Glad this week is coming to an end!

It's been stop start this week. From absolutely no quotes or jobs one day, to hardly coping yesterday! Quiet ish today too!

Sad memories too, as it is 12 months ago, Friday 13th that my Dad died! Miss him EVERY day, and hurt for poor Mum who is now alone without him!

Oh well

Lets hope next week is a stormer!

Talking of the Isle of Man, I might be going later this year, as there is a new race happening around the Streets of Port Erin, and my brother is entering it.

I think you might struggle for accommodation during TT week. Sadly lots of the guest houses and hotels have disappeared, I know my mates book up for the next year during the week they are there. I havent been to a TT for a few years, since they introduced spectator restrictions. But went for over 20 years without missing one apart from the one cancelled due to foot & mouth scare. You might be best to call the IOM Tourist Board, and they would be best to advise about this year.

Might be a good plan. It is certainly attracting some 'star' riders already!
