All while I’m away

Everything I’m interested in and have been waiting for seems to be happening during the very small, two week window that I’m going to be on holiday.

I’m going to be spending the last two weeks of July, including my Birthday, with my in-laws at their new home in Northern Portugal - I’m really looking forward to it as the house is fab, there’s some stunning places to see and there are NO SHOPS for miles

But now I’ve found out almost everything I’ve been looking forward to is happening while I’m away.

First it was just the Harry Potter book - it comes out two days after I leave for Portugal - I can live with waiting for it until I get back of holiday as I’m not going to have THAT much access to media while away - I can probably avoid newspapers etc…

Then it was The Simpsons Movie - I’ve been looking forward to this since it was first announced and the bloody thing comes out the week after I go away on holiday.

I’ve just found out about a Top Gear special as well where the three amigos will be racing from Canada to the North Poll - 450 miles over some pretty tough conditions.

The Top Gear Special is on my birthday and my wife is taking me out for a meal - while I’m on holiday in Portugal - I’m a Vegetarian so, given my experience of Portuguese restaurants in the past - I’ll be eating omellete and a tomato salad.

Now I find that the BBC iPlayer, an app I’ve been RAVING about for the last year or so is due to be released on 27 July - still while I’m away in Portugugal and not able to download it.

There will probably be a load of other things as well that I want to see, do, watch or take part in while I’m on holiday - gotta love life haven’t you!

I’ll write more about each of the individual things when I’ve experienced them for the first time. This is going to be later than other people get to write about them but you will hear my opinion eventually.

I may still get to watch Top Gear as my Father in Law has Sky in his house and can recieve all the BBC channels - through a pretty big dish.
