A better night's sleep,
but still rather awkward as despite loads of after-sun I'm still
sunburned. Over a brekkie of toasted teacakes (not bad) the
first fruit of my loin came home for a shower. The hot water has gone
round at the Fudgery. Which is a nuisance for all concerned.
But it was as well that
he'd come round. I needed some heavy lifting doing, and he's a good
lad for that. We got the seats out of my car in readiness for next
weekend, and got the roof bars on to the car. We could have put the
top box on as well, but that will keep for a while. Whilst we were
doing this Alistair from two doors down came out to bandy insults
with us, so we borrowed his ladder to muck out the guttering.
As "My Boy TM"
set off on his way (his entourage had come round to collect him),
I then cleaned out the fish pond filter. It had got blocked. Mind you
it has been running for over a week; I was surprised it hadn't
blocked up earlier.
I then played Tetris for
a while to calm my nerves, then we set off to Singleton for a
birthday. As is always the way, there were several events and parties
we could have gone to this afternoon; a shame we couldn't be
everywhere. But over a dozen of us gathered to wish Sarah a happy
birthday, and to have a barby to celebrate the occasion. We had a
really good afternoon sitting in the garden. The weather could have
been better, but it certainly could have been worse. We enjoyed the
sunshine when it came out, and we sheltered under the gazebo when it
rained.
Kebabs, Key Lime pie,
burgers, Eton mess, four bottles of beer. So much for the diet....
And then home where we
caught up with watching episodes of Grimm. From what I could see from
comments on Facebook the rest of humanity was tuned in to the concert
to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. And from what I could see
from comments on Facebook I don't think many people were very
impressed with it.
Personally as someone
who's quite pro-Monarchy I'm rather concerned for Her Majesty this
evening. Prince Philip’s been taken to hospital. He's not a young
man. I'm hoping for the best, but can't help but expect the worst...
