Curious Ideas..... that can help you get ahead!

We’ve had rain on and off for a couple of weeks now, but yesterday, we had glorious sunshine.... so my wife and I; downed tools and took a couple of hours off, on Saturday, to recharge our batteries.

We drove to our local ‘Fisherman’s Wharf’ for a lunch of Oysters and Lobster-tails.

The local shellfish were really excellent, but we didn’t think much of the ‘huts to let’ on the foreshore. Lol.

We both had a marvellous, relaxed afternoon; before returning home at tea-time to catch-up on our work schedule.


Today, Sunday, the English leg of the famous Tour de France Cycle Race was due to pass our humble abode, so we again, ‘played hooky’ and went down to watch it.

It was a 200 Km, ( about 120 miles) ride through Kent to Canterbury, with lots of twists, turns and hills for them to cope with.

We were about 50 Km (about 30 miles) from the start.... and were pleased to see that my namesake, was way out in front... making a very good showing for us Brits.

Bravo Son! Show the Frenchies we’re as good as they are!

It was a great! We waited and watched, surrounded with a bevy of beauties, including our Indian neighbours; all cheering our English Team on... and we all had a lot of fun... even if it was all over in a few minutes, as the mass of cycles flashed past us like greased lightning.

At least we have a good community spirit in our area!

Then after saying good bye to all our friends, it was back to work, once more.

Late news.... appearently, over two million people turned out in Kent, to watch this epic cycle race!
