Yes, but what a glorious way to drive there. My colleague has a Mustang, which he drives on sunny days, I'm very envious

I used to love going out in it. But he also took me out in the plane too. I was never allowed to drive the car, I did get to fly the Piper.

Back from Germany without hitting the epic traffic we got stuck in on the way down. Also straight on the Eurotunnel without delay.

Hearing a friend had been diagnosed with cancer................

















But they caught it in time, so she'd been given the all clear after the tumour had been removed.
She's still got to go through the radiotherapy, but its better than it being found out much later.

Fed up with shizz happening this year, so a positive post for a change.

Thirty eight years ago on a Saturday in May, a few mates from the band dropped by and on a whim we went to see the new Star Wars movie that had just debuted.
Fast forward to today.
I mentioned to the Mrs. that the new Star Wars movie had debuted at our small local theatre this week
and on a whim we were off to see it.
We had a great time
Two Smiles old memories and new.
May the force be with you!
