Very good thanks
Cricket on Friday, then spent the evening in the pub.
Lazy Saturday, was at a 50th in the evening.
Saw the new Planet Of The Apes yesterday, then watched Monty Python in the evening.

All in all, a solid 8/10.

Alt: Long weekend over the bank holiday, no idea where to yet, though.

A cracking weekend, ta
Down to Leeds to help the step-daughter move into her new house, involving beer, BBQ, gazebo and a truly excellent thunderstorm. More DIY on Sunday with a pub lunch involved too.

Today will be waiting for two more viewers on the house, one second viewing aqnd a cash buyer. We already have an asking price offer in so hopefully this can push it up a few grand more.

Office conference/cowboy thing tomorrow. I'm off into town today for a haircut and a stetson.

Gonna book a weekend at Centerparcs soon. Going for the top spec lodge with pool table and sauna

Weekend was really good.
Lots of lazing around and boozing and sunshine fun. Spent most of Sunday in a warm pool, watching movies on a mates garden. Drinking rosè wine.
And now the week has started well, as I got hit by a car on the way to my job and company policy says I have to take the van home. So a day off surprise.

Alt: off to bruges. Looking forward to it.

I did stand around calmly after it happened and exchanged details quickly and cleared the road at the first available opportunity.
I think he thought it was my fault, but as I was waiting to join a roundabout and he hit me from behind it seems rather unlikely I will get the blame.

We went to Cafe Spice on Friday evening, and Craft Beer in Holborn on Saturday evening with my in-laws.
Yesterday we watched Zulu for the first time - it were good, and put us in the mood for The Great Escape, also good. There's a young Harrison Ford in a non-speaking part in it it seems (Hitler Yute on the train at the end).

Tonight I dine in Wahaca, and have a late morning tomorrow.

Which is nice.

Alt: holidaying in Berlin, then to Warsaw, and thence to Krakow. Auschwitz lolz.

I have bought two more books this weekend.
When Honours is over, I have a minimum of 10 books to get through before I can buy more.

The week ahead is terrifyingly busy and stressful. But I get to pick up the kitty I adopted on friday, and the fella is coming home from Delft on saturday. So that's the upside.

Tangles! My perennial favourite yak-trousered hunt sab, how the very devil are you?
I stripped my car out almost completely on Saturday hunting down the cause of my lack of heating. After two hours of sweat streaming off my face and dripping into the gaping maw where the gearshift gaitor used to be, I failed! Haha, oh how I laughed.

The best news is I have another two hours of even harder graft ahead of me to get the job done! Oh, how brilliant, I love my life.

Sunday I wandered through London with the woman and ended up getting drunk. I hate tourists. I hate them. I hate their gabbly voices and their walking slowly and dodging their FUCKING cameras. I hate their blocking the Tube turnstiles whilst they ferret through their education establishment approved rucksacks looking for their ticket.

I was half suspecting it wasn't going to be the easy solution (two hours in the searing sun working in a glass box is the easy solution in this scenario), so it's ok. Besides, now I've got half the interior out it'll make it easier to do some of the other bits and bobs I've got planned.
