Legoland

Just on our way home from Legoland with my borrowed child. Has been a lovely, hot, day.

The rides were good, the new model of Cape Canaverel was very impressively detailed - even if it was not worth waiting for the count down as all that happened was steam! I came away from the shop really wanting a Lego chess set, but instead got another new keyring (they do not last - arms and legs fall off) and some magnets. I wish I lived closer so I could justify the annual pass, but then also I do not have the loan child available on demand either.

Decontamination suits

Tonight at St John we had a play with Wiltshire Ambulance's decontamination suits.

Hard to get on, hard to get off, very hot, but good to know about.

Supper of kings

Six scotch pancakes with Marmite and cheese, followed by two Balsamic pickled onions.

Moving story.

My life is finally out of storage. I have just sent the day driving the largest van in the world, and along with m'friends Andy and Mike we have moved a load from Guildford to the flat, via Ikea where I bought a new Wardrobe, chest of draws, tables and bits and bobs. It was a long day, so rather than sort everything out now, I have left it all to finish another day. I just hope I will be able to find the legs for my settee and my iron!

Google Toolbar for Firefox

New to me, the Google toolbar for Firefox - including Firefox for OS X! Woo hoo.

Flat purchase complete

It is official, I am back in the world of the home owner. We completed on my flat purchase a couple of hours ago, and I have just moved a few things in, all seems good. Only a spot of double glazing condensation to worry about - not something I saw when viewing - and a lick of paint would be nice, as well as some new flooring, but nothing desperate. I will be getting the rest in next week, and then I need to go to Ikea.

Theory test.

Motorcycle theory test passed, multiple choice questions scored 34/35 and hazard perception test scored 51/75. The only preparation I have done is 3 years' car and 2 years' motorcycle experience. I even got the "priority over oncoming vehicles" sign for the traffick calming thing right, and I never know that normally.
