I'll again so probably not much. Might try and visit the brick library in Luton to try and find a suitable facing brick for my Tandoor. Also try and get some more planting done up the allotment, and get some more seedling trays in the incubator.
Taking SY02 out for dinner Saturday night (recommendations for a decent ruby in north London welcome).
Build the solar powered robot the kids got for Christmas.
Maybe play some blackjack with aforementioned kids.

You might need to have a google for something more exotic but I know you can get quite a few varieties as plants, I've seem scotch bonnets for example although I can't recall where.

Thanks, and have a good one yourself. Thursday was a bank holiday here so I basically started on Wednesday with a concert in Gleis 22 in Münster where 70's punk legends from Belgium: The Kids were playing, brought back memories! A surprise was the support band, Les Marinellis from French speaking Canada who were really rather good. Yesterday was relaxing at home. Today is a bit of shopping, late night shopping day here where they always put on a show, so some new glasses for Frau D. and maybe something for me (although I think I went over budget in Münster during the week with many new clothes.) A few drinkies with some old friends this evening. Down to Heidelberg tomorrow as there is a rather good spice, herb and chocolate shop there and I need to stock up. May pop out to go see these guys from Finland in the evening after footie in the afternoon. Sunday, weather permitting which I am led to believe will be good, will be a trip up to Wetzlar to stroll around the town and the Lahn.

Originally posted by doodab View PostYou can get a chilli plant in a pot from Waitrose for about £3, well worth it, we had one last year and I still have a good bowlful of dried chillis to get through. Sadly it didn't overwinter well so I've had to buy another.
Corn takes up a lot of space for what you get, not sure I'd bother with it again although I have to say roasting them freshly picked on the barbie was a treat.
I need to sort my veg patch out, it's just a mess of weeds at the moment. Sadly I'm not really up to digging much, I'll need to get my dad to bring his machine down and invest in some more horse poo.

Originally posted by hyperD View PostI'm going to spend most of the time in the garden planting corn, tomatoes, coriander, rosemary, mint, chilli and basil. I'll also start some Woodfordes Wherry homebrew and possibly some pinot grigio wine.
I forgot it was a bank holiday, not that it matters to me now.

Originally posted by Scrag Meister View PostWe are going through Basel, so may see NAT if we have time, we were going to Como but think we are heading further west initially to Lake Maggiore, before heading for Venice and the Bologna to tour the Ducati factory. Highlight is probably a long weekend near Mugello to go and see Valentino Rossi do his thing in MotoGP at his home track, then Florence, Piza, Genoa, Monaco, Nice and then up through central France on the way back to Calais.
Quite daunting, its the longest Euro trip we have done and also on our own without euro tour veterans in attendance.
I'm hungry now. I might have to see if I can arrange one last binge eating holiday

Thanks for asking!
Tonight, not much. Probably watch a film with Mrs MUN. Maybe the Winter Soldier again as she has a serious thing for Captain America. I thought about getting a CA costume but I might actually get ripped limb from limb ... although it would be fun ...
Tomorrow -
Friend's stag night. Paintball, bowling, pool, drinking (although no alcohol as I am driving).
Sunday -
Church, to babysit.
Take the kids somewhere fun for them.
Fight practice, I have a new sword and a new buckler to use!!!!! We also won the national melee tournament last Saturday which was fun so it should be a happy, enthusiastic practice.
Monday - a charity raft race. Mrs MUN is on the team and I (although with mini MUN and micro MUN) am on support and will be looking after the children.
You?
