Almost Famous?

Considering it's a bank holiday today, it certainly leaves no rest for the wicked (that would be Phil and me).

First things first, and we have to go shopping to get supplies for next week's run of packed lunches and the like, so we head out to da shop and whilst we're there we pick up an Oxford Mail to see if the blogging article has made the final edit. A quick scan at the super market and I can't see it, but we buy a copy anyway to have a gander at later.

Back home and after I've unpacked all of the groceries we nip out on the bikes to see how long it would take me to cycle to work - about 20 mins or thereabouts, so not too bad at all.

Once home again we then set about giving both cars a good valeting, inside and out. I plump for a mixture of washing and hovering whilst Phil gets on with rinsing, dusting and feeding the leather seats. Finally we get to the pain in the arse bit, that being waxing. So with Phil sploshing the wax on I follow him around the car with a big fluffy mitt thing polishing the rapidly drying wax off - hard work let me tell ya, and or some reason I start to feel a little to akin to the Karate Kid!

After we've finished Phils car we then go out for a quick spin, and after a near collision with a motor cyclist who obviously thought being a foot a way from my side of the car whilst hurtling around a roundabout was a good idea, we head for home, just in time to eat the Jacket Spuds I'd put in the oven before we went out.

Phil manages to find the blog article in the paper after a bit more perseverance than me, I tend to just look for pictures etc :) We don't get our mug shots in the story, but I get quoted! Which is cool! I've scanned the article in as a JPG, but its quite sizey (500 kb or so), but feel free to download and have a gander :) I didn't get my URL in either, but I am convinced that WWW.THEBITCHTROLL.COM is probably a little to unpolitically correct to stick in a paper :)
