Been to the inlaws for dinner on Friday.
Watched a hamster die and then bury said hamster on Saturday.
Been shopping.
Washed dishes.
Cooked.
Washed dishes.
Drank lots of wine (and am about to start this again).
Been for walk with dog.
Tried and failed miserably (along with his mother) to get idiot stepson to see that his actions over the last few days are going to have serious and horrible repurcussions.

On top of that I thought about building the futon base that's been in our loft for over a year. Then I looked at the instructions and though 'fuck it, that'll take far too long to do'. Maybe next week.

You're being remarkably helpful tonight aren't you?

Not too bad
The weather was fantastic. Went running a lot, ventured into Ikea for the first (and possibly last) time and ate a lot of falafel, baklava and yaki soba in the park.

Ha!
No, I live in Ireland, so when I say fantastic it's relative. Saturday wasn't stellar but morning was good and the rain kept off. Today was just brilliant though, really bright and crisp, the kind of day I really look forward to in Autumn.

I love those days
I take a lot of my holidays in autumn, just to enjoy the crispness.

Ten days off coming up and I can't wait.

Where are you in Ireland?
It's a while since I've been over but I used to spend a lot of time there.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Sun 26 Sep 2010, 20:35, Reply)

Dublin
Where have you visited?
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Sun 26 Sep 2010, 20:41, Reply)

Where do you want to know?
Travelled a lot on CIE/IR. Maybe I should whisper this but I'm a bit of a train travel enthusiast. So I've ridden on all the lines in Ireland.

Right
so you've almost certainly seen more of the country than I have. Good way to see a country though, except you probably didn't make it to the North West did you?
(Zoz prayed for twink on, Sun 26 Sep 2010, 20:56, Reply)

Sligo?
That's a bit North West.

And my little hobby has taken me to LA, and Detroit, but Sligo was the scariest...

I've taken photos of the old railway depot in Watts, not long after the Rodney King business.

Sligo, seriously, is the scariest place I've ever been.

Are you the only genuine newbie in a while?

You talkin' to me?
I'm no newbie...

If you're talking to Zozimus - he/she/it is a newbie but he/she/it seems sound.

Voted in by the very Ol' Skool although he/she/it could be Workboresme/Edmund/Bert.

But I don't think so.

Noo, I was attempting to reply to Zozimus.
He/she/it does seem perfectly sound.

Roota has yet to say yay or nay. Ages ago she mentioned something to the effect that judgment was pending but I haven't heard anything since. Maybe she's biding her time, waiting for cracks to appear.

Hello Mr Alexander
Maimed any hands recently?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sun 26 Sep 2010, 21:28, Reply)

My hand maiming days are over.
Mainly because I sprained both of my wrists somewhat horribly giving Big Eric and his cellmate a 'downhill racer' during my spell inside at the taxpayer's expense. I still haven't recovered; the ganglions are horendous so I've called a halt to all medical practitionary for now.

Apparently just the airport
La TD has been out with her friend today in central Leeds and it was fine.

I've driven four 737's (Bradford-Airport)today in the rain.

Isn't there a guy in a HHGTTG book that gets followed around by rain? Maybe that's me.

We're paying for this Airport (I assume you live in West Yorkshire) and it has it's very own micro-climate.

It's been OK up here all weekend.

Well I'm sure I'm happy for you all.
The Airport Stazi get cross when we have a smoke next to the bus-stops so I've had four smoke breaks in the rain at the Airport.

I'm on 15's for the rest of the week so I can just get my nicotine fix second hand from the polyester shellsuits getting aboard.
