Sunday - 4th April 2004

Rob and me got up at about 8:15am. Then we both had a shower. Then Rob very nicely helped me get everything packed for us both going up to Scotland. We were both all ready by 8:35am. Which I was very pleased with indeed, because I had been hoping to be on the roads by 10:00am. But we were on the way by 8:45am.

The drive up to Scotland went very well indeed. At first I had not really been looking forward to it, mainly because I had never done a long drive like it before. The journey from Little Bytham to Killearn was just over 320 miles in total. We went up to the A1(M) to Scotch Corner then over the A66 to the M6, then the A74(M) then the M8.

On the way up we stopped four times. First at the Scotch Corner, to go the the toilet, get something to drink and to put petrol in the car. Then on the A66 to take some photos, since the weather was nice. Then at service station on the A74(M). Then we also stopped off in Glasgow, mainly to get my Mum another birthday card. Because I had forgot to pick up the one that I got for her from Birmingham, a number of weeks ago.

We were very, very lucky indeed with the roads the whole way up. The only bit I did not like was the last piece on the M8 it got, very, very busy indeed. We got there on it one bit, so that's the main thing.

Once we were done in Glasgow. I drove to Killearn. But they were not there, my big brother Douglas said they were at the caravan site. So were drove there.

When we got there Rob was, very, very shy indeed. He's so cute when he's shy. Lucky both my Mum and Dad liked him.

Once we were done at the caravan I drove us back to Killearn. Where my Mum cooked us both some flat sausages. Which were very, very nice indeed. I am not 2 sure what Rob thought of them. He's never had them before.

Then I drove us to Balmaha which is next to Loch Lomond. We took some photos. Then it was back to Killearn. We were both in bed by 8:30pm. It had been a very long day indeed. But a great one at that .

Monday - 5th April 2004

Rob and me spend most of the day in Glasgow. At first we spend a while looking around the shops.

Then Rob and me got the underground to Hillhead. It was the first time that he had used the underground in his life. Then we walked from Hillhead to the Glasgow Transport museum. We had a quick look around. Before walking back to the City Centre via Kelvingrove Park. Lucky we made it back just before it starting to rain, or we both would have got very wet indeed.

Once back in Glasgow we went to Pizza Hut to get food. Then we went to the UGC Cinemas to see Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed. It was very, very good indeed. I will now need to see the first one. If you have not seen it yet, I would really recommend it.

Then in the evening we drove all the way up the West side of Loch Lomond. I had not been right up to the top of Loch Lomond for many years. We stopped lots and took lots of great photos. All going well I will be adding some of the best ones to my website, in the coming weeks. So keep an eye out on the photos section of my website.

Oh and hello to the person who come up to me and asked if I was Gordon Valentine and said that he really likes my website!!! I have had this happen before, but never when walking around the shops. It normally only happens, when I am out on the gay scene in Glasgow.

Tuesday - 6th April 2004

"Me learning to drive againIn the morning we went to Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, we stopped off, to look around the woods and to get Rob's Mum and Dad a postcard. Then we went to Loch Katrine, went for a nice walk. Then went back to Killearn.

Then we filled the car up with fuel, then I drove us up the East side of Loch Lomond to Rowardennan

And we also went to Inversnaid. The single track roads were great fun. At least we did not get run off the road, like the time when David and me went there.

Wednesday - 7th April 2004

Me driving around GlasgowRob and me went to Glasgow for the day. At first we went to the Braehead Shopping and Leisure Centre meaning that I got to drive thought the Clyde tunnel. Since passing my driving test I had been looking forward to getting to drive thought it.

Once we had done looking around the Braehead Centre we then went to IKEA Glasgow. To have a look at there cool stuff. When we were their I found some very nice blinds, they I think I will get from the Nottingham IKEA, next time I am there.

After IKEA I then drove along the M8 and into Glasgow city centre. Once I had parked the car in the multi-story car park, we then had look around more of the shops in Glasgow. While in Glasgow we also called in to see one of my friends called Scott at work. It was great to see him again. I had not seen him since I was up in Glasgow at the New Year.

