Norm Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 What's been your best bit for today? For me, today, it was going to Albert Einstein's house in Caputh, Germany, and having a tour round. Even got to sit at his desk! Great experience. So come on Kickbackers, what was your highlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boof Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Discovering that if you scratch a sow on its side, just behind its foreleg it'll fall over and grunt contentedly is my son's answer.

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Was able to slip away for a quiet single pint while the other half was shopping. Three other guys sitting by themselves clearly in the same situation, and a gorgeous barmaid. If they had all started ballroom dancing, Dennis Potter esque, I would not have batted an eyelid.

Jambo dans les Pyrenees Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 My favourite so far Haha. I live in a house with wife and two daughters which can be bit of a war zone at the best of times. The dog and I have formed a mutual pact, sometimes he and I go looking for each other just to check the other is ok. On Friday night, he had clearly had enough and had his "lets get the #### out of here face on". Cue an hour of walking on the beach chasing a stick, both returned tired and happy.

Guest jonesy Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Walked up to the top of Allermuir by 6.45am after dropping the wife off for her early shift. Either that, or the slow cooked pork in cider and mustard that we had for dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Did our usual, bi-weekly walk into Italy this morning, had coffee and pastries, bought some brilliant groceries and walked home again. 23km round trip. Spent four hours on a beach this afternoon. Thankfully the temperature has dropped to 29 degrees compared with last weeks ridiculous 34+. Fantastic.

Sydney Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Breakfast at The Kempinski Hotel Jakarta, superb Great hotel. Great breakfast too. My highlight was watching my 9 year old son's beaming smile as he walked off the cricket pitch, retiring not out after scoring 21, knowing that his team was about to win the Sydney U10 T20 Winter Cricket competition. They did win, with 4 overs to spare and he won player of the match. The other highlight was wearing shorts during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
