Things ive learnt.................17th July

The internet and anything technological is a pain.
We have tried two different sim cards and three trips to Burton and still we have no internet.

I now can find my way to and from Burton with ease.
Thanks to need of sim cards etc, ive learnt the way to and from burton with ease.

It is more than a "quick trip" to leicester on a friday afternoon during a peak hour.
At 4.45 on Friday, we (in our wisdom) decided to "nip down" to Leicester to have a look at a car, Keith had organised a game of 5 aside for 7pm so, there should be no problem right? Oh yes but, it was peak hour wasnt it and hmmm rain... yes.. in England... who wouldve thought it.

You can buy a car, in the pouring rain, from a dealer in a back street, in under 15 minutes.
so we arrive at this little back yard dealer, wheres the car?... oh yes, the car.. its "round the corner", we dive into this fellas little car and get taken to a disused warehouse where the car is parked... still its pouring, we glance at the oitside of the car as we dive inside to get out of the rain... ok yes.. it goes... it doesnt appear to burst into flames... and it is lovely... SOLD!!


5 a side football on fake grass in a cage is loads of fun.
Football is due to kick off at 7pm... it has taken us until 6.25 to get to Leicester and put the deposit on the car, the sat Nav tells us its a 40 minute trip to Ashby... and... the football is 7-8 minutes from there... this doesnt really sound to good, we make great time however and arrive at Ashby at 6.59, Gill ever so kindly leads me to the football and a wonderful time was had.
