    That's always great fun, but can be a time waster LOL

    No flying as such for me today. We are driving the boys back to the big smoke - about a 7 1/2 hour round trip. I'm up early doing the grocery list for tomorrow, washing OHs work clothes so he has something to wear tomorrow, putting some CDs in the car etc etc. Oh, and checking the boards :rolleyes:

    Will be back on deck fully tomorrow - I hope ;)

    Very true! Some of the stuff on tape will probably not be watchable as it was taped on other machines and may struggle to track properly on this VCR so that will cut some of the tapes out of the loop straight away. Have found some of Hamish MacBeth to watch :cool:

    I'm exhausted and have a headache (so do two DS) Managed to fix the hurdle fences and I am so proud of myselft. My arms are scratched to bits as I was silly and wore a t-shirt.

    Need to find my list to update for tomorrow.
