Mike and me got up at about 8:30am. Yes I know, it's not like us two at all. But we had to get up, nice and early, to get really for going down to London, for EuroPride. Once we had packed over stuff, that we needed. We drove to Peterborough train station. To get the 9:56am, GNER service to Kings Cross. The train got us, to London right on time at, 10:55am. Then it would do, since it's GNER. Yes I am, a very, very big fan of GNER.

At first we were going to get The Tube, to Oxford Circus, underground station. But the tube, looked, way, way to busy. So we made up our minds to walk, to Oxford Street. Yes you did hear, me right. Walk, which is something that I don't think, most people, in London really do. We did well, since we found our way, there first time. I did not need to look at a map, or anything. I did done that walk, before. But only once. And that was about 3 years ago. When I went, to London for the first time. With my BF of the time, David.

So once we got to Oxford Street. We called in at Marks and Spencer, so that I could get myself a sandwich. When we had a look around the Nike store. Then Hamleys, then some other places. Then we found the start of the EuroPride parade. I could had believe, just now many people were at it. I have been to two London Prides, before. But since this one, was a EuroPride, it was a hell of a lot busily. Just a normal Pride is. I don't think that I have ever, seen so many other gay people in my life.

The parade, went down the world famous Oxford Street, for the very first time. I just wish, that I had taken more photos, of the day. The ones, I did take, were not, that good at all. So if, your hoping, so see lots of photos, from the day. Then I am, very sorry, but your out of luck.

Once the parade, was over. We had a look around some more of the shops on Oxford Street. I also got to meet two of his mates.

Once we were done, looking around London. We got a train from Charing Cross station, to Mike's house. In the Abbey Wood, area of London. I was of course a bit nervous. Since I had never meet any of his family before. But it went well. Well, I think it did. I got to meet his Mum, Step-Dad and his two sisters. They were all are very nice indeed. In the evening, his family had a barbecue. I have not been, to a Barbecue, since I stayed in Nottingham for a while. So in other words, not since 2002. The Barbecue, was very nice indeed.

Mike and me went to bed, at about 12:00am. But I did not really get much sleep at all. Since it was, so, so hot. I don't think that it went below, 25C all night. Which is nice during the day, but way to hot for a good nights sleep.

My car would not start today. So after trying to push start it. Which did not work. But lucky my next door neighbour, had a jump-lead in there house. So we used her car, to jump start my car. I was so happy when it started up. I just hope that is the car battery and nothing else. As I don't really have the money, to pay lots to get it fixed.

So once it was going. Mike and me drove it to my local garage. They said, yes they think it's just the battery. But to bring it back on Tuesday, and they will have a good look at it. And tell me what is wrong with it. Once we were done at the garage. We went to Stamford, so I could pay last week's money into the bank. Do my weekly food shopping, and also fill my car, up with petrol. While Morrisons, I got my next door neighbour, some flowers. Since I had to do something, to say think-you, for helping to get my car going again.

So once back from Stamford. I give the flowers, to her. She was so happy. She said, that I did not need to get them. But I just had to get something, for all the help that she give me. So also give and a nice hug. And I had to give her a nice kiss. But don't worry, no I am not turning straight. lol. As I have a very loving boyfriend. Who I have no, idea what I would have done, with out him today. He stopped me from, having a break down, when my car would not start.

So that was day really. It's not been the best start, to the week, to say the least.

Mike and me got up at about 9:30am. Yes I know, very early indeed, for us too. We both hot out, of bed so early. Because one of my friends, Matt. Was very nicely coming over, to take double shot, photos of Mike and me, for my Wetsuitlads website.

Matt got here, just before 10:00am. He was early, which I am not use to at all. Most of my friends, are always late. So I was still in the middle of getting the house, a quick clean, when he turned up. So when he got here, I said sorry for the mess. Then he said, hello to my BF Mike, for the first time. Since he had never meet him before.

Then we set off, in Matt's car, to the place. Where I take lots of the wetsuit photos. While there he took at least 200, of them. So keep a eye on www.wetsuitlads.co.uk, for them. So far I have just added five of them. I will be adding lots more, in the coming days.