Then once back in Killearn, since the rain had stayed all. I made up my mind to take Rob to see the Falkirk Wheel. I think he really liked it. It's only the second time that I have been their. The first time was with my Mum and Dad last year sometime.

Once back in Killearn we had something to eat. Then watched some TV. Then it was off to bed. It was a easily night, because I needed to get lots of sleep because driving back us back to England in the morning.

Thursday - 8th April 2004

Rob and me got up at about 8:00am. We both had a nice hot showers. Then made sure that we had everything packed for going back down to England. They we both said good-bye to my Mum and Dad. We both had a great time in Scotland so we did not really want to go back to England. But all going to plain we will both be going to Scotland again in June or July.

The drive back down to England went very, very well. The only hold up we had was on the A66 coming up to some temporary traffic for some road works on a bridge. We got back in good time, we left Killearn at about 8:35am and was back in Little Bytham just before 3:00pm.

Once back home. We both un-packed all of our stuff. Then I put the washing on. Then we started the long job of sorting out all of the 100's of photos we had both taken while up in Scotland.

Then in the evening Mark, Rob and me went to the Castle Inn, in Castle Bytham to get food, then it was back home and str8 to bed for Rob and me.

Saturday - 10th April 2004

Mark, Rob and me went to IKEA Nottingham we mainly just went for something different to do. While at IKEA I got myself some nice blinds, they were only £27 which is not bad at all. They are same ones that Rob and me liked while looking around the IKEA in Glasgow. We also looked at some other very nice stuff, which I will get for my room when I have some more money.

Then after looking around IKEA we walked over road to Decathlon. If you have never been to it, before it's a very big shops store. They sell lots of very nice stuff and also some of the staff are well fit, which is the main reason we went to have a look around.

Then back home back, I got myself really for work. Rob stayed at home, so he would not get bored. While I was working. I was so glad to be back home after work and to see my boyfriend waiting for me.

Wednesday - 14th April 2004

Rob and me got up at about 10:00am. We both showed, then played about on the net for a while. Had something to eat, then we walked the dog. Then I cooked us both food.

Then I got my stuff ready for going to work. I had to cycle to Stamford train station to get the train, because Mark was in London, so I needed to make my own way into work. I got to the train station on time, but that's when everything started to go wrong. I waited for about 10 minutes for the train to turn up. But no luck, so I checked what was going on with WAP on my mobile. It said the train was running about 1 hour last and would not get to Stamford till about 6:30pm. So if I waited till then I would not get to work, till about 7:00pm. So I made up mind up to cycle the whole way to work. So 2 hours 15 minutes later, I go to work. I was just a bit last to say the least, but I got there in the end. I got to work at 7:25pm, when I should have got their at 6:00pm.

People at work could not believe that I had cycled 27 miles just to get to work. I did really need the money and also did not want to let them down. Lucky I did not have to cycle back home. Because Janet, had already very nicely said that she would give me a lift home.

Once both home I told Rob, that I had cycled all the way to work. He also could not really believe that I had done it. But I would do it again, but next time I will try to find myself a better route to go.

I was so glad to get to bed, my legs were killing me, to say the least.

Monday - 26th April 2004

I got up at about 10:00am. Then I download a new version of software to my Panasonic Freeview box. Which I have been waiting for Panasonic to do the over-air download via the engineering channel, since January. But they have updated my box at long last, so I am happy. The main thing that the update has done is fixed the box so that it that "Teletext on 4" now works on the box.

Then I had a shower, before driving into Stamford to get my hair cut. It's been so long I have no idea when I last got it cut. Then I went to Morrisons to get food for the next couple of days.

Once back home I cooked my self some food, then watched Neighbours while eating it. Then I took the dog out for a nice long walk. While out walking the dog, I walked past where the village's Orange transmitter being build, I could not believe how much work they had done to it since Friday. It will be very good when it goes live. It should mean that at long I will get a good Orange mobile reception in the village.

