Ewe wouldn't believe it!

The temperature has really dropped today and the snow has started to fall. It has been falling for about 2 hours steadily at work and it looks like it may have set in. Tomorow we will probably wake up to a white landscape.

Goo goo dolls

Last night we went off to Bristol to see the Goo Goo Dolls. We had been very slack months ago when the tickets originally came out, but very lucky last week when we were able to get a couple of tickets from Ebay, and at cost price as well. We hit a bit of traffic on the way into Bristol but arrived with plenty of time and also managed to catch the whole of the intro band, I even managed to catch a beach ball which they threw into the crowd. We later cashed the ball in for a free CD.
When goo goo dolls came on later, the crowd went crazy especially when they played some of their most popular songs, including Iris, Name and also Broadway lights. I was really suprised when the band introduced one of their first hits which was over 15 years old. A great fun night and only a bit tired today.

Foggy day.

The dog was quite thick this morning and for the second day in a row I had to clear the ice from my windscreen. It was nearly ten o'clock before the fog finally lifted and I saw this interesting sight. The windmills looked eerie jutting out above the fog, not spinning, standing stock still in the landscape. After I looked a little further I noticed one without its wings and another weirdly spinning in the still air.

Rally Wales

Went and looked at the rally stage that was supposed to be around the bay, but didn't really get to see much at all. There were however a few of the cars parked around so that we could have a look. Sebastian Loeb, the current champion, had a car down there. It was real cool, we got to have a look around the car but we couldn't get in, which was a shame. Today however we passed all the cars coming back from the special stage. We even saw Loeb's car again.

Baack at home

After a week working away from home in Leicester I am finally home. Basically planning management decided to send 14 fitters away to work out of head office for the week and to accompany them, so as to not place too much burden upon the leicester staff, I was also sent along. The week started a bit hectic and not much was done but as the week progressed we got a bit more organised and the end of the week came around quite fast. I have enormuos respect for anybody that week in wee out works from a hotel room as it was quite boring. Work, back to the hotel, have a shower, get dinner, sit around for a couple of drinks then it is ten o'clock and time I went to bed. I am glad that the wee is over.
