space around them ... and lots of practice behind them.

That's going to be a long day alone....

You lot should have all moved closer!!

We can at least try to be online if Spirit can't assist

I spent the day at work! Left a bit early to pick the key up from the EA's house (he lives 5 mins walk away) - it was in his porch (hidden and unlabelled). So I didn't even get a 'handover'. That was an anticlimax and a half! At least work was a bit of a distraction (although I'm not sure I was very productive that day, at least there were people around).

DW9000s are good pedals. Other half uses Tricks as they suit his playing style more.

Will keep watching him and wishing him luck for the future.

Are you musical too tahlullah? I always think percussionists must be easy to live with in many ways. Good multitaskers.

Kiwi hates the sax. When DH plays he goes and sits by him, throws his head back and wails, and wails, and wails. Its very sad.

Generally he likes music though, he likes dancing anyway.

You decide.

Came on here to show my righteous indignation at Suarez but now can't stop laughing at michaels's story.

At least Suarez bit the only person on the pitch who is a bigger tool than he is. I reckon a one season ban.

I think the view from my patio is the neighbour's lavatory window
