Following wife around chav collection malls looking at shoe collections that would have made Imelda Marcos proud...
... oh, and cooked an entire curry from scratch including the mango chutney, onion and tomato salad, cucumber & mint dip, lamb madras, chicken kashmir, garlic nan and peshawari nan, bombay potatoes, caramelised rice and home made kulfi ice cream.

World of Warcraft with the missus
With a few breaks for sleeping, eating, biological needs.
Formed a new guild.Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Went to lake Windermere..big mistake. Could not find free parking . Ended up in a gravel lot and paid 5.50!!! for only 4 hours!!
Ate some crap chips..had some decent coffee and tea though. PLayed with the little one - always fun! On way home, got stuck in the usual taffic jam.
On Sunday, repaired all the mortor joints in the pathway in the front of the house...which the wife didn't notice and splashed water on - there by weakening the mortor. Watched F1 race...not bad actually --there was some passing on the track for once! The evil MS didn't win!
Saturday...went with wife to Preston. Got little one's passport photos done...try getting a 10mth old to sit still---now that's a challenge.McCoy: "Medical men are trained in logic."

So thats why "my end of the world" was so busy with tourists/caravans/southerners, etc blocking up the roads..Went to lake Windermere..big mistake.
Did a good walk - Dow Crag, near Coniston, very scary, was more like a rock climb (without the ropes and crash helmet).
Never taking the missus up there again, she was giving me dagger eyes half way up..

Try Keswick and Derwent Water. Much the same thing as Windermere but without the hoards of day trippers. If walking isnt a option with the nipper then the drive over to Buttermere via Honister Pass or via Stair is well worth it for the scenery.Originally posted by lilelvis2000"Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Went on contractors "business" weekend in Prague. Best beef stake a beer I’ve had in a long time.
Back at Heathrow the underground was closed and insufficient buses and taxis to meet the demand. Long queue to get on the Heathrow express, two and a half hours to get into the city, longer time than the flight."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
