It's okay, if we're not .... just thought I'd float some ideas that keep cropping up<br />.... some places from our list of<br />'Things To Do And Places To Go'. <br />Or is it best to stick closer to town? There's always that gorgeous little cafe that's part of an art gallery, tucked (cosily) away in a little courtyard not far from Central Station. Of course, I don't know what it's called!Hildiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859247954480595473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-80458847075977339672011-10-01T11:58:30.476+01:002011-10-01T11:58:30.476+01:00I wanted to learn to drive the cheap way Ian, so I...I wanted to learn to drive the cheap way Ian, so I joined the TA. The driving course was thorough, and all the other things just came along. The real icing on the cake was the fact I got paid for doing something I loved doing, albeit part time.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274128902753553953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7686549576418787314.post-76410457364384299242011-09-29T21:33:38.552+01:002011-09-29T21:33:38.552+01:00Good question, Ian.

When I looked over in his direction I saw him rotating his grenade over a candle flame...<br />I'm still not sure whether it was the shouting that stopped him doing it, or the dash to get away from him and his candle.Sidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09274128902753553953noreply@blogger.com
