Conningsby

Postby Jigsaw » Wed Feb 17, 2010 6:45 pm

I have to drop my son off at Sleaford in the morning.
Guess who is going to Conningsby for the first time in about 400 years :D

Edit: maybe it wasn't such a good idea to cook a rather hot vegetable curry for this evening

Or i could stick with the curry, if any gliders are around I can stand under 'em.

Thank You Helen!

I've only watched the first one, but weren't
they busy little bees today?

I DID miss your usual commentary, though.....

Laryngitis?

D.
I like to do my planning retroactively!

LOL. You know as well as I do mate. It will "do it"....for how long? anyboby's guess :)) good luck ;)

Anyway, as I couldn't make Conningsby I consoled myself by flying my own Typhoon back in time to Waddington :D

Whilst there I aquired some keys from a locker. Don't know who's they were but had DT on the fob.
Took it for a spin anyway before anyone spotted me ;)
