    Yay! and some added Woo! too…

    Got home tonight and Gif (the bestest cat in the world – FACT!) wanted food, so I fed him (anything for the easy life). So, while putting his bowl down, what did I spy? (no, this isn’t some kinda flashback to the 70s for us Brits) Give up? 🙂 A full case of beer I’d forgotten about! 😀 This can only be made better by winning the lotto tonight and fulfilling my dream of {censored} {censored} with a {censored} 🙂 Well, we can dream huh? 😉

    Ever notice how weekends just turn into a drunken blur?

    No? oh, it’s just me then… Excellent weekend though – my usual thing of a quick beer Friday lunchtime, pop into town to take care of bills, then do a bit of shopping, back home, housework, bath and ready for the night didn’t happen, some mates were in the pub so I had the brainwave of parking on Harriett’s drive and picking the car up the next day… Heh. And so, I got very, very drunk Friday 🙂 apparently I turned up at Harriett’s about 7pm, staggering around mumbling to myself. She said “I just sent you a text” so […]

    (Not) A lazy Saturday…

    Have I been busy today or what? Housework, housework, housework, beer, watch some TV, housework – that’s me today 🙂 The house actually looks (quite) tidy for once…still got to sweep and mop the kitchen floor AND clear up my room, but on the whole I’m happy with my efforts today. Got beer in the fridge ready for the Spurs v Man. Utd. game later – job’s a good ‘un! Can’t stop eating today though – this is usually a sign that my sister is pregnant, but I think I’m just being a glutton to be honest. Oh, and I […]

    The V weekend (edited version)

    Thursday night: We finally got going at 7pm, chugged along the A14, M6 (stopping at services ‘cos Tricia was bursting for a pee, and drinking Stella does not help this. Nor apparently, does me talking about gentle mountain streams, but I digress…) Found ourselves outside the Bradford Arms about 2 miles from Weston Park along with a convoy of other campers etc. The nice pub people didn’t mind us all camping in their carpark for the night (although looking at the mess left in the morning*, they probably do now). After the pub stopped serving and kicked everyone outside, the […]

    I'm back from V

    No major injuries too 🙂 (well, my back is killing me ‘cos I actually DANCED MY FUCKING ARSE OFF!). I’m desperately in need of a bath (had a poo* when we stopped at some services – pity the next one in after me…I’d saved that all weekend 🙂 ) Top act I saw of the weekend? Pendulum without a doubt (although it was this point my back went), Killers were awesome as ever, Oasis had a great set Saturday too – I reckon I managed to see about 35 bands, drank a metric shitload of alcohol, slept very little…and had […]

    A great weekend…

    Kathy came down Friday (her birthday), so it saved me doing the 1.5 hour drive each way… And so – took her for a meal Friday night – was very nice :). I even took her shopping in Cambridge on Saturday, AND Inever complained once (heh – earnt myself mucho brownie points there let me tell you…) Another meal and a few drinks Saturday night, and onto Sunday… Decided to goto the Royal Oak in Hail Weston for dinner – as Ewa (my lodger) was around, I asked if she wanted to come too. So off we all went. Lovely […]

    A hectic week

    So, Monday I was up in East Midlands Airport, back to the office about 3.30 – relatively easy day (if you disregard lugging the test rig on and off jacks). Yesterday, or yes…up at 5 to get to Stansted for my flight to Spain (Girona). Was about 11 local time when I FINALLY got my security pass and could go do the work. I must admit though, it was lovely being on the apron in glorious sunshine, so I took my time and had a good play was very thorough in testing and inspecting the rig – similar to this […]
