9th May - North West Weekend Teesside. It's a
shame I didn't manage to get there yesterday. What a fine set
up it is. What a great day it was. Had a few runs round the
course. Well, when I say I had a few runs round the course,
what I mean is I had a few runs round most of the course. I
made it as far as the acid drop a couple of times, but I don't
think acid drops agree with me. |

29th May - What a day, what a good job. We had an open

kayak, well he sat in one. |

4th July Independence Day Paddle Party - What
a good day. I say what a good day. Them Brookbank lads did us
a treat. Oh I had a go in a few of those boats. Too bloomin
small most of them, like paddling a saucer. Not like my big
barge. I'm happy with what I've got, but I wouldn't mind a new
boat. A new Paddle wouldn't come a miss either. |

16th October - Dear diary, I'm writing this early today
because I'm going out tonight. It was Euan's 40th birthday yesterday,
so he's having a candlelit supper tonight Had a grand day today
bit of a paddle at Chatburn this afternoon, but wait for it
dear diary, I'm off to Welsh Wales tomorrow. Mr Chairman's picking
me up first thing, we're off to Treweryn. Grand Job. |
| Monday
18th October - Oooooh. I am ashamed, dear diary. I am
ashamed. Mr. Chairman came round yesterday morning at 7 O'Clock
as arranged, unfortunately, I'm not sure I came round at all
yesterday. I left Euan's party at 3 O'Clock yesterday morning,
it was a great party…….I think. I should have known
better. Anyway, dear diary I was still asleep on the scullery
floor when I heard Mr. Chairman banging on the door. I made
it to the garage in Preston, lucky he needed petrol. Four times
I'm afraid we had to stop on the way to Wales. There was no
way I could paddle, I even felt queezy watching them paddle.
I spent the morning sat on the floor in the corner of the café,
The afternoon was slightly more comfortable, sat in Mr Chairman's
car. What a plonker I am. |
