Sounds like a typical British weekend to me! Enjoy your downtime, and I hope the weather clears up a bit for you.

Today - WFH, currently sat in the Volvo garage having a warranty repair on the wife's car.

Sat - Not much I don't think, possibly getting nagged to start decorating one of the bedrooms so may be paint hunting. Watch the Eng / RSA game in the evening, not having high hopes but you never know! Most likely wine will be involved.

Sun - Laze about I hope, nice roast for dinner I hope :thumbup: . No doubt an element of wife deliberating over itinerary for our hols in a few weeks.

Not much this weekend tbh.

Today - Got one school visit to do then going to get my food shopping done, then off to the office in the sticks to train a fellow techie how to do sharepoint migrations. Will hopefully get away from the office by 3 as it's a 1 and half hours drive away on a friday and i want to be back by 4ish to get some take away food as i shall be frigging starving by then and get in the studio early to do a new mix.

Sat - Bugger all.

Sun - Cooking roast chicken for the parents. Going to try doing some honey roast carrots this time to add to my roast cooking repertoire. Will then hopefully clean the car and have another session in the studio.

Never rains in the studio...;)

Wife out tonight and not sure if i'm dropping off, or picking up, but possibly neither. If neither a bottle of wine and a film methinks.
Tomorrow hopefully oil and filters change on the AT, but rain might stop play? So I might start stripping wallpaper? Out for dinner in the evening?
Sunday dunno yet, but the weather looks doesn't look too bad, so maybe a run out somewhere with the mutts...

Today and tomorrow are to be howlers,so I'll probably do a bit more organising in the garage and I've a couple of things to do to the H1.

Sunday looks to be a dry day,so if we aren't washed away by then,I'll maybe steal a while on the bike.

Friday: Working, finishing at 3pm. The sale of my Mum's house fell through for the second time a couple of weeks ago so back at square one. Viewing today at 3pm and more photos being done next week, so...
Saturday: Tidying up at my Mum's and doing a tip run of garden rubbish which is totally sodden right now so not looking forward to getting that in the car
Sunday: Hopefully (weather permitting) out with a friend who is picking up new BMW R1250R tomorrow so we're having a running in party. I must say that the R1250R looks really fugly compared to my Street even in the triple black colour scheme :lol:

Tuesday 28 degrees then back to this.

Nothing today but a 50 mile trip to Grangemouth for an archery competition on Saturday. Looking forward to the competition but not the trip.

Then just try and figure out time zones to watch the Moto GP and F1.

Today am bimbling about in the garage, giving the trusty old orange bike a once over, as it has been sulking in the garage unused for the last month or two while it's younger sister has been getting all the rides- it's getting a proper run out with the Jolly boys down south tomorrow. Might also dig all the ZX6 original plastics etc out of the loft, give it a service and put it back to road trim ready for sale, we shall see

Tomorrow is a day on the (possibly just a teeny bit moist and slippy :D ) lanes of southern England-followed by curry and beer tomorrow night - the weather is looking a bit questionable so the jacket and troos will get a full dousing with the waterproofing stuff today too, just in case..... :think:

Sunday- Dunno yet, aside from the usual daily dog walks etc- maybe more garage stuff with MotoGP on in the background

It's currently raining. Full on raining :( :(

So the current plans are,

Finish work at 6pm, then not much then go across the road to watch the rugby

Tomorrow, sort some stuff at home, think of stuff to do (cross stitch and possibly sewing) then go watch the rugby across the road - record Stricty to watch when I get back from Rugby!).

Sunday - similar but minus the rugby! I have just been given some proper Madagascan Vanilla pods, so will probably try making some more viennese whirls to share on Monday :D :D
