I thought all week that I had band practice today but I don’t so I suddenly got a free Saturday. Result. I’m going to catch up on tidying and cleaning, napping, playing with my cats, doing some recording then go for a 10k run later on. Also probably continue to look for a house to buy.
My wife’s band are playing at a local open air museum today so I’ll be taxi for that, and get a free visit to the museum so can’t complain at that
I need to go shopping. On a bloody Saturday of all days. Or I can spend thirty quid on takeaway and go when it’s quiet on Monday. I haven’t decided.
Well so far I’ve got out of bed and sat on the toilet scrolling through Reddit posts… yes I remembered to lift the lid.
Lunch out with former work colleagues (we all left the original place!)
Chess games, massage, swim, and then later I’m meeting a friend for a curry and we’re going to see one of my fav bands! Will be a good day
Decorating the Christmas cake, making yogurt, pumpkin pie and a cheeky wank; not necessarily in that order.
Work today in Penzance Library. Should be good as most days are.
Then when i get home ive got a new drum mat to put down under my kit.
So all in all should be a good day.
12 hours at work, but it beats shopping with the Mrs.
Exposure therapy in Oxford.. 😨
I’m trying something called HHC today for the first time.
I’m quietly excited, but I think in reality, I’ll be left somewhat gutted that I bothered.
Early Gym. In my sixties so weight training vital. The 4 mile walk/ run there part of it.
Granddaughters coming over from Singapore at Christmas. Look to buy some toys on Facebook marketplace. Second hand toys for not a lot of money lead to meeting some very nice people. Grandsons live in Finland too, so we renew our play stock then give them to charity. Do buy a few little things new as prezzies but they can’t carry everything back.
Bit of decorating later. House is minimalist and decluttered. Hate the idea of oldies living in clutter. Just a bit of painting.
Back to a different gym ( lovely new council gyms on a franchise) with wife later. She does her routine, I do different ones to AM).
We’re not fitness nuts but people in their sixties really need to keep strong- more than when in your 40s say. A gentle walk won’t do it.
Right, off to gym…
I’m going to buy a ridiculous coat which I don’t need and I will rarely wear but looks incredible when it’s on.
Kind of want to go to a craft fair but also don’t want to deal with crowds. I had to pop to the local retail park yesterday morning to go to the post office and I genuinely thought people might come to blows over parking spaces. Maybe I’ll stay at home and do some crafty stuff myself.
Coffee machine broke so have to get a new one.
Going to Stratford Westfield, which I think might be the worst place on Earth. No soul. No sky. It’s like being trapped in a browser that just all ads. It’s go zero redeeming qualities. I’d even rather go to Dubai or Kidderminster than Stratford Westfield. I truly think it is the worst place imaginable to go for anything, I want to spend as little time there as possible. We have to go because driving a big item home. I’d leave via trebuchet if I could. Stratford Westfield is deadly radiation for the soul. No character. It’s the astroturf of destinations.
Working at home. Kid is off to dance class. Mrs is going to check in on her dad.
Cold water swimming this morning then a day wondering around a Victorian Christmas market.
I’m retired, so Saturday is ‘just another’ day. I kind of miss that snuggly, warm, contented, first-hour-of-the-weekend feeling I used to have when I was still working.
Having said that, to turn that thought around, on a positive note, every day really is a Saturday 🙂
So today I’ll be gardening, doing a bit of art, and cooking roast beef for dinner.
Going to cut grass.
Daughters birthday, she’s seven! So we have a lady coming over to do a slime session where everyone gets to design and make their own slime.
As this is a new to us first home purchase I will also be spending the whole day in my head redecorating and trying to figure out how to stop our porch which forms part of the downstairs entrance near the base of the stairs warm.
My Sons football match.
Attempt to clear out some more old clothes and charity shop them along with clearing the recycling out.
