Haha when we ever get there! It's an approved used but only from February! We got so lucky that some guy that's a regular for the garage always buys Jazz's but thought he'd try the new civic only to find he hated it and wanted to go back to a jazz. This thing is in pristine condition but now is literally half the price of the new ones because it was driven off the lot. Insane but lucky for us! I'm just pleased to have a car that's not 20 years old and on the way out for once!

Yeah they really are great! We're a Honda family 100%. Wasnt even going to buy today, we were just going to take a look and test drive today and we were going to try out some other cars as well but, ultimately, our hearts were set on a Honda

Went to the Greyhound Trust monthly walk today (in the pissing rain!).
Jimmy approached another dog called Frank, had a big sniff, and they walked side by side for 2 hours.
Later found out from the kennel managers that Jimmy hated Frank when they were in the kennels together and always had to be separated for walks, etc.
But today it was like they were pure besties, and it was so sweet.  The kennel managers were amazed at the change!

Did I tell you guys that my son is going to a camp that I'd focused on technology?  The theme is 3d printing, and he's assembled a 3d printer and is now learning to use it and CAD software.  He's crazy excited about the whole thing.   I got some pictures last night and apparently the evening activity was lock picking!  They had some burglary tools and lock cylinders with transparent cases.

I would have loved that camp at any age, but especially at his age (around 12, yes?)!  As an adult, I have learned lock-picking, built a CNC machine (similar to 3d printing, but subtractive rather than additive machining), and learned CAD/CAM... but I would have loved to get into these things much earlier.  Lucky kid!  :)

Awww!  :D I missed this post! That is awesome, Jimmy and Frank are pals now! What a difference now that they are happy boys.  :D

I have to admit that I was pretty jealous as well when I was dropping him off.

I've taken the day off Friday so I can go pick him up in the afternoon and the campers are going to have the chance to show off what they have done.

Is it a day camp or overnight type camp? They should bring US style sleep away camps  to the UK. There are so many good outdoor locations in the country to do it!
