I'm off on holiday

Yep, I'm going to Turkey. Not to watch the game but to spend sometime with the family before Sam goes back to work.

I'm not a big fan of babies on planes but Sam assures me that the wee one will sleep once she's feed.

We're staying with my Dad and step-mum at my Dad's holiday home. It's quite large (3 floors plus a basement) so we can hide away from them if we have enough. On the plus side my Dad knows the area and the locals and he's more than happy to babysit.

My first priority will be finding a bar which will show the game. A bar I feel safe in. I've been to Turkey before but never had any trouble. I'm sure I'll be fine if they let me into the country.

My holiday reading.

Bored with "100 years of solitude" and extremely unimpressed with "The god of small things" I had to take a trip to Waterstones to get some books. Tempted to buy some books on ancient Greek mythology to get in some oh-so intellectual jibes at the Turks, I ended up in the History section.

Taking me back to my youth I picked up "The Iliad". I think I enjoyed reading it when I was a lad, but I'm not sure.

Next up is "The Templars". All about, and I quote, "the dramatic history of the knights templar, the most powerful military order of the crusades". I'm sure that'll impress the locals, the front picture depicts the naughty knights stewing up some moors.

I also found a battered copy of "The Soldiers Return" in the bargain bin near the till, so I nabbed that as well.

My bike is still at the dealers after some muppet reversed into it. Luckily I caught the culprit who is looking down the barrel of a £2000 repair bill. Serves the daft fucker right.

See you in a weeks time.