Once back from working the dog. I went a cycle to Tallington. I was very pleased indeed with the time that I did the cycle in. I did the cycle in 1 hour, 42 minutes, which I think is good going for a 24 mile cycle.

Once back home Mark and me went a walk with the dog. She looked very happy indeed. It's not that often that she get's to go two nice walks in a day.

Then I watched some TV for a while, before Mark and me to The Willoughby Arms, the local pub, for some food. Once back home I speak to my boyfriend Rob on-line for a while, before going to bed.

Sunday - 2nd May 2004

I got up at about 11:00am. I would have been in bed for for much longer, but the dog woke me up. When something came thought the letter box. But for once I was glad that she woke up up, or god only knows when I would have got up.

Once up I checked my email, had a shower the normal boring stuff that I do everyday. Then I did some more work to the Sports Sunday and Dogtrack Gossip website.

Then Mark and me drove to Morkery Woods, some nice local woods at the other side of Castle Bytham, just next to the A1. The dog was very happy indeed when she worked out where she was. We went a walk right around the whole words, which much have taken us at least 1 hour, if not more. It was a very nice day indeed, so we were making the most of it.

Once back home. I had something to eat. Then I went out a cycle. I only did just over 9 miles. Mainly because it was starting to get dark and I wanted to get back in time, to go the the local pub to get food.

Once back from the cycle. Mark and me went to The Willoughby Arms to get food. We went to the Caste Inn first, but the person who does the food was not their. Once we got to the Willoughby we could not believe how busy it was, we had not seen it was busy in god knows how long.

Once back home. I spoke to my boyfriend Rob on-line for a while, before going to bed.

Monday - 3rd May 2004

I got up at about 12:00pm. I then download all my emails, about 60 of them in total, but only three of them were not SPAM. I really hate SPAM it really does my head in. Then I had a shower. Then I did more work to Sports Sunday and Dogtrack Gossip website, if you have not been to it before, then go and check it out.

Then Mark and me went to Morrisons to do food shopping. I love food shopping so much!! NOT!! When once back home, I played about on the Internet and spoke to some friends on MSN and also to my BF Rob.

Then I cooked Mark and me some food. We then both went a nice walk with the Dog. It was good walk, we went a walk had I had not been on before, it was not to go somewhere different for a change.

Then when back home I just played about on the Internet and watched crap on TV. You can always till when it's a Bank Holiday, because their is nothing good on TV at all. I also phoned up my Mum and Dad to see how things are going up in Scotland.

I then went to bed at about 12:30am, but I took my laptop with me. So that I could give this website a much needed update.

Friday - 7th May 2004

I would just like a say a very, very BIG well done to Adam (someone that I work with) for passing his driving test today. I was even more pleased will him passing, then I was with myself when I did in January of this year.

I also got some other great news today. Most of you will not really care, but at long last, the village I stay in as a date for getting ASDL. We're going to have it by the 1st September 2004. Meaning good bye to ISDN and HELLO fast Internet. The only bad thing is that I will lose the phone line in my room. But at least having ISDN is going to save a lot of money.

Saturday - 8th May 2004

I got woken up at about 9:00am, because of the dog braking at something, what I have no idea. I was not very happy when I did because I have not sleeping very well for the past number of nights, why I have no idea at all. So I just stayed in bed, and tired to get back to sleep, but I just give up in the end. And listened to the BBC World Service on Freeview. I think it's good on Saturday morning's or maybe I am just starting to show my age. I like it because it has a radio version of Top of the Pops on it. I am always at work Friday nights, so I next to never get to see the TV one, on BBC1.

I was very happy while the post turned up. Because I got a new phone. Well new to me. My Dad had a extra Nokia 6310i in the house. So he asked, if I wanted it, of course I was not going to say no. I only have a Nokia 6210 and it's really starting to show it's age now. Since the Nokia one he sent me is a ex O2 one, it will work with any SIM card.

