This is not going down well me having days off with no plans for them. Relaxing is a plan, of sorts. Yesterday I ran 10km in the morning, was quite pleased with that. Until I saw other people's runs that is. Nephew looks to have done a spontaneous 20km.
I also did the lawn and some weed killing. I am not a gardener, no matter what I do it looks worse.
Today some small jobs around the house, done quietly so as not to disturb wife who is working from home. Actually more done quietly so she forgets I am here and doesn't find me more jobs to do. Maybe some more light gardening, trimming the bits of garden that are overhanging the path. Then some washing, ironing, listening to music, but eventually going to the pub. About to reach out to friends see if anyone else has a preference. My friends I like to go to the pub with most don't like to go to the pub I like to go to most, but we'll see. I did go to the Potting Shed briefly before tea yesterday, so I could say I'm done for the week. However I would like to go back there again today, it's a nice crowd and I know I'll see other friends there I'd like to spend time with. I wouldn't mind going on a bit of a pub walk this afternoon too, will see what friends have in mind.
Tomorrow will be a good day, planning on skipping parkrun to get an earlier train up to London. Then a relaxed shop. We will be window shopping for coats for one boy, just getting ideas, but hopefully not spending London prices for the same thing we could get at the outlet. Never know though, we might see something better, and even the outlet price for this particular coat he has in mind was more than I'd spend on myself. Other boy has his own money in hand to spend in Forbidden Planet. I also saw a 2000ad t-shirt that I'd quite like. Wife might get new shoes, and we'll find somewhere nice to eat and drink, but not sure where yet.
Another trip to London in the week, I can't keep ducking out of commuting in. This week it works out, with T1 going to a gig, so I'll go to office, then meet him, see he and his friend get into gig OK, then travel home with them after.
All assuming the war doesn't head in this direction.
Exactly twenty years ago today, a David Devant gig that I didn't enjoy much but I can't remember why. It's recent enough for me to have actual contemporary blogging about it, but still no real clues. Actually with some digging surely I have the date wrong yet again, as this post from 7th March stays I stayed in and watched TV the night before so what is going on? More research needed.
More free energy today, as there was on Wednesday. Then I managed to set the timer to use it while we were out and I can do it again today. Sign up here to join Octopus Energy 1.
