Mutterings for the Minority

Rainbows

Here are a couple of rainbows I managed to quickly get a snap of after some thundery showers.

Legoland Windsor

Day 1 of our 2 day visit to Legoland has been a busy affair with us going on - the hill train, pirate falls, dragons apprentice, the dragon, longboat invader, viking river splash, orient expedition, boating school, wave surfer, dino safari and dino dipper!

Needless to say we got rather wet but we had sooo much fun
Roll on tomorrow that's what I say.

Reading

No not Reading as in book, but Reading as in Berkshire.

We stopped off there - well the Oracle shopping centre to be precise - on our way to the Hilton Bracknell. Why such a random visit? Well we're off to Legoland tomorrow and for a £106 two night stay at the hotel we thought it was worth a punt.

From what we saw of Reading we were impressed - with the riverside development having am Amsterdam 'esque feel to it. It's a very modern place and one which we'd happily visit again when (if?) the Swans play Reading.

Holiday Time

My week long holiday is off to a flying start as the Dieters Bar Jacks head off to Crewe to watch the Swans.

Next stop Strensham services for a toilet stop. More later…

House Party

Am at a house party and having a great time

Will update everyone tomorrow on the party and how to get a sneak preview of the Marks and Spencers Sale!

Swansea City v Huddersfield Town

Despite sampling the pre-match delights of the morfa legends lounge - 3 course meal included - it was a disappointing evening due to the 1 nil loss.

More tomorrow.

Chessington World of Adventure

Wow what a day. Nine hours of fun in the sun at Chessington. There is so much to do and see here that we've had a great time. More details and pics to follow when we get home.

We're off to Legoland in Windsor tomorrow for the final leg of our mini-break. So until then nos da pobl

Swindon Outlet Village

The house of DDWT kicked off its mini break at Chessington World of Adventure by stopping off en-route at Swindon.

I'm going to keep this brief as my txting speed of 5 seconds per letter is a killer

We duly arrived at the Holiday Inn Chessington at 6 ish and promptly headed off to the swimming pool

The only downside to a fun day was missing the Swans take on Premiership Reading in the league cup.

An action packed day lies ahead tomorrow @ Chessington so it's time to catch some zzz's now.

So did this work?

Here I am lazing on my king size bed still trying to get my darn blog to accept emails! Hopefully I’ve setup my other email account up correctly on this Sony Ericsson Z610i. So here goes … HELLO WORLD … is there anyone there?

Trafalgar bridge is falling down

Another lovely sunny day here in Swansea meant that my lunchtime run was most enjoyable. Well what I mean to say is that the conditions were enjoyable, even if the pain I felt going round wasn’t! There’s not much gas in my tank at the moment, but at least by being in bed that wee bit earlier last night meant I didn’t quite feel as zonked today.

Razor and I had to change our running route once again - due to work still being done on Trafalgar Bridge - and our little detour ensured that we broke the 30 minutes barrier, albeit by just 19 seconds.

For those of you with young children - whom happen to have a fascination with dinosaurs like DDWT Junior - let me present the perfect fashion accessory, as found by Mrs DDWT in George at Asda (Morfa Swansea branch).

These plush £6 slippers - known as ‘Leftie’ and ‘Rightie’ - are a must have for any dinosaur loving nipper and an extremely useful bargaining tool for any child whom refuses to wear shoes/slippers/booties or whatever item of footwear.