Once I had got bored playing about with the phone. I got out of bed at about 12:00pm. Then I had a shower. Checked my email, and give my room a quick clean. Before making myself something to eat.

Then Ben and me went a walk with the dog. I went out with a jumper on, which after walking for a while, I really wish I had not put it on, as I started to get way to hot.

Then back back home. I did a quick change to get really for going to work. It was a bit of a crap night to say the least. It was very, very busy all night long, people would just not stop drinking. To main things even worst, we ended up doing more or less two bars work. Because the other bar in the restaurant, had a crap member of staff on it. He could not cope with even more then one ticket and kept bring them all down to our bar. So for most of the night, bar 1 the one that I am always had three people doing the drink tickets. Adam, Ashley and me. If it had not been for that people would have been waiting a long time to get their drinks to say the least.

I was just so glad when work was over and I was back home. At least I know that Tuesday night, will be nice and easy. There will only be one bar in use. Jonny will be doing the drink tickets and me taking them down to the tables.

When I checked my email just before going to bed. I could not believe it, someone had given a donation for £50, yes £50 to help with the costs of getting another wetsuit, for wetsuitlads.co.uk. So I would like to say a very, very big thank-you. You know who you are!!! So thanks once again .

Sunday - 9th May 2004

I sept a bit better last night thank god. This time I got waken up at about 10:00am, because of the next door neighbour cutting the grass. So I just stayed in bed and watched some stuff on "The Hits" (a music channel) for a while. I got up at about 11:30am. Checked my email, then...

I phoned the very nice people at Orange PCS to have my Nokia 6310i GPRS enabled. I could not believe how fast I got to speak to someone. I was put though very fast indeed. The guy at the other end of the phone was very good indeed. He sent the needed SIM card update to my mobile and within 2 minutes my phone was working with GPRS. So I was well happy, how much I will use it is another thing all together.

In the next number of weeks, when the new Orange phone mast in the village goes live, if it gives me a better network coverage. I will phone up Orange again to change my service plain. Right now I am on Everyday 50. In other words 50 free off-peak minutes every night and at the weekend. But I never really use them. Because I am at work, four nights a week and when at home I can't get a good network coverage. So having so many minutes is just point, so I am going to pay a bit more, so I can phone any network on and off-peak and not have to worry about my phone bill.

Once I had a shower. Mark and me went to Morrisons to do some food shopping and to fill the car up with fuel. I can't believe how much fuel is right now. I am so happy that, I have still to get a car sorted out. No way I am going to pay 83.9p a litre.

Once back from the shops. Mark and me went a walk with the dog. Once back, I did a quick change. Then we both went to The Willoughby Arms to get food. Which was very nice indeed. And it's also nice to see that more people are starting to go again. At one point no one was really going. But the place is starting to do really well again!

Once back from having food. I logged on to MSN and chatted to my boyfriend Rob for a while. We are both really, really missing each other, I can't wait to see him again. The sooner the better . We have not seen each other, since getting back from Scotland.

Once I had said good-nite to Rob. I watched some TV for a while. Then I took my laptop to bed with me again. So I could get this website updated again, then it was off to sleep.

Monday - 17th May 2004

I got up at about 10:30am. Which is not bad going for me, since the weather is so good, I want to make the most of it. For once I was good boy when I got out of bed, I had a shower straight away, with with out turning my computer on. Because when I do that, before I know it I have spend hours on it and not done anything at all.

So once I was out the shower. I then turned on my computer and checked my email, but I made sure that I was not on it for long. Once I had checked my email I went out a walk with the dog. Since it was so nice I went out in my shorts and t-shirt. I just feel sorry for all the people who seen my white legs.

Once back from walking the dog. I cooked myself some food and watched Neighbours while eating it. I then played about on the Internet for a while.

