Morning MontyI had an excellent weekend, thanks for asking.
Spent it in Yorkshire with the missus, had a lazy Friday night, a nice walk (with obligatory pub stop) on Saturday, ate swordfish on Saturday night, then spent yesterday watching football and chatting to a friend in a few different pubs round Leeds.
All in all, a rather good weekend.
I feel a little worse for wear today, but it's nothing that won't clear. How about you?
My week ahead is thankfully short, as I'm off to London on Friday.
