That Little Bit of Heaven

Remember that wonderful place we lived Tyddyn? The wonderful cottage in Wales where time stands still and you got to enjoy life?

All those memories came flooding back this week when we were contacted by Mr & Mrs Lucky (new nickname fwends), who will be moving into the cottage shortly, we are so envious since this is the one place we would gladly go back to (and Mr Spike too).

Chatting with Mr Lucky brought back all the fun times, 2 foot of snow, isolation, the view, the meteor BBQ, peace, Pistal Rhydr, Bala, Christmas Day.

Welcome Mr & Mrs Lucky to the OOBA Blog (Our One Big Adventure).We are soooo envious of you, enjoy Tyddyn.

Pyramid, Where?

Welcome to my bedroom at the Egypt Mill in Stroud, my home for the next goodness knows how long.

No hideous flock wall paper, decent food (2 courses for £12 bonus), good attentive service and a nice room.

Welcome to Stroud without a single pyramid, although I have to “fez” up (sorry), it is a triangular room.

A little bit of Egypt here.

Mrs Fogg and I awoke early today to do the final shopping for NZ. Bacon roll sorted, hottie on my arm sorted. Now let’s spend.

PS we are looking at a hot tub party in June this year around the Diamond Jubbly, anyone interested?

The Sprouts Bite Back

Ha, I want puzzles and challenges for Christmas, I want to try and challenges myself. Just 2 of the phrases Mrs Fogg hit me with last year, so one obliged.

Here we have a 500 piece dual side jigsaw with beans on one side and brussels on the other, and yet after
10 days and 5 people (Mrs Fogg, Mr & Mrs CaddyFrog, Turfman & Turfgal) and what have they managed, 7 pieces. So to work it out 5 people, 10 days and 7 pieces means that Mrs Fogg will need 3,571 days to complete it or approx 10 years. Good Luck with that then!!!

Next time be careful what you wish for Mrs.

2012 Wooo Hooo

2012 Woooooooooo Hoooooooooooooo

We loved 2011, Mrs Fogg turned flirty 40 in St, Lucia (and went sleep streaking), we went to Singapore in March, I moved from the now known as “Knight Rider” company to Siemens for a stint then again before Christmas to another engineering company. Oh and we didn’t move house this year.

We put the finishing touches to our NZ tour. I became an “hofficial” bike rider and we had a cracking year all told (celebrating 7 years of marriage in Belgium).

What will 2012 hold? fun, fun, fun.

Happy New Year well in 20 mins anyway.
