First time abroad in six years and we’re staying in a villa with a pool in the middle of nowhere in the Dordogne. The view is 360 degree rolling hills and sunflower fields in full bloom. 29 degrees and sunny. Kids are enjoying it and behaving, nowhere sells bad red wine, we swam in a lake today and going to St Emilion tomorrow to sample the good stuff. Steak and salad every night. So good.

I’m there Friday? Wanna link haha

That would top it off but it’s like a 20 min drive to even the nearest hamlet. So quiet. It’s killing me i’m not some avant-garde author so I could legit sit here all summer knocking out my latest best seller masterpiece

Kronenburg during the day for sure but red at night can’t be that Anglo can it? The locals are buying tonnes in the Carrefour we go to?

I was messing with you mate. First I was gonna roast you regarding the nowhere-sells-bad-red thing but I thought I’d stay quiet. :upside_down_face:

So far, maybe we’ve struck lucky but it’s all been good. Try buying red wine at random in a Yorkshire Coop and see where it gets you :smiley:

It’s got to be served boiling hot and the milk always goes in first.

Holiday has been fucking epic so far. Real proper break, gone up some Spanish mountain.

Haha yeah I know!

Only real downer seems to be that I’m 85% sure my mother in law saw some drunk holiday sex on the outdoor seating area last night after we thought they’d all gone to bed. Very frosty atmosphere today for no other obvious reason. Can’t really ask to confirm if it’s the case so just have to style it out. :man_shrugging:

Had a properly great day at Alton Towers with my daughter for her 11th as she was bang on 140cm so could go on proper rides with me at last.

Only a psychopath could have designed The Smiler. Fucking loved every second of that. Managed to finally get on Galactica/Air at the end of the day as that thing is always broken/closed.

Went last night for the final of the 5 nights.

Must admit my primary motivation was just to take my three teenage daughters (who were uber-stoked). Turned into one of the best nights out I’ve ever had though!

I mean I’m a big fan so I knew I’d love it but it exceeded all expectations. Saw so many dads absolutely vibing out haha. Was so amazing!

A mate I skate with went back in June and was totally gassed on it. I couldn’t really relate and if I’m honest I think the latent music snob in me was a bit like ā€˜get a grip mate’. Goes to show, dunnit.

I’d go again tonight if I could :joy:

Managed to get my contract to SIM only 2 months early with free EU roaming and unlimited everything else for like £28.

Don’t hesitate to ring these fuckers, complain, give them a logical answer why you will leave then they come back with something actually good.

EDIT: forgot to mention, got 25% off my energy bill the other day, the company I was with was taken over. Just phoned them up saying I didn’t agree to this shit etc etc, you guys make billions. Got 25% of what I owed removed from the account.
