Re: Friday thread. The July heatwave one
Get home from Manchester tonight, trains willing.
Saturday marks the most important day of the year: my mum and step dad's barbecue. They procrastinated for years about splashing out on a barbecue, so in the end I bought them one. Now, once a year, and once a year ONLY!, it get wheeled out to great fanfare and all the family are summoned to attend and eat some burnt meat and a wilted lettuce leaf. It then gets put away for another year. That said, it does get the family together, and gives us something to chuckle about.
Sunday, probably getting over a dose of food poisoning caused by undercooked sausages.

Re: Friday thread. The July heatwave one
Today, print some stuff to sign and post. Try and get an appointment with a lady doc for hrt consult. Go out in the sun for coffee!! Try and have a chat with my brother. Chill basically! (Might try and do some stuff sorting out still!!)
Tomorrow - meeting a mate for coffee in the valley, then bimbling about a bit until I go see a doctor to get the medical for my coach licence!!
Sunday - Probably similar!
Downside of having loads of time to do stuff and no money for the fuel to go places and see people!! Hey ho! At least it's sunny

Re: Friday thread. The July heatwave one
Not a lot today but I might go to the agricultural show tomorrow.
Re: Friday thread. The July heatwave one
Today: took the bike to work for the first time. Mostly cos I've been busy with stuff and not had a chance to get out on it for a while, and for some reason was needed in the office on a Friday for the first time in years...
Got free lunch and cake though, so all good. Also made a dent in the communal office jigsaw over lunch
, followed by some pool (the new office is cool) 
Tomorrow: bonfire
Sunday: Fly to Romania, assuming Microsoft doesn't go tits-up again

Re: Friday thread. The July heatwave one
Friday: Tom Petty tribute band tonight. 70 miles away
Saturday: AC/DC tribute band at the same place (maybe). I have a 3 month *season pass* so I can go to any gigs between June 1st & first weekend of Sept. Here's the schedule:
https://wheremusicmeetsthesoul.com/cany ... ls/events/
So *Which Ones Pink?* next Saturday, also Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers on Aug 9th. Possibly Skynyrd Reloaded a week later.
Sunday:
Car meet early at Bobs Big Boy in Northridge, then the RockStore, followed by the Sagebrush in the afternoon. (taking the F350, too damn hot to ride)

Re: Friday thread. The July heatwave one
Quite the sizzler yesterday- setting up sound system for riverside festival, sorting marquee & decor....then taking it easy, dabbling toes in the river contemplating band I'm mixing tomorrow then playing with my band = revenge.
