Day one on leave

-
Setting sale for the Island from Portsmouth, gotta say this is the worst port to use to get to the Island. Traffic is always a killer, lots of delays and stopping in the mid noon heat. Yes, heat! It's unusual to have that stuff in a British summer :-) I know I always mention the weather, always have. It's all good though, loving this year, rain and all. Pleased to be getting on my holiday though. Looking forward to cycling, messing around on the beach and of course a trip to the pier. How very exciting, I hear you say. Well, not really the pier has been the same for about seven years. There's still a dirty den fruit machine.

I was gonna bring my Windsurfer but poor Callum looked so sad with all that stuff on his roof, maybe next time. Tonight I'm off to see Cowes week fire works and of course have a few beers. Tomorrow a swim and look to do something I've never done or go somewhere I've never been.

Good news as well today, Caroline, my Vdub is going into paint next week. A couple of weeks she'll be home and ready for kitting out for many Camper Van adventures. Camper Van crisis nearly over, I can't wait to get her back. I've lost the summer of this year, not a problem though there's plenty more time and next year of course. It should get me away from the Discovery channel. I do love a bit of auction wars...

 Anyways that's it for now, more updates from IOW to come :-)

A trip for work.

I thought I'd make an entry for my Blog today, doing it in multiple bits. Early start, up at five making my way over to the ferry. Travelling up to Reading today to see Richard for work. Bought myself a new multi save ticket which means that I don't have to pay the extortionate levels of price the ferries can charge. That's highly recommended if you live on the Island. Arrived in Portsmouth and the sun was blazing. For a travel up to Reading let's see what the traffic is like. I imagine it's pretty busy, yes it was pretty busy. On the way back down it wasn't too bad, lots of folks around for the D Day commemoration at South Sea, lots of boats out here too. Had a good stop off after work seeing my Grand Babies, Daughter in Law, and Son number 1 in Thatcham. Hannah made the tea and I got to cuddle. Top ending to a pretty good day. On the boat at the moment writing this. Waiting to set off for the Island. It's a happy boat. They always are on the way to ...

Thought I'd try this again

  From time to time I think about writing more and then something stops me. I began this blog a long time ago with great intentions to record the things I do, for me to read, not you, sorry. But you see I'm that kind of person that doesn't mind rambling away here and sharing. I can only imagine how boring this is to other people. It serves a purpose for me though, writing things down off loads them from my mind. You see what I'm doing here, I'm resoning why I'm typing this out. Just realised I'm typing this and not even looking at the keyboard too, now that's new. I'm a touch typist! Of sorts, backspace seems to feature a lot. Why start writing again? When I did life was more interesting, the more I did the more I wrote. There are nearly 400 entries on this blog, lots of great memories for me. some not so great memories. There are a number of posts that are not published. I can see why I didn't publish them and don't think that I ever will. They ...

Grandson Number 3.

Welcome to the world Ruben Hemingway Bullock. Born 29th July 2024, he's doing well and Mum and Dad are happy for their new arrival. Ruben is my fourth Grand Child and the son of my youngest, they grow up fast these kids do. They're leaving home and setting up by themselves in no time.  Lots of happiness ahead, you really do forget about the sleepless nights, 1:00a.m feed me calls and walks with the pushchair in the night to get them off to sleep. It's what it's all about. So I wonder what plans there are for Ruben, the world he's come into is changing, not always for the better in my opinion, but we have to embrace change and make them positive making the best of what we have. AI around the corner, I'm looking forward to having a robot around the house. Ruben will know no different, technology will be front and centre.  He's lucky to have some clever people around him to help him along the way. His uncles, aunts, grand parents and of course his parents. What...