I waited till about 3:00pm before going out on my bike. I did not want to go out any sooner, because it would have been way to hot. I felt like a change, when I went out on my bike. So I looked at the map and made up my mind to cycle to Rutland Water. I have been meaning to do it for a long time, but never got around to it before. It was a good cycle, it's just over 10 miles to get their, which took me about 45 minutes. Now I have done it once I can see myself doing it a lot more. It's a great cycle because over 98% of it is on back roads. I will be adding the route to my cycling pages soon.

Once back from my cycle I cooled down for a while and spoke to my boyfriend Rob on-line. I also phoned home to see how my Mum and Dad are. And also to see if I had any post in Killearn. Lucky they had the post, that I needed. So I can now access the new on-line service from Bank of Scotland. I played about with it for a while, but it's going to take me a while to get fully use to it.

Then later in the evening Mark and me walked the dog. What a lucky girl she is. Being walked twice a dog. After the dog Mark and me went to The Willoughby Arms to get food. Which was very nice indeed.

Then once back from the pub I spoke to my boyfriend Rob and some mates on MSN. Then I took my laptop to bed to get this website updated again. Then it was off with my laptop and to sleep.

Wednesday - 19th May 2004

I got up at about 10:15am. Did all my normal boring morning stuff. Then I went a walk with Pebbles. We left the house at about 11:00am, I could not believe now hot it was, I was very glad indeed that I put my shorts on. But I did feel sorry for the dog. Once back home I did make sure that she had a nice cold drink.

Once back I went a drive to Morrisons to get food and drink for Mark, Paul and of course me. The second I got back in I turned the oven on, to get by food sorted out. Then I had my food while watching Neighbours and playing about on the Internet.

Then not long after Neighbours. At about 2:20pm I left the house to go a cycle to Tallington and back. I got to Tallington in about 48 minutes, which is about my normal time. But it did take me longer then normal to cycle back, mainly because their was a strong head wind. I also don't think that the heat helped to much. I did the whole cycle in 1 hour 46 minutes. But was OK, but my average is 1 hour 38 minutes.

The best thing about the whole cycle happened about 3 miles from my house, while on the way back. I also seen guys in full cycling gear, but this time the guy was well hot. He was wearing sexy red cycling short and yellow top. If you were that person then, please let me know .

Once back home I had a quick shower. Then it was off to work at the dog track. It was the most boring night that I have had since I started working their. The time was going so slow I am sure that it was going back-words.

I was so glad to get back home. I hope never to have a night like that again. If I do I think I will go mad!

Thursday - 20th May 2004

I was a bit pissed off when I woke up in the morning, because it was pissing it down outside. I really wanted to get out on my bike, to do another 20 miles. I really wish that the weather forecast was better. So I just stayed in bed till about 11:00am and watched a very good program on uktv History. It was about The Bell Rock Lighthouse in Scotland, it part of a TV series called Seven Wonders of the Industrial World.

Once out of bed I had a shower, checked my email etc. Then I cleaned my room and the kitchen, washed my bed covers. So my the place would look nice and clean ready for my boyfriend Rob, who is coming over for the weekend. I can't wait to see him again, I have not seen him in over a month now. So I can't wait to see him again .

I then spend most of the rest of the day playing about on the Internet. While on-line I updated my Sports Sunday and Dogtrack Gossip website, to make it look a bit better.

Then in the evening Mark, Matthew and me went to the Castle Inn, in the next village. Only Mark and me had something to eat, because Matthew had ready eating. The food was very nice indeed. It was also nice to see Matthew again. Oh and happy birthday to Mark, which was the main reason we went to the pub. I better not say what age he is, or he will not be happy with me at all!

Then once back from the pub, I spoke to my Rob on-line for a while, then went to bed.

Saturday - 22rd May 2004

Rob and me have now been going out for 3 months as off today. So Happy Anniversary to us!!!

We both woke up late at about 12:00pm. We then both went out a walk with Pebbles the dog.