Off later to spend the weekend visiting an old friend. Will be the first time I’ve seen their new house so extra specially looking forward to it, particularly since I have not been super active on the social front the last few weeks
just woke up, going to meet my friend to go and go round a Christmas market 💚
Going to Birmingham German Market this afternoon 🍩😁🍺
Apparently I am going to be putting Christmas lights up along the eaves of the house. I don’t really want to but it turns out my opinion on the matter is irrelevant.
Off for a nice long adventure with our golden retriever then it’s a nice coffee while the lights and tree go up. Later it’ll be a baked camembert with some port and the prisoner of Azkaban.
Taking my daughter and wife to karate, I’ll do the food shop whilst they’re there then we’re going to see Moana 2.
Wife’s having her friend over tonight so I’ll be gaming later.
Gotta pick up a new bed this morning then my whole day is free. Wanted to have the kids come and stay but their mother has planned a day with them so I’m probably gonna end up day drinking. Living the fucking dream /s
Wander around the wildfowl park in Pepperstock with a bottle of scotch
I woke up last night planning my work day only to remember that it’s actually the weekend, which was a delightful revelation – however it still took me ages to get back to sleep as my brain refused to stop thinking about work issues.
A day of driving around dependents to lessons, trying to avoid being involved in putting up the Christmas lights outside and the horror of trying to think of things for people to get me for Christmas (other than nice socks) – I really don’t want/need anything this year…
Running step-daughter back to uni in Cardiff, then popping to Firestorm Games with the missus, see what games etc we need
Running an open day for some lock repairs in Leeds City Centre for Canal & River Trust! Full of cold so hoping to sit in the van all day
For some reason, I have “agreed” to do a Parkrun this morning. I will let my wife and her friend go on ahead whilst me and the dog have a nice gentle stroll for 5k.
Todays is fake Christmas with our friends , many ales , many wines , many cheeses , beef wellington and to my wife’s dismay Chris de burgh on repeat all day
Buying mince pies so that at one minute past midnight tomorrow morning I can eat them. (I have hardly eaten any yet so I’m pretending that I’m keeping to Mr Trellis’s frankly ludicrous “rule” that they must not be eaten until December.)
Husband has his Christmas work Do tonight so I’ll be washing his nice shirt and trousers I bought for him and sending him on his way then watching a horror movie and eating crap.
My son has a golf lesson this morning, then it’s Christmas tree day. We got a real one delivered the other day, so it’s finally ready to decorate.
Work for me
Breakfast at the Waffle House in St Albans
Bit of shopping
Watching the Lionesses at Wembley this evening
Staying in waiting for a tumble dryer to be delivered. Might stare at the dog, if he stares at me.
Christmas get together Pizza and quiz at church tonight. Those 3 words are the best things with best buddies to me! I will fill my day before then with building my Lego Christmas tree and writing a quiz for friends next week. Basically, it’s a quiet Saturday.
Going to watch Wicked at the pictures with the other half, then I’m off to Reading to catch up with a friend. Should be a nice day! ☺️
Going to a day disco
Have to disconnect my old dishwasher, load it into the car and take it to the “reuse and recycle” centre (aka the tip).
Probably wash the bedding and make the syrup for another batch of cola. Managed to find some frozen yuzu peel in an asian cash and carry yesterday, so might see if I can make an oleo saccharum from it and make a lovely asian-inspired citrus drink from it.
Got a stall at Glamis Castle (Highlands) selling my wares. Hoping its busier today as last night was so quiet.
Like a zombie film with a Christmas Soundtrack.
I got jolted awake at 5:30am by a deliveroo driver ringing the doorbell. I didn’t order anything… Yup, wrong address!
This morning I’ll be fighting off the end of the wonderful flu I’ve had. I’m hoping to have enough energy for band practice and then going to see IDLES at Ally Pally! I will be broken by tonight haha.
It’s Christmas tree day!!!
So incredibly excited
Off to buy more coal and wood then putting up the Christmas decorations. Later tonight I should imagine we’ll have a glass of sherry and a mince pie whilst watching White Christmas to kick start the Christmas period.
Can’t wait 🎄🎅🏻
