This summerWhat's everyone's plans for the summer? Are you doing anything fun? Out of the ordinary? Special?
For myself, I have school for 5 days next week, I have a couple of 4-H judging jobs, I will work at our county fair then the hubby and I are traveling to Iowa as our oldest daughter is having her second baby in August! YAY! Get to play with the grandson and hold the new baby!
...Have 2 weeks of muggy hot storms and fire flies. . . whee! 
I am looking forward to it!

I'm heading over to the US, a week on Monday, for a wedding in Boston
The rest of the summer will be devoted to getting our spare room into someting resembling a nursery for the arrival of our first kid in October

Amsterdam is ace - only disappointment was the food. If you are a vegetarian there isn't much choice food wise apart from chips though...it's all steakhouses and grills.

Amsterdam is nice! Lovely places to wander around and look at buildings!
4-H is a youth org here in the States, kids do projects and then show their work for evaluation. Just about anything a kid wants to do can be a 4-H project. The popular ones aroud here are horses, raising market livestock, cooking, sewing and craft type projects. The kids also participate in public speaking and record keeping. I judge both those areas.
It's so nice to read about babies coming and marriages happening! Congratulations to all!

Amsterdam seems to be a popular place. I took Baldrick there once and after he begged, I let him sit across from me at a table in a small cafe. He was so grateful, his eyes watered ... as did mine ... but that was from the rank smell of having him so near me.
The wretch obviously felt at home bacause we witnessed an act of genuine poverty in that cafe. Two tables away, a group of some seven youths (university students no doubt) were reduced to sharing a single cigarette between them.
Baldrick felt a certain kinship with them, so I got up and left and went off to a flop-house, leaving Baldrick to wallow with those plebs.
Amsterdam ... huh!! And how many Amsters died to make that dam I wonder!!

I am just back from my trip to Boston. It was awesome!!
Just trying to catch up on everything as if it is not about the US, Israel or Bliar sucking up to Bush, then it doesn't get reported in America

Welcome back - Boston's a really nice city eh. I wouldn't mind going back there for a few days.

I was thinking of visiting Boston around Christmas time - is it worth a visit?

I was in Boston once, I was 9 months old so I don't remember it! LOL
Blackadder, are you SURE it wan't the fumes form a near by Coffee House making your eyes water? LOL

You obviously do not have a Baldrick as a family retainer. Ask anyone here. They've all heard of him, haven't you?
Come on ... your opinion of Baldrick please ... and be honest ... he's sub-human, so he has no feelings to hurt!

Well, got back from Cork in one piece. Really good city for a night out. Quite popular for Stags from what I gathered but wasn't noticable - plenty out but didn't see long trails of Stag and Hen Parites thankfully - I just wanted to have a good night out with a small group of friends not anything resembling Ibiza!
Managed to watch the Celtic match at a Celtic Pub not far from the City Centre, which was a really good laugh. Just asked the Taxi driver to take us to a pub where we could watch the Celtic match and he took us there. Really friendly pub. Even my friend who thinks footballs are the wrong shape and should be egg shaped enjoyed himself.
3 weeks and I'm off to Oban for my wedding then it's off to Dubrovnic for my honeymoon.

Sounds like a good time was had in Cork then, Cymro. So you're getting married in three weeks and then straight off on the honeymoon? I was planning on spending a week or so in Croatia this summer, I really fancy Dubrovnic, it never worked out though. I'm sure you'll have a great time there.

Hope so

I was staying in a little town just north of Boston called Marblehead, but managed to get into Boston itself for a couple of days. The whole area is really nice.
It was also boiling. One day was 107 degrees!! I think I stayed in the pub that day. Although if you are planning a visit in the winter azzuri, I am assured it gets a lot colder than Scotland and snows a lot as well.
If anyone find themselves in Marblehead, I would recommend Sweeneys as the best pub to drink in.

Boston is typical of its Colonial past. It's a dump for criminals and the lower orders with less than a tenth of a working brain.

Can I ask ... what do YOU think was lacking in your early education that turned you into a semi-literate turnip??
It's just that if you know ... I'll have it added to Baldrick's children's education ... when ... IF ... he figures out what else it's for, apart from stirring his tea,
