well we got soaked.  :snigger: due to the crap weather all the young uns got too go around the track in the cars,while us parents/guardians stood trackside in the drizzle/rain.  :disapp: the camera stayed in the plastic bag for fear it would drown in the rain and the kids weren't allowed anything in the car that may become a missile in an accident,i didn't see a single kid or adult taking happy snaps,not that us wet adults were too happy anyway.  :head_butt: :blubber:  but at the end of the day our kids ranging from 12-17yo were as happy as pigs in sh1t.  :mrgreen: :goodjob2: :goodjob:  oh,guess what the cars were,5 i30s,an FD hatch and 4 Gd hatches,all automatic.  :happydance: :happydance:  if only it didn't rain.  :disapp:

Probably upset for her because she is upset, but you can see the positives in the split, I would imagine.

The house has been turned upside down.  She has more clothes than Topshop, I think.   :scared:

She and the boyfriend are still talking, I think there is a better than even money chance they will get back together.   :D

It is nice to have her around again.   :happydance:

Sad kitti, but better to get things sorted than bury it, and hope it goes away. Good luck.  :confused:

Oh-no, Gonz. I can't take the credit for that one.

That was Misha's line, as he was planning on moving in with Kittikat's 28 y/o daughter.... :rofl:

Oh no Gonz, That's not me at all..........   :TutTut:

I'm a much darker ginger than that.    :snigger:

Sorry Misha, I do think they will patch things up in the long run ( :Good_luck:) so you would be wasting your airfare.    :winker:

Legs are great,Knees are a bit dodgy,yeah the riding was not hard,been feeling a lot better since starting,it's when you have to stop it hits the knees,must remember to take my water next time.

Due to time constraints,weekedays I can only do short rides,bummer.
