Sunday 26 July - Town, Warhammer, Apple, Wetherspoons, Beaumanor Hall

Off to town this AM. Nats going to the GamesWorkshop on Silver Street to play Warhammer 40,000, Deb and Han are going to the Castle Museum. After dropping Nat off I went for a lust around the new Apple Store in the Highcross Centre then for a couple (3) pints in Whetherspoons. I really should wear a condom when I play with an iPhone, iPod Touch or Mac, the stains are so embarrassing. Luckily all the other Apple Fan Boys are suffering from the same problem; so we all just look at the floor, shuffle out and try to avoid eye contact. As you will see, from the photo, we exited as one and left the place as empty as a ghost town; I must stop cumming here week after week.

Whetherspoons was nice, quite cheap and filled with the elderly, I felt right at home. Joking aside, it's nice to sit in a pub with a book knowing you're not gonna get bottled by some pissed up arsehole; I'll never go to another Women's Institute wine tasting so long as I live!

Picked Nat up at 1:30 and walked to meet Deb and Han at the car which was parked on Highcross Street.

After lunch we drove Nat to Beaumanor Hall for his weeks YHA Do it 4 Real outward bound course. Met Brandon, from rugby, in the car park with his parents so we left them both with the camp counsellors and drove home. Below is a video of the kind of things they would be doing there.
When he got home Nat told us that, among other things***, he'd completed the John Muir Award
