I've got some work to do, except I can do it at home. Just can't be arsed.

Since leaving uni, I thought "yes! no more exams ruining my summer!" (havin had exams every summer since I was ten). Clearly I wasn't thinking straight.

Apart from going into town this morning and a 10-minute wander around my garden I've stayed indoors with the windows open. I don't like sunbathing etc - Too hot and uncomfortable. And although I'm only 2 miles away from the sea I hardly ever visit it. I prefer the breeze in the shade and hearing the birds sing in the trees. Love sunshine but not full-on hot sun particularly.

Had a fantastic day out at the BMW PGA Championship today at Wentworth.

Lovely weather.  Watched Monty (Colin Montgomerie) play some fantastic and some pretty awful golf.  Always a good watch round a course.  A young lad must have said something to him after the 4th hole and the next i saw Monty's eyes turned red and there were then some heated exchanges.  Needless to say it didn't come to anything but that's about as close as it gets to a punch up in Golf.  :wink:

Really enjoyed the day out.  Great chance to walk through the car parks and take a gander at the cars.  Saw a lovely Ferrari F430 in Grey, a BMW M3 in white with gloss black wheels and the pretty rare Lexus IS-F.

The young English lad, Chris Wood, is leading after 3 rounds.  Come on Woodsy!!!  :jumping:

Reckon I might clean my car today. Or try to get my bike started. Now I'm free from exams, I can go outside without feeling guilty  :rolleye:


Mind you, this weather makes a Boxter Spyder worth it. I was at Porsche Centre Guildford yesterday and had a good look at the one they have there... I think it looks stunning, and I quite like that tent-for-a-roof. £50k or so...

Just cleaned the car outside and waxed the car in my mini garage!

Nice and sparkly again and a quick run out beforehand reveals that the R1R's are great.

Time for a few icy jars of stella and a chill in the back garden me thinks :drinking:

Only 7 days before I go back to work  :P

Lake District here I come!! :driver:

You heading to the lakes in the ed30 hurdy? Nice roads there.

I have spent the week at work but outside and the weekend at home inside (madness i know) but i did have a quick outing in the GTI yesterday and loved it, makes you appreciate a hot road surface and sticky tyres!

It's only 25 degrees here but we have the sea breeze to keep it a little cooler.

Not a cloud in sight though. Just been for a good hike with the wife and the dog who is now panting like hell (the dog that is not the wife that's later  :wink: )

I've been on nights all weekend and it's been a nightmare trying to sleep during the day......window shut = too hot and window open = too noisy.  As a result I've got by on minimal sleep this weekend and now have a sore throat to add to it. :fighting:
