Sat:
Off to the chilli festival where for the 3rd year in a row I'll try and acquire a taste for chilli beer and chilli chocolate and then resort back to some alcoholic fiery ginger beer. I'll also be stocking up on chilli oil called "the incinerator" if that stalls back again this year.
Sun:
Barbecue with friends

Trouble is I'd weigh about 30 stone within six months unless I did some serious exercise!
With the blog I gained about 3 or so kilos but thankfully they've shifted again.

Quiet one tonight having just discovered Sherlock on Amazon Prime.
Sat: De-weeding and general garden pottering. Out for dinner.
Sun. Go and dump a ton of napalm on my Dad's patio. Hopefully a BBQ and a glass of wine in the garden.

When the M25 is rammed starting before the M40 anticlockwise, I take a detour via Amersham and Aylesbury and catch the M4 via the A420 from Oxford

Thanks for asking.
I'm up north staying with the youngest member of the litter. I harboured ambitions of going to Crewe v Port Vale tomorrow but CAFC have done all they can to discourage me from attending. So a bit of DIY at the house, followed by dirty beers then curry. Working Sunday. Home Sunday night.

Sunday: Possibly making chutney and developing a new recipe for the blog. Preparing for blog's first anniversary next week and oh, another bbq

After a stressful couple of days last weekend I'm quite looking forward to doing bugger all.
Though I really really need to get on with updating my c.v. and doing something about finding a job.
