trying to decide what to do about this, I have the 22nd April to 2nd May off work
away with me Dad on a walking holiday for the first weekend and my bday is on the 29th
was gonna have a BBQ and gokarting session back home in Essex on the 29th but....
i quite fancy taking the bike up on the 22nd (Da can take his car) and having a blat around the Lakes/Yorks Dales after he heads back home on the 25th
that would leave me in perfect position to grab the ferry on 28th doubtfull.gif

hmmmm....

Just been reminded by Rob to sort out a meal on Saturday night.

The Hawthorns is a good restaurant to have it at and is within walking distance.

Hawthorne link

I can book a table, if I know how many fancy it.

We will probably have a pub crawl in Douglas on Friday night, there and back on the bus.

This time I fancy a Curry House, not a Peter7 special Italian / Indian Curry house

which was soo special, it did not sell pizzas or currys !!!

So any takers for Saturday night as I need to book.

Cheers, Ivan
