Twistin' my melon man.
Happy Monday off topic.

How was your weekend, full of joy I hope. What will be the highlight of this coming week? I've got two days off.

Alt. The Greeks riot like girls, how should they protest?

Sunday bought mixed blessings
We beat our local rivals 5-1 at their place, but then I heard a friend had been taken to hospital vomiting blood.

Fortunately it turned out to be a bleeding ulcer rather than anything more serious.

Alt: I read that as "not like girls" and I thought that's a bit racist.

Morning Jeff.
How is your fur?

I don't have a highlight of this week yet, I can only talk about highlights in retrospect. Last week had a rather lovely highlight.

What are you sdoing with your two lovely days off?
(, Mon 13 Feb 2012, 8:09, Reply)
An excellent weekent, thank you.
Saw the G/F & went shopping Saturday. Played a benefit gig (with Pooflake) Saturday night - the evening raised over a grand for a local guy who'd had a stroke. Sunday was quality time culminating in a roast chicken dinner - all good stuff!
The highlight of the week? dunno yet!
How will you spend your two days off? Constructively or in a drink & drug fuelled haze?

Weekend was pretty fucking good, thank you for asking.
Smashed it with Stunzo on Friday, Black Keys on Saturday night (fabulous venue, pretty decent set with moments of excellence but nowhere near loud enough) and on Sunday had a splendid family outing: took my daughter with Lusty over to Lancaster Gate to have fun mith my mum(s), it was fucking superb.

The highlight of this week (apart from a low-key Val's Day dinner at home tomorrow OF COURSE) is (ALSO OF COURSE) to be found in the calendar under this Saturday's listings.

Well, I spent most of my 3 day weekend drunk, so I'd say it was pretty good.

The highlight of this week will be getting paid, as it's a rather dull week.
