Non footballing weekend and we are on the South Coast visiting our Warminster based Son. Took the opportunity to get some sun and sand at Studland Beach.
Absolutely stunning and the Airshow is on at Bournemouth as well 8-)

Poolside in Malta with a beer in 37 degree heat.
Just recovering from that desperately poor performance from England last night!

At home. Fell asleep on the sofa again with the missus. Woke up with a cricked neck. Watching Billericay v Didcot in the FA Cup on Red Button hoping it doesn't put me to sleep like England did last night.

Lovely and sunny.

As in Newbury, Berks?

I'm down there tomorrow to pick up 2 of my kids.

My kids use Specsavers at the top of the high-street if you happen to work there.

Fully retired, living on the Costa Del Sol. Mrs Vino and I will probably walk down to our local later for a bite to eat and a couple of glasses of wine, whilst overlooking the Med.

My first thought was lucky Mr.Spades but not getting dressed is one of the routes to senility so please put some clothes on your Maj.

With no game today, chance to get to bed at a reasonable time instead of 3am. Just got in from the Melbourne Storm rugby league game v Canberra.

And sleep!

OMG John Mac
We were at Studland today!!! Never been before. We live in Exmouth. Took 3 hours to get there thanks to Google Maps not recognising Dorset County Fair was on but the drive was worth it. What a stunning place. Did you walk up to Harry's Rock? We did an amazing 6k walk past the rock and back round for a pint in The Bankes Arms that has its own brewery and a beer garden with the view in your pic. Great afernoon and we will be back.

I'm in The wilds of Serbia.
Picking my way back home to Lancashire from Eastern Bulgaria.
I'm not touching a motorway, in fact I'm generally avoiding tarmac. I'll have to use some tarmac when I get to Austria.
Here's my CCM450 earlier today....I travel light!

Relaxing in my home in Spain, looking forward to my little lad's friendly against Espanyol in the manana.
Last season he scored a record breaking 88 goals and there'll be scouts from Barcelona, Girona and the Madrid teams to watch him tomorrow :)
