Walkies time after the rain

Well they were right about the this mornings weather forecast as it bucketed down and with strong winds, not what we expected . So we spent some looking at routes to include interesting towns on our departure at the end of next week and now have a pretty good idea what we will do.

Noel caught up on the blogging and emails etc whilst Jennifer continued research on nice towns to visit. We have planned for our late afternoon dinner and mixture of salmon, cod and prawns on rice and decided that perhaps a walk would do us good and if we go to the end of the road we could also have a beer at the Shack.


So we unloaded Noels new toy a Mobile Mini which would allow a much longer walk and when passing the Shack the car park seemed very quiet and then we discovered that it was closed due to inclement weather. 

What a shame, However we were able to do a long walk for Jennifer with Noel on his racing car and we were able to quite a distance which would not have been possible if Noel was using just his legs.

We returned to the apartment and read for an hour or so before dinner and then in the evening watched the Liverpool vs Everton game which was also quite good and as I don't personally support either team its easier to enjoy. Liverpool finally one 1-0 but Everton put on a good show in the first half but were pretty much penned in for the second half although earlier they did have a goal cancelled due to offside, which was shame.

We are looking forward to the Chelsea game tomorrow night against the Spurs and also the Japanese F1 this weekend so should be good few days although the weather forecast for next few day is very poor with more heavy rain expected. Apparently this is the wettest March for many a year and we chose to come here, the same happed to us France the year before last. Anyway I blame the UK Government who in a recent poll was found to be severely lacking in support, inf fact the country thanks to stupid politician is in such a state if it were an animal it would be put down to save any further damage. People complain about Trump but it will be good after several years to see if his approach as a businessman is better than cheating politicians.

Ah well, time for bed
