View Full Version : Sunny Superb Weekend :D
Yesterday was FAB! My Brother has just passed his Phd making him a Doctor of some crazy Physicisness! *so proud* Sooo, Picky, my Ma, my Pa and I tootled up to Bristol and had a scrumptious picnic in the garden, played some wii fit and then went out to a restuarant to celebrate! Was great!
We bizarrely managed to bump into Desmo too - knew he was out on a stag in Brizzle but yeh! Didn't expect to see him and it was indeed fab to say hey-dee-lee! It's a small world isn't it!
Also, Puppydawg Trio was WONDERFULLY looked after by a sexy hunk. :) Thank you Lee muchly :) *wubs*
Today, has been blissful!
I have woken up refreshed, plonked on a load of washing, mowed the lawn, strimmed the lawn, planted some more carrots, done some weeding and then... I have been led in the sun reading A Long Way Down (something I have had since christmas and keep picking up and putting down).
We've had a bbq which was LUSH, I managed to make humous which tastes yummy (for once!) and then... more reading in the sun with my book.
Annoyingly my factor 15 wasn't strong enough and I now have rather warm backs of knees and bottom! Doh! I think when I strip down for the bath tonight I will look like this:

It's been lovely and relaxing and refreshing though. Really enjoyed it.
What have you all been up to this weekend?! :)

That was well funny. Was casually walking down the street minding my own business when all of a sudden I hear "Jaaaaaamiiiiieeee!!!!!!". Look over and see Pheebs and Pickers jumping over the little fence and running at me :D
Shame I couldn't spend a bit longer with you guys though :(

Ballcocks to this hot weather. I'm sat in front of 2x12000btu air conditioners rebuilding a couple of servers and I'm chuffing roasting.
Add to that the F1 is on and I'm going to have to miss the end of the race as I need to pick the other half up from Gatwich at 9:00 - and it's an hour and a half drive away.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Been on the beach alllllll day, loving the sun :)
And I zoomed past Bristol on my way back from Swindon.
doglet.heheeee :D
Had a lovely weekend. Didn't really do much yesterday, but Leon made me light box thing for my new lizard tank and I pottered in the garden and planted my tomatoes in their tubs. In the evening we went to a work colleague's party with a couple of other people from work. It was a gorgeous evening and a very good party. .
Today I've been in the garden with little Flo and managed to get my shoulders burnt despite hiding under the washing line in the shade. Flo has now discovered the catmint. Heaven help us! Oh and Kitten - those cat things don't work :( they're just to stop them ****ting on your garden, so she sniffs it but isn't repelled as such. Damn! We also had a lovely BBQ tonight, which was delicious and then watched the final couple of laps of of the Grand Prix.

I have a nice dose of suntan now!
Yay me.
:cool:
I hit the zoo and discovered that even the animals were taking the day off to hide from the sun lol. Mind you i was doing the same with my army surplus hat on hiding myself from the sun to avoid sunburn on the old noggin.

Enjoyed the sun today, but I've had a powercut all day - since 830am till about 10mins ago. REally not fun when you have a million and one things to do :(
I had a lovely weekend visiting MB and Aitch, meeting up with BBx, Pebs, Daz and Dee, and went to see the Foos :D
And now I'm absolutely knackered as that's the most energy I've needed in 2 months :p

we also had a super weekend
yesterday morning we drove up to jaspers families house - took 24 krispy kreme donuts (which were all gone by the evening) and he and his dad played around with the car whilst i lazed around and played with the dogs / cats. had a lovely meal out, i haven't laughed so much in a long time!
today we saw my family, had a bbq with the parents, my brother, grandma and my aunty and uncle. we're moving house soon, and they offered us some furniture (yay) and i got a bit tiddly on beer and took pictures of the lawn. we also drove up to the lickey end (fnar) beacon so he could take photos of the gorgeous panoramic view, and as lovely a day as it was - they didn't look half as nice as they should have. jasper and my brother had a game of badminton - then we've driven home.
i'm a bit pink, (despite the suncream) and a bit headachey but its been loverly and it's going to make it evwn harder to go back to work on monday :(
glad everyone else seemed to have fun too :)

I've had a niceish weekend, mum and dad's friend came down for the weekend so we talked about her wedding plans a lot. It was also my little sisters leavers prom, she looked gorgeous all grown up i nearly cried. So on Sat i was playing at driver, took her to get her hair done in town and her nails done, while she did that i went to Holyrood park and grabbed the rug out the car and read my book. I was on pick up duty as well so had a nice chinese with B, mum and dad, then got a call saying she was staying at someones house so not to worry about picking her up so i went to bed. Then at 2:30am i got a phonecall 'can you come and get me?'. So on goes the jumper, glasses and boots, and off i go to pick her up. Been knackered all day Sunday but better that than letting her stand around waiting for a bus/taxi in her prom dress on her own.
BBQ with the parents and finished my book. I lead an exciting life.

To be honest I completely wasted my weekend :o
Saturday I went to RedBull FlugTag! It was stupidly ridiculous fun, I then watched both Euro games on Oxford Street by which time I was pretty wasted so we went to Camden for more beer, I'm sure something else happened after that but I don't remember! I was gonna go to Stokefest on Sunday but I felt so rough I just sat in our 'garden' (patch of grass outside our flat). Early shift all week now :(
Saturday started out well - I was in South Africa and went driving around to look for animals and saw a Leopard munching on the remains of an Impala.
It went downhill from there though, I had a 5 hour drive to Johannesburg then a 7h30m flight to Dubai followed by a 6h30m flight to Heathrow.
The travelling was boring, but the week away was most awesome :D
saw a Leopard munching on the remains of an Impala.
*jealous* :D
Both :p
I'd be dangerous somewhere like that - I'd want to bring the kitties home :o
Gym. BBQ. Town. Kebab. Home.
Saturday; done.
Did nothing on Sunday. :) Wish I had today off - looks great out. :(
Both :p

So I shouldn't upload the pic of the Lion cubs walking right past the car then? :)
