red arrows, re-enacting, combe

been in combe, oxfordshire all weekend, well saturday& sunday. we went to blenheim palace and watched some ppl re enacting a battle for a bridge, german SS trying to get over it, US para troopers in the frontline, english soldiers providing "Backup"...yeah thats what americans are good for....a spitfire came to rescue everone, very impressive to see a plane so close, shame that flight shows arent legal anymore in germany. started to rain and cas had to go back to catch her flight so we missed the red arrows and lots of other planes, coudl see quite a few from the garden tho.
will try and find a plane display thingy in/near manchester, shoudl take soph afterall she was with the aircadets for a while and knows how a jet enginge works and now she also knows how a motorcycle engine works. oh and also she can destinquish between boy racer 2 strokes and real bikes i.e. 4 strokes..yeah!
dont know if i liek the idea of re enacting, certainly the commentator guy was crazy. "you will never be fogotten blah blubb blah" about veterans. dotn want to be dis repectful but well...ppl die..ppl are forgotten this is how it goes, there are lots of heroes in this world we dont need to keep remembering WW2 veterans more then well other important ppl....obviously they did do soemthign quite important but still...well....they were normal ppl so the "normal" war crimes and stuff will have happened. no way they didnt rape girls and i would bet quite a substantial(not a sh*t load) amount of money that there was a fair amount of torture happening.......nevermind....

living in the coutnryside is nice..its pretty there...bristol is pretty...uploaded some pictures taken on the clifton downs, want a BBQ and a bunch of friends to go and sit in the sun and all that...a crate of grolsch would be nice too.

my bike crossed the 34000km mark on the way to combe, bristol <-> combe is about 130km, no other itnrestign stats..petrol price 91.9p per litre
