Holidays



We've been on holiday for the last two weeks. We spent a few days at home going for walks (see photos) and bike rides etc. We also took a trip to Suffolk to see Hannah Laughlin our new neice and ride on Wytchcraft (see photos). We then spent a week on Mallorca (see photos).

Mallorca was very pleasent, after a small baggage mix up, we stayed in an old converted barn in the middle of the island. There were plenty of fruit trees growing on the grounds, so we had lots of fresh grapes. We took a few walks, did some sight seeing, and had plenty of pool time. We hired a Mercedes SLK A class with the hotel points I accumulated in Pittsburgh - so we drove around quite a lot on tiny mountain roads. Lots of fun.

Board stupid

I just saw this video on YouTube. Needless to say, I was quite impressed.

I need this car



Tesla Motors will soon be releasing their first car in partnership with Lotus. It goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds, reaches 130 mph and has 248 bhp. All this and it runs on batteries. One of these would seriously reduce my travelling costs (I spend around £75 a week on fuel) and would get me to work a lot quicker (well perhaps not legally). The problem is the estimated price tag of around $80,000. Never mind, perhaps I should search for a milk float on autotrader instead.
