Today I went two cycles the first one was to Stamford and back again. The second one was to Castle Bytham and back again. I did two cycles to get my bike computer to hit the 1000 mile mark. I so happy now. Now by the end of September I am going to aim to have it, up to at least 1,300 miles which should be easy to do.

I spend a number of hours in the back garden. We cut down a very, very big bush. I can’t believe now much better the place looks now it has been taking out. It also means that I am going to have great fun, burning it all, in next number of days.
Once I had done doing the gardening and had time to cool down a bit, I went a cycle to Stamford. I have now done over 980 miles on my cycle computer. So it looks like a will hit the 1000 mile mark, before going to Scotland next week.
Once I got back from Stamford, I made a quick meal, before going to work at the dogs. Lucky they have got all the problems sorted out with the tills. It was a bit of a boring nite, because not mainly people were in. But I know that Wednesday night, will more then make up for it.
When I got back from work I spoke to Matthew on-line for a while before going to bed. I could not believe just now hot my room was. Luckily I got to sleep in the end.

I went a cycle to Langtoft, it’s the first that I have cycled there in my life. But I know that I will be doing the cycle a lot more, from now on. Because it’s the village that Matthew stays in. I did not tell Matthew that I was going to cycle to see him. He looking very happy to see me. When I got there, he was outside washing his car. I was there for about 30 minutes before I had to cycle back home to get ready for work.
Work was not 2 bad. But they did have very big problems with the printer on the till at the bar, meaning that we did not get any orders coming though the printer. So we had to go back to the old way of doing things, in other words, back to writing down things by hand. Things got so bad at one point we even had Richard, one of the people who owns the place, taking drinks down.
I was glad to get back home. I just hope that things get better on Saturday night.
Thursday – 10th July 2003
Matthew and me went to Stratford-upon-Avon for a day trip. Stratford-upon-Avon is the birthplace of William Shakespeare, for people like me who did not know, till Matthew told me. It was his Mum’s idea that we go there. I will need to thank her for the great idea.
It was a really great day out. Stratford-upon-Avon is a great small Town. While we were there we went a walk along the river. Had a look around the shops etc. We were going to go into the place were William Shakespeare was born, but we did not want to pay £9 each to get in. If it had been £5 each, then OK. But not £9.
On the way back from Stratford-upon-Avon we got a bit lost. But lucky we had a look at the map and worked out how to get back home.
When we got back to Little Bytham we had some fun, because going to The Willoughby Arms for the third Thursday in a row to get food. It looks like it’s going to become a weekly thing now.
When we got back we chatted and watched Eastenders on BBC 3, before he went back home.
Wednesday – 9th July 2003
In the morning I had my theory test. I failed it, but I was still, very, very happy about it. I got 33 in the multiple choice select, out off 35. Which I was more then pleased with, because you need 30 to pass it.
I failed on the hazard perception select of the test, which you need at least 42 points to pass, I got 35. So just wish me good luck of the next time, that I do the test. I will let you all know, when I pass it.
I would of course like to say a bit thank you to Matthew for taking me to Grantham to sit the test in the first place.
When we got back from Grantham, I re-installed his laptop, because it keeps playing up. I just hope that I have fixed all the problems that he has been having with it, but only time will tell.
Matthew went home at about 3:00pm for a while to some studying. But he come back at 5:30pm to give me a lift into work.
In the evening, I was working at Peterborough Greyhound Stadium. It made Saturday night, look like a very easy night. So many things went wrong you would not believe. I think that Ste (the guy who does the bar), was getting very stressed out. But he was not the only one.
I was so glad when the night was over. Just to think that I stopped drinking at the start of 2000. But tonight I just had to have two drinks, to help me calm down.
Monday – 7th July 2003
In the morning I had a driving lesson. It went not 2 badly at all. I went a drive into Oakham. It’s got a very busy main street. Which I am not really a great fua of, but I will need to get use to busy roads if I want to pass my driving test. I still think that I should have passed by September. Which has always been, my aim since I started late April.
In the afternoon I cut the back grass and give the house a bit of a clean. Booked train tickets for going up to Scotland on the 24th of this month. I really looking forward to it. It’s will be the first time that I have been up since April.
Matthew come around in the afternoon for a while. He could not stay for long, because he had to go and pick his Mum up. He also got me a copy of the new Delta Goodrem album called “Innocent Eyes”. He is fast turning into one my the sweetest guys that I know.
Then I went a drive to Asda in Grantham with Mark to get food. Just don’t ask how fast I was going on the A1, you really don’t want to know.
Once I got back from Grantham, I went a cycle to a small village called Carlby, which is just over 4 miles from Little Bytham. I so happy now, I have got my bike computer over the 900 mile mark. It now reads 905 miles, if you really want to know. Meaning that I will have it up to 1000 miles before I go up to Scotland. Which will make me, one very, very happy guy indeed.
Sunday – 6th July 2003
It was a long day indeed, but a very good one. It all started with Matthew and me getting up at 5:00am. We got up so early because we were going to watch a Triathlon with someone that we know called Ashley Allen taking part. He did very well indeed. In come in at number 43 out of over 150 people. Which is very good indeed, because he had ever done a Triathlon before. So well done Ashley :).
In was also a really good day because I got to see lots of guys in wetsuits, which was one of the main reasons that I wanted to go. The best looking one was number 43, called Lawrence Fanous. Now he did look hot in his running, swimming and cycle gear. I only got one really good photo of him. But it was only the back of him. I would love loved to have got a photo of him, with his wetsuit on. He’s the sort of guy that I would love to model for my Wetsuitlads website that I am working on.
When we got back I felt very sorry for Matthew, because he to go to work. While I went to sleep for a number of hours.
I was a bit pissed off, because I said that I would cycle down to see him at 6:00pm. But for some reason my alarm did not go off. I have a feeling I may have set it for AM and NOT PM. I still went a cycle, down to see him. It just mint that I did not get there, while he he was still on his tea break.
When I got back from seeing Matthew at work. Mark and myself went to The Willoughby Arms to get food.
Wednesday – 2rd July 2003
When I got up, I had a shower etc as normal. Then I cut the back grass. Then I walked the dog, I think she had forgetting what it’s like to be walked, it’s the first time that she has been a walk since Sunday with the weather being so bad.
Then in the afternoon I went a cycle to Stamford and back. I got there in record time. At times I was doing 30 Mph and that was going up hill.
Then at about 6:20pm Matthew come around. We sit in and listened to some MP3s. Before going into Peterborough, to meet up with some of his friends. We all went to Pizza Hut to get food, before going to the Showcase Cinemas in Peterborough. To see X-men 2. I really enjoyed the film. I now will need to get the first X-men on DVD, because I have ever seen it.
I would like to thank Matthew for one of the best evenings, that I have had in very long time. Oh and of course his friends 2.
Monday – 1st July 2003
I booked my theory test today. I am not going to say when it is, just in case I fail it. But WHEN I pass it, I will tell you all about it. So you will need to keep an eye on this page.
Friday – 15th November 2002
It’s been a very good today. David and me met up with one of his friends that he has been speaking to on the net for a number of weeks. His name is Damian, he came from Manchester by train to see us.
David cooked us both lunch, we had pasta and chicken. Then we all went into Liverpool City centre to have a long look around the shops. There was lots of very nice things in the shops, but for once David and me were both good, and ended up not getting anything.
Then like last evening, I had fun taken photos of my David. This time I took photos of him in my sexy white cycling top. Better still I even got him handcuffed while wearing it. Then after taken the photos, we had some fun!!
