We are going Bus crazy

As we have a bus stop opposite the house, we have been taking full advantage of the new FREE RIDES for the over 60's and already we have been on the Tour bus which passes the house every half hour, doing a 40 minute circular tour fom Ryde to Ryde via Wooton and acrosss the Downs. Yesterday we did a shopping trip to Newport and it is lovely not to have to drive or pay parking fees. Cost of petrol is rising so we will be using the free bus more often.
Lovely to see the work being carried out Julian - will you be straight in July as my plans are changing from day to day and we may be able to bring June with us early (say on 20th or 21st July) before meeting the gang in Meze. Revised plans could be to get the TGV as far as Avignon and hire a car to come and see you. Wadja fink? I think Mum would be happier not to fly, but you never know.
Pompey gets out of the drop. Panic on the South Coast yesterday as Portsmouth or Birmingham were condemmed to lose Premier status. Pompey beat Wigan and B'ham lost so now Reading and Pompey will be in next year's Premier div. All gobbledegook to those of you with no decent football team. Good old Boro' hey? Trouble is I cannot even pronounce many of the names in our English football teams. At least the Rugby team are mainly English. Delaglio?
I heard Peter Grant on the redio, yesterday. What a lovely voice for a teenage Brit. I have even bought his CD I was so impressed. I can't think of the last time I bought a Pop CD. ? a successor to Matt Monro??
Can't sleep so I am down here blogging. 6 am and time for a cuppa.
