I have returned, and to prove it i’m here!

Hello fellow bloggies and bloggettes. I’m sorry i haven’t been on here for some time but for those who follow me you’ll know why ( my little addiction haha)

11

We went to Le Mans to watch the 24 hour race on the weekend of 11-14th June and had a wonderful time. It was my first attempt at camping and so funny! On the first night our tent leaked when it poured down with rain and i woke up wet from my knees down, i couldn’t stop laughing.

Prior to us going to France, my other half broke his big toe so it was hit and miss if he’d be able to drive all the way to France or not. luckily he was fine but the toe ached after a lot of walking.

On returning from camping, i had to go to the eye hospital for more tests regarding the possibility of me having glaucoma. I thought the tests had finished weeks ago but they needed more. I had photo’s taken of my eyes too so that every time i visit my optician ( now every year instead of 2) i show him these pictures to see if my eyes have changed.

Sad times came last Sunday when his father died, such a shock. Tommy was a wonderful man and will be sadly missed.

I am a TWITTERHOLIC, thats official

Well it has to be confirmed.. I have become a Twitterholic. I doubt thats a real word to be honest as i do tend to make up words but most people who know me know my “Traceyisms”

Anyway, since discovering Twitter I cannot stay out of the place. I’ve made some wonderful friends on there as well as A long lost cousin in law. If you’ve never been on Twitter, go try it, if you get lost send me a message i’ll help you, i’m quite a dab hand at it now.

There’s even a clever search box, where you can type for example the name of your home town, and everyone who has twittered and mentioned your home town appear and you see the messages.. Its also good for job hunting as when you type in for example my home town of Kingston upon Hull, quite a few jobs appear too.

I’m on a roll here LOL. Now i’ll stop harping on about my new hobby/addiction.

Next week we travel down to Dover with about 60 other Astra VXR’s from the car club my other half belongs to, to head off to Le Mans for the 24 hour race. We have our own campsite right by the track so there’ll be no sleep and also our own shower/toilet block and we’re having a barbeque while watching on our very own big screen tv, England play USA in the World Cup. I’m past myself with excitement, i really can’t wait.

Right now i’ve kind of caught up here, I’ll go and make my other half a cup of coffee to drink while he’s washing/waxing/claying/waxing and whatever else he’s doing to make his car shinier than a shiny thing.
