Has everyone had a nice Bank Holiday then?

[Leon]

The sun was shining (kinda), there was bugger all on the tellybox, so did everyone get out and enjoy the last Bank Holiday of the year? 



And don't forget, it's only 118 days until Xmas... 

[mijalo]

Well, not really as I'm Korea and Monday meant work
However today (Tuesday) was a dayoff due to the worst typhoon in a decade hitting the peninsula.
All I can say is that thankfully I could catch up on study (and a wee bit of paintwork), and when I did have to venture out, at least there's not much left up-top to get blown off.

Wet day at home with the youngest, while the in-laws took the eldest shopping! I started a division of 1870 Prussians and today...



LEGOLAND!

Absolutely wonderful thank you Leon.

Spent four hours canoeing 32kms between Argentat and Beaulieu down the Dordogne with my son in 32 degree temperature. The Kronenbourg in Beaulieu went down rather well at the end.

Or digging a couple of 'trenches' to get rid of excess rain around the barn when your back says "**** off"

[barbarian]

A WUT ?

[Techno]

Oh....All right....Two shallow ditches to drain the water away.
Still made my back moan like you know what !!

[nikharwood]

Yep - nice & relaxing (mostly) - dogs walked, kids played, reading done, touch of painting & then some jumping practice for the girls:








...and grooving practice for the boy 


That's why I work...

What's on the ground ?
Rubber bits to make them bounce if they fall ?

Yep - silica sand arena covered in shredded rubber...it helps with impact [both for horse & falling riders!] and helps make the arena all-weather.

It's here: http://www.stocklandlovell.com/ which is about 20 miles from where we are.

Olympics 2016?

[FierceKitty]

It wasn't a holiday in Bangkok either. But if the rain continues, we'll probably get another two-month enforced break in work soon (as we did last year).
But Tuesday is always a day off for me, and the Zulus are coming along well.

Maybe...more likely 2020 though I reckon
