What are you doing for the Easter weekend?

[Ticktock]

Maybe, I'd never heard of it until this week. Sounds a bit weird to me.

Can't beat a lovely bit of cheese on toast...

I'll be working. The web designers took 2 weeks longer than was planned and the site needs to be up by end of the month.

Well we were thinking of getting the train up to Hamburg for the weekend until my bloody in-laws phoned and 'invited' the whole family to dinner in their favourite restaurant, which is crap, on Sunday, which basically blows up any hopes we had of a trip away. We shall try and make the best of the rest of the weekend, cycling, eating, drinking and lazing about.



Actually, they're very nice but boring as hell; most of them. Sister in-law number 2 has a large chip on her shoulder about the Tester family's relative wealth. Silly bint; I helped her set up her business doing flower arrangements for restaurants, hotels and weddings, plus courses, helped her into a contract with a michelin 2 star restaurant to provide all flowers for them and just as she was starting to make some real money out of it she stopped due to pregnancy, left her customers in the lurch instead of arranging an alternative supplier or getting an employee to serve them, therefore lost the contracts and won't get them back, and now she whines all the time that Lady Tester wears expensive dresses and we go on exotic holidays. No point in saying 'well you could have done that yourself if you'd used my start-up capital and my contacts properly' because she'll only fly off the handle and accuse us of being elitist rich bastards who don't care. And TBH we don't any more.

Great bloody fun.

Thanks for asking.

I'm going to Paris for the weekend. Fingers crossed for sunshine!

Apparently the correct form in dealing with poor in-laws is to ask if she has a tattoo across her lower back.

The risk is that she'll show it off and we really don't need to see her flesh.

Is that what the young people call a slag tag?

Or a suity-booty, if that doesn't make you want to retch too much.