Once back from walking the dog. Rob and me went another walk, but this time with out the dog. We went to the place were I take the wetsuit photos. Then yes you guessed it, Rob put my wetsuit on and I took lots and lots of photos of him, in my sexy wetsuit.

Then once back we had stuff to eat. Then Mark phoned to say we could not be back in time, to give me a left to work. So I cycled to Stamford then got the train from Stamford to Peterborough. Then I cycled from the train station in Peterborough to walk. I was only 25 minutes late, which was not 2 bad at all.

Work once i got there, was not 2 bad at all. The evening went nice and fast, which is always good. Then after work, some of us went out for a Pizza. The Pizza was very nice indeed. The only bad thing about having one, was that I was back home late. I don't like leaving my Rob, for so long on his own.

When I got back home, Rob was already in bed waiting for me to get back. I checked my email, then joined my Rob in bed.

Sunday - 23rd May 2004

Rob and me both woke up at about 11:30am, then we both had showers. Then I checked my email etc on-line. Before Rob and me went out a nice walk with Pebbles.

Then once back I went a cycle to Stamford to get Rob and me stuff to drink, because we were fast running out of stuff in the house to drink. I got two bottles of juice, which may not sound like much, but then we you cycle back 7 miles with it on your back, so soon start to notice it!

Back back I helped Rob set-up a website using Dreamweaver. So please all go and look at it and sign his guestbook. This website can be found at punkafish.tripod.com.

Then we just watched some stuff on TV, played about more on the net, then went to bed.

Monday - 24th May 2004

Rob and me both woke up at about 10:00am. Then got out of bed then both had showers. Then we both played about on the Internet for a while, checked email etc.

Then I Rob and me went to Morrisons in Stamford to get Mark some food. Then one back we dropped the food off with Mark. Then we both got straight back into the car, then went to Rutland Water. We parked at the Butterfly Farm & Aquatic Centre car park, then walked to the Normanton Church, the walk in total must have been at least 4 miles, if not more in total.

Once back to my place Rob got all his stuff ready for going back home to Rugby. I give him a lift to Stamford train station. We waited for at least half an hour, by the train never turned. Good old Central Trains, back to their good old bad self's. So in the end we just give up. We then both went a walk in to Stamford to get Mark some stuff from Boots.

Then we both we both went back to my place. At least it means that we get to spend another day with each other. Once back home I cooked us both food.

Once we had eating our food we went out a walk with the dog. Then we just played about on the Internet and chatted to each another, before going to bed.

Tuesday - 25th May 2004

Rob and me woke at about 9:30am. We both had had a shower, then I went on my computer to print out a road map, so I would not get lost on to way, while driving Rob back to Rugby. I had done the journey because, but not for a good a while. We got to Rugby in good time, we set off at about 10:00am and was in Rugby for about 11:00am.

While I was in Rob's home in Rugby I installed Dreamweaver on his computer, so he could play about with his website that can be found at punkafish.tripod.com. I then set-up his printer so he could print over the network. It took me a while to get it working, because I am not use to Windows XP Pro, I still only use Windows 2000 Pro, because it does everything that I need it to do. Then I said good-bye to my Rob, then drove back home alone the M6, A14, A41 and back to Little Bytham.

Once back home, I txted my Rob to let him know that I was back all safe and well. Then I cooked some food and had it while watching Neighbours. Then I had to drive in to Stamford to get food from Morrisons for Mark and Paul.

Then I played about on the Internet for a while. Then got myself ready for work, then off I went. It was OK evening, we did not really have much to do, so it was a bit boring at times. Because people were not drinking that much.

Then once back home I played about on the Intranet for a while, then went to bed and watched Holby City.

Friday - 28th May 2004
I am so happy now I have done over 500 miles so far this year. Meaning that I am well ahead of the 174.6 miles that I had done by the same time last year.
Sunday - 30th May 2004

I got up at about 11:00am. Had a shower, then played about on the Internet for a while. Then I cooked myself some food. I had a Pizza that I got from Morrisons on Friday. Then I just played about on the Internet for some more, while watching some stuff on TV.

