With the sound of distant thunder in the background and hot humid rainy Saturday afternoon I thought I would attempt to write this post, although of interest little has happed since my last post. I had a link with my brother no1Broadstreet a week ago we discussed the problems he is having with his oldest son, he gave me a good tip (BBC 7) in Internet were I can hear the old comedy radio shows (Hancock’s half hour and so forth) all in all it was a very good link.
The weather over the last few days has been very hot and now it’s turned into something intolerable, hot with a very high humidity and heavy showers with thunder.
Yesterday afternoon we went for a walk with the dog we figured out that we would be gone a good three quarters of an hour and would be home before it started to rain. On the way we stopped in at our local garden centre to price some roses that we have in mind to buy. On the way out the sky just opened and it poured down, we stood there for over 20 minuets and there was no sign of it letting up. A decision had to be made it was no use us all getting drenched so I give my wife my mobile put my head to the rain and ran all the way home to get the car. I had only got about 100 meters and I was absolutely drenched, my shoes were full with water and I didn’t have a dry spot on my body, talk about laughing! But we old soldiers know no pain.
On the Internet side of things we are in the process of changing our provider. We are breaking away from Telecom completely (far to expensive) and have chosen one called Alice. We have double flat rate, Internet and telephone for 30 Euros a month; the phone is only for Germany. They provide us with a router, which doesn’t cost us extra the only thing that I am anxious about is the setting up the bloody thing because I am not all that clued up in setting up a Internet connection. Never mind I will have a go at it and if I don’t succeed I have to get someone to do it for us.
Take care out there were ever you are. Tshüss
The photo is something that caught my attention while out walking. Don’t know why the boots are hanging there?

I have done the exact same thing on a walk a couple of years ago. I left my wife in a bus shelter and not having the knees to run I fast paced it with a walk. Once your wet through it's just a matter of focus. I agree with the laughing too. Another occasion I was cycling in the rain when a bus barreled through a flooded area and hit me with the torrent of a wave.
Another "totally" enjoyable read... you can keep them coming and who needs a book.
and thank you for your support.
Like the inclusion of the Twitter Feed, it's a good supplement to the blog.
