On Her Majestys Secret Service
Don’t you just love it when service is like it should be ?We both bank with Santander and today after visiting our branch to see the manager (how often can you say you see the manager?) we came away happy…
Lost In Space
The other day whilst trying to get maps for my Garmin satellite navigation box (actually, its just a hand held GPS) I updated the firmware using the Garmin online updater. It managed to kill it completely. I did everything to…
X Men
Contrary to popular belief we did not come back to the UK to watch X Factor although since my mother is an addict we have had to watch it….Can’t wait to be back in the Land Rover with no TV…..
Three Feet High And Rising
On Tuesday we went to see our niece Jessica at Newcastle uni. Shes only been there for two weeks so we just missed her when we came home. Thankfully we still get free rail travel so we went for a…
Over The Hedge
So today we went home for a looksee. Its still there which is pretty amazing considering. We spent the entire day cleaning up and cutting the overgrown hedge, mowing grass and starting our cars. The cars have be stationary for…
Schindlers List
As were at home we’d thought we’d make my life hell for the entire duration so the film title works on two levels….. Our ever growing list of things I need to do isn’t getting any shorter. One list item was…
Leaving Las Vegas
Quite out of character we seem to have eaten and drunk large quantities of food and alcohol since we got home on Holiday. Those that know us will be unfamiliar with this as we are normally so reserved…Last night having…
Final Destination
No we’ve not finished the trip quite yet but as I said were almost there with one continent. Our Carnet de Passage (“vehicle passport”) runs out in a month so this means today my Mum is waiting for a very special delivery that means…
Deception
So after a few days of missdirection we’ve arrived home for a visit. Suprising Sister, Mother, Father and Grandmother in the process as we didn’t tell many people. So if you feel the need to contact us, we’re back for…
Total Recall
Yes it was the same film. Worth a watch, not really. So today we went shopping and also to see a film. What we watched is a remake of the Arnie fest with the popping eyes. Would it have been…
Cape Fear
They thought we’d never leave…….Almost a week of madness and generosity staying at Des and Hennie’s. We’ve got a refurbished transfer box with a new sleeved Intermediate shaft. I know the Land Rover fans reading this will be jealous! Its…
Room With A View
So here we are in Cape Town having spent a night with the Langebaan Sunset team who drove to their new home a year or so ago all the way from the UK. Nick and Vicki looked after us very well…
Catwoman
Now i’m a bit partial to a rubber dress or catsuit but this has to be one of the worst movies ever. Not only is the actress in question,,,,, (literally),,,STOP….Theres no point in saying any more. She was better in…
The Waterboy
More waterfalls and more tenuous links to dodgy films….Yes we could smell the flowers. Quite nice actually. They also follow the sun so if you get on the right side of them they are quite bright as you can see.…
Momento
A few photos from the last few days.
