Dot and Kirsten’s Bars Revamp @ theDogs

Got to say the new bar at the Peterborough Greyhounds, which replaces Dot and Kirsten’s Bars. They have still to come up with a name for the new bar.

Now really looking forward to when the restaurant get redone! I just need to make sure, I get photos of them. So I can post before and after photos!

Two of my favourite work lads off to University

Two of my favourite lads at work are leaving to go to University. Ben the one wearing the “Some people are gay. Get over it!” t-shirt leaves tonight. Harry leaves when I am on holiday in Cyprus!

Ben has been working at the dog track for the last two years. Harry only for a number of months. But it feels so much longer. Going to really miss both of them. But they will be back during Christmas time. So it’s not all bad.

Good luck to them both! BTW Ben is not really gay. Just lots of people think he is. So had to get him, that t-shirt as a leaving present :).
