Hi Spongebob,
I'm usually awake in the early hours and would loved to have joined you for beer. However, last night, I slept through. Sod's law ain't it.
I hope City win and you give them dandelions what for. I don't think I'd trust myself with a petrol strimmer. I've sustained enough leg injuries with my feeble electric model. One day, I'll learn not to strim, in outdoor Crocs, no socks and shorts. I end up looking like I've self harmed and cut my ankles.
I can fully empathise with the toilet seat fitting problem. If you ever see a man wandering around the bathroom section of BandQ, with a template of a toilet seat drawn on a wall paper off cut; it's likely to be me. Be honest mate, were you fixing one of the toilet lids because you stood on it whilst fixing the bath room light. I've done that before. π
I make Frank Spencer look like a DIY expert.
My stepson's over from Liverpool for the weekend. He's staying with his sister who lives nearby. Yesterday, the wife was inconsolable that her little boy (who's 35 years old, 6ft 4", and over twenty stones) has abandoned her and opted to bed down there instead of at ours. I'm less perturbed as he eats and drinks me out of house and home. Anyway, we've been invited over today for a hot finger buffet. What the hell is one of them? Does it mean fish fingers or do they not have enough cutlery?
I'm looking forward to it.
My bet is, that mummy's 'ickle boy, having spent a night trying to sleep on a couch in a shared room with two snoring and farting dogs, and being climbed all over at day break by a young neice and nephew; will be regretting his choice of accommodation. The chances are he'll be heading back to ours tonight. π
As it's almost impossible to get a taxi around here, and as everyone at the family gathering, including us, will all end up well oiled, we've decided to do the six mile round trip by train. The wife is much posher than me and will object to me travelling on public transport carrying a couple of crates of Stella. So I'll see how many cans I can fit in a rucksack. I shall also pack a stash of my own grub, in case the hot finger buffet turns out to be luke warm and thumbs down.π
I hope everyone else also has a great weekend.π
