Been a busy but interesting weekend and week so far, so here's a quick catchup. Saturday went to Essex to see my brother Chris and sister Helen, visited Ikea at Lakeside on the way, got a little hungry so had KFC. Sunday we went to Canvey Island to the Castle Point vehicle show, Chris was showing his 1300E Mk1 Escort, and there were loads of buses and other vehicles to see as well. The RE Bullet was in the bike's section, it seemed to be a bit of a "bitsa", with lots of added extras. The T reg suffix makes it a 1999, but it had bits that looked old and bits that looked newer. Anyway, it was very interesting, no owner to talk to, and then it disappeared.

We walked around looking at all the classic cars etc. took an open top bus to the seafront (actually the mouth of the River Thames), sat on the beach, and had a great day.

It took us a while to get home, the M25 was terrible, jams in two places, but there is little you can do except sit in it and wait it out.
Monday we found out what was wrong with Wife Julies leg's, she has stress fractures, and has been signed off sick for a month. By the end of the evening she had resigned from her job as well, so that's a change of circumstances for us all. Hopefully complete rest for a month will sort out the leg problem, further doctors appointment later this week.
Tuesday night we (Dan and I) did the B & Z kids disco, at a school in Tidworth. It was Halloween fancy dress night, we had a big crowd of 80 plus kids, and Dan did an excellent job of playing music, with the help of Olly and Issac. By the end of the night we had interviews and photographs and happy punters, so a great outcome all round. We packed and then emptied the RRRR (Really Red Radio Roadshow) trailer back at base, so that the aerial can be fitted on Wednesday.
That's it really, off to Dubai with work this coming Friday to next Friday, so, depending on Internet access and time, blogging may well have to wait!
