I have an old schoolfriend coming to stay Saturday night. Depending on where we decide to go, his visit will probably require some managing. You see, the thing is he's Jamaican & he speaks in a heavy patois. But he's white! His family have been there generations. We'll have to avoid certain areas of Bristol as anybody hearing him will assume he's taking the piss & we'll get lynched!

Got the afternoon off (paid - gift from ClientCo, bless)
So I shall plumb in the "new" ebay second hand dishwasher.
Then I shall sulk and have a beer when the plumbing has gone wrong and the kitchen is knee deep in water.
Tonight is having the neighbours round for a barbecue and a few beers and chilling in front of my chiminea.
Tomorrow is DIY.
Sunday the "outlaws" are coming over for a barby and a few beers.
Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.Comment

£10 paddling pool from Argos, beer in the fridge... oh yes, welcome to chavsville.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

For some reason I've been cajoled into doing a carboot sale on Sunday, to get rid of the mountains of baby clothes I have. I am scared I will punch someone.
Otherwise, as little as possible.Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

Nice dinner tonight, sitting in the garden tomorrow. BBQ tomorrow night - might ask the. neighbours. Sunday I plan on washing and polishing Wilma, our 1949 Buick. Then sitting in the garden some more. A really lazy weekend and the first one for ages. Even more deserved after some family argy-bargy this week....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...