Then once Matt had taken, the photos. He dropped Mike and me, back of at my place. Then he set, of back home. So at this point. I really better, say a very, very big thank-you to Matt, for taken them for us.

Then I spend a good number of hours, given the house a much needed clean. Since it had not had a big, one. Since my Mum and Dad were, down last month.

Then after that I watched Neighbours on BBC1. Then I cooked myself some lunch. Then made a start of sorting out, the new photos, that Matt took for me. Then I went out a cycle. I did ask Mike, if we wanted to come with me or not. But he said, it's way to hot for him. So set off on my bike, just after 3:10pm. I only did a 12 mile cycle. I was going to go for a longer one. But it was so hot. I ended up, drinking all my water. So I had to cut the cycle short.

Then at about 5:15pm. I kissed my BF Mike, good-bye. I set off for a fun, evening at work. At the Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. Work was not, to bad at all. But the place, was, way, to hot to be wearing shirt and tie.

I got back from work, about 11:45pm. Then I spend the evening listen to Virgin Radio. It's great that Virgin Radio, is at long last on Freeview. It started broadcasting on Freeview today at 12:15pm. Just incase you, did not know.

Then Mike and me had some fun, with a new toy, that I got. I am not going to say that is it. Then we to bed at about 2:00am.

Only did one big thing today, that I feel that I should let you all know about. And that's I cycled to and from work, for the first time year. The cycle to work took me, 1 hour 29.36 minutes. With a average speed of 15.3mph. Which, I think is not bad at all, for a 23 mile cycle.

The cycle back from work took, me 1 hour 33.27 minutes. With a average speed of 15mph. So in other words, I got back in record time. I think I was going so fast, since there was thunder and lighting. So I just wanted to try to get back, as fast as I could do. As I did not realy want to get hit by lighting.

Then once we were done in the book shop. We then walked down to Morrisons. To pay some drinks and food. Then we had a nice picnic, by the River Welland. I wanted to do, something nice together. Since he goes away, on Tuesday. To Whitstable, to se his Grand parents. So I will not get to see him again, till next Tuesday. So in other works, the longest time. We have been apart, since we started going out. So back to the picnic. It was very nice just seating down, next to the river for a while. And just watching the world go by. I think Mike and me will need to do it more often.

Then after the picnic. We both walked back to were, I had parked my car. Then I took Mike, back to his house in Peterborough. I stayed for a while. Give him a nice big hug and kiss. I was sad, to go really. Since I had no idea, what I was going to do with myself all week.

On the way back though Stamford. I called in at Morrisons. To do my weekly food shopping. Then once home. I put all the food away. Then just played about on the Internet and stuff for the rest of the evening. I did do one good thing, that I have been meaning to do, for a while. And that is to open a savings account. Which I will try to put money into every week. For things like holidays, getting my car serviced and things like that.

Today was really just a normal Gordon type day. I got up at about 12:00pm. Had a shower. Then I give my bike a much needed wash. Then make myself some lunch. And eat it while watching Neighbours on BBC1.

Then I went out for want should have been a nice cycle. But for some reason, most times, when I go out a cycle. Things keep going wrong. I have had more flat types in last month of so. Then I have had in the last 5 years. So yes you guessed it. This cycle, did not really go to plan. First of all is pissed is down. So I got a wee bit wet. I did not really mind, the rain. As I had checked the weather forecast and looked at the sky. I had a feeling that I was going to get wet. So now, onto the things that went wrong. My cycle computer died on me. On one it was saying, I was doing some like 300 Mph. Which was no, way right. You can't even drive that fast. Never mind cycle it. Then it just stopped. The screen, was still showing everything, that is should. But it was not saying what speed, I was doing or anything. So after played about with, it. I give up. Trying to get it working.

So I cut the cycle short. So I could have a better look at it. Once home. Then have after a while. I give up. And mind up my mid. It was fucked. But's it's done me, very well. I have had it for about 4 years or so. I had a good look on the Internet for a new one. After much looking I made up my mind to get CC-CD300DW made by Cateye. I ordered it from Wiggle, it cost £71.99. So I just hope that I have gone, for the right one. So all going well. I will get it tomorrow or Thursday.

