TT 2009

Well that's the TT over for another year.

It has been a good year for the bikers. A lot quieter than previous years and I've heard crumbles from many businesses that takings are down.

For the first time this year a new class was introduced for zero emission bikes. Very strange watching these bikes race. No sound except for the whine of their electic motors.

Back to normal life now until the end of August when the Manx Grand Prix takes place and the island is overrun with bikes again for 2 weeks.

Wife in a Blue One

Today I had the privilege of listening to a new sound. The harmonies of three British Royal Navy wives, collectively known as 'Wife in a Blue One'. They have just release this on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFNpYGVydq4 Their first cover song is 'Feel Like Home'. A Randy Newman song originally covered by Linda Ronstadt. Though this first song by Wife in a Blue One was recorded without any special recording equipment, I think they do the song justice. I wish them well. I know they will have a lot fun singing together. I hope all my friends out there will give this song a chance and share with their friends.?

Visual Basic 2008

Jip and I have been discussing our future plans and our future definitely lies in Thailand. I need to expand my programming skills. To that end, I dug out my Visual Studio 2008 disc and found I burnt it in March 2009! Crikey! I completed my VB course three years ago! I have re-installed VS2008 and started to refresh my knowledge of VB by working through MS Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step. So far so good; it all seems so familiar. Our plan now, is to work towards a move to Thailand in mid to late 2013. Plai's graduation ceremony is expected to be during the autumn of that year and we want to be there for that.