Then I went a cycle to the place that I take most of the Wetsuitlads photos. I took my new wetsuit that I got on Friday, because I wanted to see what it was like wet. It was really, really get. So I am glad that I go it. It felt so good on you would not believe.

Once back home I watched some TV and chatting to my BF Rob on the Internet with MSN. I also did some work to my Wetsuitlads website at the same time. I can't wait to get some new photos of me in my new wetsuit for the website.

Then in the evening I went a cycle to Morrisons in Stamford to get something to drink. I got Irn-Bru of course, some sweets. While I was there I chatted to Matthew for a about half an hour. I think he was glad that I turned up, because the place was very quiet and he looked very bored indeed. I also did the cycle to make sure that I did 300 miles in this month. So I am very happy now. I can't see myself doing many miles again in one month for a very long time.

Once back from my cycle. I spend most of evening watching TV, playing about on the Internet and chatting to my Rob.

Wednesday - 2rd June 2004

My Top UP TV card turned up in the post today, which I ordered on Saturday. So I can now watch E4, UKTV Gold, Discovery Channel and Boomerang and many more on my Pace Freeview box, for £7.99 a month.

In the evening I was working at the dog track. I had a very, very crap night. Because two member's of staff were really, really winding me up and I was just not in the mood for it. I go so pissed off, I ended up walking out and sent them a text message saying that I quit. After I had driving around Peterborough for a while, I went back to work and Row, talked my out of leaving. One of people who pissed me off said sorry to me. The other one did not, at least one said sorry.

Once back from work, I chatting to my BF for a while and watched some TV before going to bed.

Sunday - 6th June 2004

I got up at about 11:00am. I had a shower and played about on the Internet and watched UKTV Gold. It was far to hot during the mid afternoon to go out on my bike. Once it had cooled down a bit. Mark and me went out to take photos of me in my new wetsuit for my wetsuitlads website. So please go and check them out.

Then once back from taken the photos. I went a nice cycle to Tallington, on the way back I called in at Morrisons to get a drink to cool myself down and to chat to Matthew for a while.

Once back Mark, Sam and me walked with the dog to The Willoughby Arms to get food. Since it was so nice and warm we had the meal's outside.

Once back home I sorted out all my wetsuitlads photos, which took a good number of hours and spoke to my BF Rob on-line for a while.

Monday - 7th June 2004

I got up at about 10:30am. Had a shower. Then I went to Morrisons to get lots of stuff to drink, because I had run out of stuff in the house to have. Once back I played about on the Internet and sorted out emails, it was far to hot to do much else. I then made a start on the boring job of sorting out my bank statement's. Just after watching Neighbours, I back back to Morrisons in Stamford again, this time to get food to eat for today and tomorrow.

Once I had eating my food, that I cooked just after getting back from Stamford. I went a cycle to Holywell which is a went a easy would be only be about 3 miles, so I go the long way. I cycle from Little Bytham though Creeton, Swinstead, Corby Glen, Swayfield and Castle Bytham. So once I have gone though all of them villages the cycle ends up being 14 miles.

Once I got back from my cycle I spoke to my bf Rob on-line for a while. He is more than happy with what I got him for this 18th Birthday, which is tomorrow. I got him 256 MB for his computer. Because it only had 128 MB, because which is not much at all. Once he got it installed in his computer, he's now got 384 MB. So his says his computer is not running a hell of a lot faster. Things are now loading in seconds and not minutes like before.

Then after speaking to Rob for a while, since I had cooled down a bit, I took Pebbles out for a while. We still did not go the full walk, because even at 8:20pm, is was till to hot for her.

Once back from watching the dog. I speak to my Rob some more while watching My Family on UKTV Gold. I find it so funny, now you can get the first season's on DVD, I think I will have to get it.

