It’s All Trippy

image348173221.jpgAnd They’re orf.

It has been such a hectic last few months, Mrs Foggy is in charge of people again and travelling all over the place and Mr Fogg is still on contract doing what he loves so much (mmmmm).

So today has been hectic up at 6pm, and out to work for 7.15am then off to pick up Mrs Foggy from work at 3.30pm and a 4 hour drive to Gatport Airwick, luggage checked in and to the hotel for 9pm. Long Long day.

Tomorrow the plane and Vegas here we come.

Got the Blues

image666618495.jpgOf all the sights to come across in Linz, I find this pair loitering near the main square. So, last night in Linz and what have I managed to achieve/learn:

1)Austrians may speak German but it’s a very different dialect to Germany with some very different words.

2)Linz is pretty dull in the rain

3)They smoke very strong cigarettes here, and a lot

4)Austrians eat HUGE lunches but snack at night

5)My heavy cold has still not gone yet. Boo

6) There are NO English channels on the TV except BBC Entertainment which is showing wall to wall old BBC dramas complete with canned laughter. Yawn.

7) I’m tired after two very long days if meetings here

8) I finally succumbed to a large glass of wine at the hotel

Mrs Fogg in the Land of Chocolate

image2024512118.jpgAnd today sees Mrs Fogg off on a whirl wind tour of Manchester to Dusseldorf to Linz to Manchester then Bournemouth and finally to home.

Bags all packed, kitchen sink extracted and she’s gawn, booo. it’s going to be a hectic few days for my hardworking, uber geek.

Me and the Spikester will hold the fort until she returns in about 7 days time, no doubt the little lady will post some reviews of Linz and tell us how fantastic all the history (yawn) is.

Tokyo or Bust

image1098387907.jpgNo don’t worry, not another holiday booking, simply the end of another fantastic weekend.

Rounded off by a trip to Tokyo Joes’s in York and the Blues Brothers tribute band at the Grand Theatre.

Only 5 more days until the next weekend.

Wooo

Uber Geek in Full Flow

image1633654616.jpgAh Mrs Uber Geek Fogg in full flow, give her an Internet connection and a book and that’s it, she is like Rottweiler, never lets go until the job is done.

So what is the most wonderful woman in the world up to now I hear you ask, well working out exact mileage, shopping lists, places to visit, instructions and other such goodies for the next road trip, oh god not another we hear you scream, well yes as it happens. This time we are off to Vegas (no surprises), hiring an RV, going to the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe and Roswell New Mexico (to visit the aliens and the illegal type either). Wooooooo Harrrrrrrr we cant wait.

The only thing missing is the spiral binding, but even Mrs Fogg isn’t that sad (I wonder who could be then?).

Every day an adventure, every holiday is a dream and it is all down to this fantastic woman.

Every BBQ Needs a Scrubber

image227261663.jpgYup here is Mrs Foggy cleaning up after Man Makes Fire has again cremated some dead animal like things.

Another tough week at work has seen us devour a little falling down water and FizzyBoobly.

so the countdown is on for the next break with Mrs Fogg having to spend a week away in the south and mit der yermans (she has even bought a phrase book for the occasion).

Singapore Sling

image308156590.jpgWooooooo Hoooooo yup the Foggies are at it again, this time a short (7 day) city break to Singapore next year.

I went in 2000 for 2 nights on work, so it will be wonderful to see it again and to take Mrs Fogg as well.

It’s a fantastic city, very beautiful and very warm. Oh and we get to visit Raffles to sample the Singapore Sling.

Tigress Wood

image1186633374.jpgAnd what would you like to do this fine day asks I to Mrs Fogg. Go kill some golf balls!!

Off we trot to the local driving range where the Mrs with her newly acquired Michael Jackson glove proceeded to drive balls over 150 yards, before retiring to the 19th hole for a steak sandwich and cheesecake.