Then in the evening I was of course working at the dog track, in Peterborough. It was just a normal evening at work really. I did do, something that I had not done before. And that it to give another Gordon, that works there a lift home. It does feel weird, saying my name to someone else. You don't really get that many Gordon's.

Mike and me got out of bed at about 11:45am. Then we both had showers. Then we both went into Stamford. While in Stamford, I went to the bank, to pay last week's pay in. Then I got my hair cut at last. I had been meaning to get it done, for the last 3 weeks or so. But I kept putting it off. As I really hate getting it done. Then we went to Clinton Cards, so I could get my wee bother Craig a birthday card. Since it's his 23rd this Thursday.

Then we went to Morrisons. So I could do my weekly food shopping. Right now, it's not that easy doing my shopping. Since the oven, at home died. So I need to make sure that I get things, that can be grilled. Then I went to the Morrisons petrol station. To fill up my car.

Then once back home. I made a start on doing a new website. That I am being paid to do. I can't really say much more about it. Till it goes on-line. Then I spend a while, playing about on the net, and listening to some music.

Then at about 4:00pm. Since it was since. I put my sexy cycling gear on. And went for a nice 25 mile cycle. The cycle took me just over 1 hour and 40 minutes. Which was crap time really. I can normaly do that cycle in a far better time. But it was very, windy. So it was really slowing me down.

Once back back my cycle. Mike and me. Had ham, eggs and chips for out late lunch. Then we both watched Neighbours that I had recorded while, we were in Stamford.

Then I just played about on the net, listened to music. While Mike played some game on his laptop. No idea, what the game is.

Then at about 9:00pm. I went out for my second cycle of the day. I did a 12 mile cycle. I did two cycles today. Since I am way, way behind in how many miles. I want to, do this month. I want to do at least 521.8 miles. Since that's how many I did of August last year. So far I have only done 318 miles. So how iam going to do just over 200 miles, in just over 1 week I have no idea at all.

Then I spend the rest of the evening. Updating this website. Listening to the radio. And giving my great boyfriend Mike lots of kisses and hugs.

PS. Please check out "The Glasgow clockwork orange Subway Challenge" video, that I found on YouTube.

I am happy again. As at long last, I have my Philips 20" wide screen silver flat screen monitor back again. And since dabs.com fucked up. I have saved myself £43.39. They were meant to, fix it or send me a new one. But for some reason, they give me all my money back. So I had to reorder it again. Since I got it the first time, around the price as dropped from £317.23 to £273.84.

It's nice that I have saved myself some money. But I do, just wish that the fly's, had not got behind my screen in the first place. So I do really hope, that we summer comes around next year, it does not happen to me again.

Today one of my friends Matt and myself went for a cycle around Rutland Water. We only did the short route. Which is just over 15 miles. As he's not as fit, as me. Well, when it comes to cycling anyway. We did it in 1 hour 26.59 minutes, with an average speed of 10.7 mph.

In the evening after work. I booked train tickets, for going to York, with boyfriend Mike, next Thursday (5th October 2006). Which should be great fun. As I have not been there, since Rob and me went there, last year. Mike, as never been there. So if the rain stays, off it should be a great day. I am really looking forward to going to the National Rail Museum again. Yes sad, I know, but I really like trains.

It's my 27th birthday today. So please sign my guestbook, to wish me a happy birthday.

For my birthday, I got a Pure Bug TOO DAB digital radio, from my Mum and Dad. It's well cool. It's got a electronic program guide, something called ReVu that lets you pause and rewind live radio. You can also record up to 30 hours of radio, using a SD memory card. So it means, I will never have to miss, my favourite radio shows again.

My boyfriend Mike. Got me the "Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" on DVD. The new one, that Disney made last year. He also got new a very sexy t-shirt. With a photo of him, on the front of it, wearing a wetsuit. It's also got my wetsuitlads URL, on the front and back of it.

Oh and I better, say a BIG, BIG thank-you to my great friends, Jaco and Namir for driving all to way from Cambridge, to surprise me after work. They give me a happy nice card, and big cake, so I can get nice and fat eating it. A penknife and a USB computer vacuum.
