    Last ones were Richmond on the Overground from Green Lanes, Trent Country park at Cockfosters (the end of the Picadilly line)

    MotoGP from Indianapolis, live or recorded depending on what else we get up to.

    BBQ if weather is good.
    We went out on the train to Hampton Court last weekend ... well worth it and cheaper if you book in advance online. Plenty to see there if you haven't been before.

    As for this weekend i'm buying a birthday present for the girlfriend and sorting out stuff for the move to Canada next month.

    With a 3-month old baby and 37C outside, stay at home, and maybe read something profound but boring to induce sleep like "Der Mythus des 20 Jahrhunderts".

    Much the same as last weekend: chilling in the garden with a glass or twenty of ice cold vino, reading on my new Kindle. Avoiding irritating clients. Cutting the grass today as well. Praying that my neighbour's "Spawn of Satan" grand-kids don't turn up to disrupt the tranquillity of my quiet space by morphing into screaming banshees.

    Will pop into the butchers and find out whether there are any interesting animals to burn on the BBQ for Sat.

    Might loiter around some street corners trying to pick up lonely women.

    Because if she's like my wife she wants to go sell the crap and purchase different crap from other stalls. Mine bought an inflatable snow globe christmas decoration at the last carboot she did (in April).

    I will be told my plans over a curry this evening I expect, think we will be doing a car boot sale to try and shift some of the old pushchairs and other items that are littering up the garage. Probably followed by a few trips to the tip to chuck away what we don't sell

    Sounds like you need a shed.
