A mixture of heavy rain and thunderstorms.

So it's going to be wet.

Coming from the Gulf that should be brilliant fun. Just sit in a bar with walls open to the element, enjoy the sticky humidity and breezes, drink lots of beer and eat spicy curries.

If i'm honest I'd quite like that. Lots of nice warm rain, some storms, thunder and lightening (Awesome), random all day sessions at the bar.... Yeah you can't get out but hey.... shit happens. Like a wetter and warmer snow in. Take a lot of books.

What itinerary did you decide on - where you going in SL?

My Keralite colleague just laughed and said the monsoons in the south are bad so what did I expect.

You two are right and fundamentally, we'll still enjoy it.

This is a chance to chill out, relax, read books (attack the new kindle), lie around and for me to completely switch off from a mental first half of the year. Without being a total wetty it's been a pretty awful year and the thought of just being her and I with nothing or nobody else is just wonderful. I'd prefer sunshine but you're both right - fudge it.

First time for everything but we're staying put. Just doing 5 days in a hotel in Bentota. Will see about some day trips but if we go mad for Sri Lanka then we'll just go back another time and 'do it' properly if that makes sense.

May I be the first to offer my congratulations for 9ish months time.....

Not if they're both on all day drinking sessions.....

But before we get baby Scamp there's nine months of wedding planning threads

And what happens after a day in the bar.... a night in the sack!

So what name suggestions are we thinking....








Sorry Scamp.

Autonomy

Fair.

As mentioned by a few people - Galle is only an hour away, no need to book a trip in advance, just get a taxi on the spur of the moment etc. It's really like nowhere else in SL. Dead easy to spend an afternoon walking around the little (quiet - no SL madness here) streets. Really good food options (Fortaleza, The Fort Printers).

If you'd been there in three weeks we could have met for a pint as me and Mrs Auto will be there....

How about:-

Kanslari or Alkarsin?

Or maybe Beatton or Battone?


(Did you see what i did there)?

I would have enjoyed that. I'm nicer in person.

It's bliss. Sunny, breezy, waves crashing.
Galle is a good idea, thanks.


No baby Scamps though. Gotta marry her first. Not a proposal holiday either before it's suggested....

Millhouse

What's stopping you?

BEVS

Hurry up.

IKnowNothing

It's worse than mission and her holidays....

Come on, Scamp, let her make a honourable man out of you.