At about 10:00pm, I turned my desktop computer off and starting using my laptop, to try to cool my room down a bit, because it was time for bed. It far to hot for my liking right now, even during the night. For the past number of nights, I have not been sleeping to well, because it's been so hot.

Tuesday - 8th June 2004

I would like to wish my boyfriend Rob a Happy 18th birthday. I just wish I could have been there for your big day. I will make it up to you, when I next see you!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Wednesday - 9th June 2004

The new CDs that I ordered from Play.com come in the post today. The two CDs were Two, by The Calling and 12 Memories, by Travis.

Paul very nicely give me a left into work. So it saved me having to cycle in again. Once at work it was a bit of boring night, because people were not really drinking that much.

Once back home I checked my email very quickly. I was only on the Internet for about 10 minutes. Which is not like me at all, most nights after work I am on it for at least 1 hour. Once I got in bed I watched Holby City and Yes, Minster. I love Yes, Minster I was pissing my self, it's just so funny.

Thursday - 10th June 2004

During the day. I played just played about on the Internet and watched TV. It was far to hot outside to do much else really. While I was on-line I uploaded photos of my boyfriend Rob to my wetsuitlads website. Next time he's around I will need to get more photos of him, in my new wetsuit, if it fits him.

In the evening since it had cooled down a bit, I went a walk with the dog. Then I spoke to my boyfriend Rob on-line for a while, before going a cycle to Tallington.

Once he had gone I went on-line and chatting to my boyfriend Rob on-line for a while. Before going to bed at about 12:00am. But I did not get to sleep again till after 2:30am, because Sam was watching TV again!! AHHHH!! I really wish he would turn it down at night.

Sunday - 13th June 2004

I got up at about 11:00am. Then I went on-line to check my email and do more work to The Gay Glasgow website. I added a poll to it, which takes a while the first time you do it, because I had to rename the main.html page to main.shtml, then update all the links back to that page, then upload it all.

Then at about 3:30pm. Mark and me went to Morrisons to get food and stuff. Then not long after getting home. Matthew came around. We chatting for a while, then both went a nice walk with the dog. Once back we watched a bit of the England - France game for about 30 minutes. Before going to The Willoughby Arms with Mark and the dog to get food. Since it was a nice evening we seat outside. It also mint we could keep away from all the people inside the pub watching the football.

Once back from the pub we chatted for a while, before he had to go to drive down to Gatwick Airport to pick up a friend of his. I did feel very, very sorry for him, because he had 140 mile drive ahead of him.

Monday - 14th June 2004

I got up at about 11:00am. I would have got all sooner, but I did not get to sleep till after 3:00am. Because sad Sam likes to watch Big Brother on Channel 4 and has it way to loud for that time of night. I could not get to sleep. The sooner Big Brother ends the better. I must be one of the only people in the UK who can't stand it. Watching paint dry, would be more fun, if you ask me.

When I got up I checked my email and did even more work to The Gay Glasgow site. It's now the most up-to-date it's been in a hell of a long time. This time I will just have to make sure I keep it updated.

Then I went out into the back garden and cut the grass, then give it water. Because it's starting to look very, very brown, when it should be nice and green.

When the post turned up, I got another two CD's from Play.com that I had ordered Thursday I think it was. This time I got Camino Palmero, by The Calling and A New Day At Midnight, by David Gray. I really should stop giving Play.com so much of my money, since I started to use them, I have spend over £190 with them!!

At about 6:20pm. I went a nice 30 mile cycle. I cycled to the A47, via Stamford, Uffington, Barnack and Southorpe. Once I got to the A47, I just turned around and cycled back home. I did the cycle in just over 2 hours, which I think is very, very good for a 30 mile cycle. My average speed for the whole cycle was 15 Mph.

Once I got back from my cycle. I give my legs and bum a rest for about 30 min's. Before taken the dog out a dog at about 9:30pm. Back back with the dog. I chatted to my boyfriend Rob on-line and played about on the net, whiling listening to some music.
