Yes folks, Top Gear is back on BBC2 and thanks to the wonders of this here internet those of us outside the mother country get to watch it as well. The title of the post is a quote from the ever quotable Jeremy Clarkson, who was referring to Honda drivers.
I’ve been somewhat remiss of late and haven’t been keeping you, dear reader, abreast of developments here Chez Todd. I’ve spent the last four Saturdays working and have (apparently) been negligent of my toddler wrangling duties. I’ve also started an photography course at the local evening college. Which means that in another five weeks time you will be able to call me David Bailey without the irony.
It’s also annual competition time at my tennis club. A brief but spectacular appearance in the mixed doubles on Sunday leaves me plenty of time to concentrate on my game for the mens doubles tomorrow and the singles next week. I expect to be all conquering. Or possibly not. If you’ve ever seen me play tennis you’ll know which is the more likely.
It was SWMBO‘s birthday a couple of weeks ago and one of her presents has just arrived. Courtesy of Outraged and I.M.O.T. she received a collection of chocolates, crisps and KP Dry Roasted peanuts. Cheers Lewis family, the nuts are lovely.
Todd Too is continuing to develop exactly in line with the manual and was examined by the obstetrician this morning. All being well I’ll be taking a couple of weeks off work in about seven weeks time. Of course, SWMBO is convinced that the blighter will be early, but then she always looks on the bright side.
Finally, all things being equal we should exchange contracts on the first part of our extensive property portfolio on Thursday. Wish us luck.
Update: Another choice quote from Mr Clarkson in the first episode of the new series; "Oh no, I appear to have bought Puff Daddy’s car to the Somme"
Extensive…. hmm. Do you have a secret stash of cash.
for this extensive property portfolio, that we don’t know about.
