Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top

Halfway through the British Tour and a few days of relative calm in Robin 'ood country after having taken in, variously, Llanhennock, Cardiff, the Peak District and Alton Towers.
I'd never really seen much of the Peak District before but on a sunny summer's day it really is quite breathtaking. Lovely.
The weather has been a bit hit-or-miss but nothing too horrendous.
Everything has changed in my absence of course. I really like all the changes in Cardiff. A completely new shopping/pedestrianised area has sprung up since my last visit. The Hayes has been altered beyond recognition almost, but it looks good. The whole balance of the city has shifted, as always happens - areas that were once in the centre of things have now moved to the outskirts, with shops moving out to the new areas.
It's nice to travel around, remembering what I miss about my old fatherland. Visits to supermarkets are full of exciting new things to buy...
Now, if only I can stop eating/drinking continuously...

I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor...if you haven't then you know you really oughtta

Today was one of the good days.
Beautiful and sunny. This morning was a question of cutting the lawn, getting slightly hot and bothered, diving into the lake, going back to grass-cutting, swimming and so forth.
Days like these can be numbered on one or several hands during the year. Lovely.
The smell of the lake as you come up for air after diving in is a very special thing, felt more than smelt.
Actually managed a lie-in of sorts too - fancy that.
Quarter finals of the World Cup. A truly magnificent display from the Germans utterly destroyed the much-vaunted Argentinians. Impossible not to admire.
Five weeks r'n'r coming up. Bring it!
