The Weekend - yay

[TheFaQQer]

Taking the girls to ballet in the morning, then to my parents for the weekend. Church Christmas bazaar on Saturday morning / lunch / afternoon.

Come home Sunday.

MrsF is selling at a craft fair on Saturday in Halifax, then relaxing at home without the three of us for the evening / Sunday. Normally she is shopping with her mum this weekend while we go to my folks, so it's our pre-Christmas tradition.

my lad is 18 and he plays drums in a local band. He heard one of the tracks from Close to the edge and some ELP and he was very impressed. He reckons they used techniques back in the 70's that arn't used much in modern stuff.
He was rattling on about off-beats and quarter notes or something
So when I told him they were still touring, and we could get to see them, he got very exited

I bought some prog rock albums to see what all the fuss was about after seeing a documentary on BBC4, IIRC Carl Palmer commissioned British Steel to build a drum kit from stainless, when asked if he wanted 1/4 or 1/2 inch plate he thought thicker would be best, it arrived weighing in at 2.5 ton and needed a reinforced stage to use it.

I've weedled out of that one by getting a total refusal to dance one step from both of them a few weeks back. Their mother took them last week and they danced like a dream.

Means I can do a bit of non pestered digging in the garden in the morning, followed by rugby in the pub

Took today off, after taking 4 hours to get back from work last night and the train taking me an hour to get into Glasgow this morning then seeing the chaos at Queen Street for the Edinburgh shuttle I just called it a day and phoned in. Bloody rain.

Going to get royaly drunk this afternoon.

I don't mind the ballet trip - DD1 goes into her lesson. DD2 plays with friends while we wait. I chat with the other parents. An hour later, DD1 comes out and has a snack before we go home.

Sadly no, but Pogle jr is cataloguing her fossil collection in preparation for her Brownies collecting badge!
