Winter Sun
Friday, February 29, 2008 12:11

Like last year, Marcs mum and dad have spent the winter in Spain.

And like last year we booked some cheap flights, a cheap hire car and went out to see them for a week or so to escape the winter weather...

And an earthquake this year apparently!

It was a rather nice feeling to wake up on a freezing foggy tuesday to end up that evening somewhere with a temperature in the high teens. The weather generally was warm and sunny, and even the cloudy (and one rainy) day were far nicer than the frost and wind back home.

We went to the beach, ate lots of tapas, visited the Picasso museum in Malaga and spent a lot of time lying in the sun... so much better than being in work!

The only down side was the delay on the flight back which meant getting to bed at around 3 o'clock this morning only to get up for work 4 hours later...

Super Sunny Sunday
Sunday, February 10, 2008 20:36

This weekend was glorious... early february and two t-shirt weather days in a row!

Today I finally managed to drag Tony the short distance from his house to a rather busy Sherwood Pines where we met up with John.

Despite the sunshine it was still pretty chilly in the shade of the trees, and rather muddy in places too...

When we hit the jump park Tony wussed out of riding, so he took over as photographer while me and John had a play on the beginner run...

The problem with not being a teenager anymore is that you know how much falling off hurts, and you have to go to work on monday morning...
