Raining yet again

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NO.1 son 40 today and no doubt already bladdered.

Last evening we met up with our friend from Spain her friend lives 10 minutes from here so that was handy. We met at the Lord Clyde pub which is a short walk from bridge 29 although not in the books. It is only a small place but the food looked good, expensive though. We plan to get the bus this afternoon once qualifying has finished (got to get your priorities right).
Was woken in the night by the rain on the roof, must say I love it when you can hear the rain and you are all nice and cosy inside. This rain has continued on and off throughout the day so no doubt we will get soaked while we are out, will just have to light the fire when we get back. Have been lazy today Paul has done a bit of tidying his tools and stuff but as we are staying here till Monday I can do a bit tomorrow.
Paul has a friend who works in Manchester and we are hoping to hear from him Monday evening and hopefully he can come and find us wherever we are on Tuesday. Will be nice for Paul to have some male company to chat with about engines and boats (boring). Understand Gypsy Rover is in front of us and heading for Whaley Bridge we will probably pass somewhere I hope so will be nice to make their acquaintance.
