    Friday getting over the lurgy
    Zippy and Mr Zip and coming to dinner tomorrow evening, so prepping the menu (beans on toast). Need to put a tent in the garden for them or if I'm feeling lazy just some sleeping bags in the garden shed

        Not quite as next Thursday is a bank holiday here: Fronleichnam which is a bummer for me as I have to go home from Münster, sit around for a day losing an honest days wage and then drive up to Köln to do a days work. Actually this time I might say bugger that (I had to do it a couple of weeks ago) and take a 'brückentag) and have a couple of days away with Frau D.

            I am just relaxing over the weekend....... and then popping off to Lisbon immediately after......

            When I say relaxing... I am actually currently fretting and doing a headless chicken act..... because my Passport is somewhere in the bowels of the Saudi Embassy waiting for a Visa Stamp....... and (obviously) I need it to get to Portugal..... and even if/when the Agent* gets the Passport there is the little issue of getting it to me (with or without Saudi Visa) with it being the weekend et al....... I have visions of a Motor Cycle Courier spread across the A1 with my Passport soaked in petrol and a small flame licking over the tarmac towards it!!!!!

            Anyone fancy doing me a favour and popping to the Saudi Visa Section......

            *NB Not Agent in the Pimp sense obviously - I wouldn't trust a Pimp with my lose change let alone my passport.....
            <thinks> Mmmmmmmm but I've handed it over to a faceless jobsworth in an A-rab embassy......</t>

              I'm waiting for my new computer to arrive and then playing with that tomorrow. Sunday & Monday if it's nice I'm working on playing with the classic cars.
              ...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...

                    I'm minded to decapitate a good few Dandelions, make sure there's no too much dog-poo on the path, and find some cinder for the pot-holes in the drive...

                      First half of the weekend done. Took MrsB down to That London to see the new impressionist stuff at the National Gallery as well as see Les Mis last night and the Chelsea flower show today.

                      Waiting to see what the weather does tomorrow and whether the sniffles MrsB has acquired turn into something nasty or not.
