I'm heading to Eger today to meet up with local deaf friends and other members of Sinosz. This'll be the first time I'd have driven for nearly an hour here. I'm gaining confidence but really do need to ramp up the kilometres. We're taking the dog. Hope he will behave.
It'll be interesting to see if they talk about the Hungary v. England match.

Only two people asked about the football and didn't know the score or what happened.

Great photo

The dog was well behaved. Took several photos but seems only possible to upload two!
Joetography - photos from smartphone not my normal camera.

An older lady from the deaf group took this. She had mobility issues and myself being with dog had a walk around whilst everyone went inside. We managed to understand each other.

It was a great day out. We were in a bit of a rush and didn't set the Satnav properly. The destination was showing as 374km away!!! Stopped and reset to Eger, then stopped at a petrol station looked up nearest car park to the castle and input it to the Satnav. Thanks God the parking meter accepted cards!

Brilliant! Glad you enjoyed your day!

We had alot of people staring at us .... with a happy smile courtesy of our Archie! He turned heads everywhere! I think he's got a good chance of becoming a heart throb!

Fen Tiger,
I notice in the photo that Archie is wearing something other than a normal dog collar. Is he a 'hearing dog' ?

That's a K9 Julius harness. We've never felt the need to have a specially trained hearing dog for the deaf. The training is ongoing and you have to spend a weekend at their training centre once a year to ensure the dog doesn't forget it's training.

Feeling quite annoyed my Satnav was set for minimum use of toll roads and we ended up on the M25. It was a very short stretch but we're expecting a fine. My UK Garmin satnav would have directed us a different route. Never mind.

My satnav (waze) has an 'avoid use of toll roads' setting.
Perhaps minimum use of toll roads is not quite the same as avoid use.

There doesn't seem to be any other optio unlike my garmin satnav.

I have satnav but don't use it very often. If I want to check how to get somewhere I'll google it first. You usually find the search gives you several options.
