Had a nice lunch with a friend in Kingston by the river today. Started at 1230 finished about 1630 then went on to a pub for a few more sips of wine. Stopped about 1930 and had a sneaky wagamama's on the way home.
Meeting another friend tomorrow for a mooch around the Wellcome Collection. Then off to the airport to see a chap about a promise, returning back bright and early Tuesday morning, straight into work off the plane probably reeking of alcohol.

It's a sign. They don't want you in London. Nothing personal, but London is full.Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostThe weekend that is, not the thread.
Doing anything nice?
I am trapped at home all weekend.
Welcome to Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza
In the usual Welsh council way, the castle hotel was refused permission to be developed for many years. Once permission obtained, the first works caused it to crumble blocking main part of town. Its chaos round there anyway, if road closures not lifted it will be even worse for visitors.
As long as Cardiff is fine, no-one cares....

I'll be taking my son out for driving practice, and watching the snooker. Also quite possibly drinking some whisky.

No plans beyond getting a slow puncture fixed tomorrow, and walking to the pub on Sunday. Oh, and maybe watching the Tour de Yorkshire pass by.
Yourself?
Slow Puncture
Awful descriptive term for becoming infected with AIDS.
Urban Dictionary: Slow Puncture
