on the brighter side..

On a more cheerful note, the rest of the weekend was lovely!

Beautiful hot sunshine (well apart from when you're on a train crowded with fat sweaty rugby fans) which was fabulous. managed to get some exposure to sunlight without burning, thanks to my new transparent spray on sun protection. I can do my own back! How cool is that.

Saturday was mostly spent on the rugby. left house at around 11am, wandered into town to pick up some bits and pieces (including a new bra, because I didn't have a strapless one and my new red vest what I bought to wear to the game didn't look right without a bra under it). Had time to kill before the train, so we went to the Walkabout and had lunch. I was very brave, and had the chicken noodle stir fry thing. And it was very nice. then we chilled out outside in the sun (I actually did some sunbathing!) before getting on the train. Then there was rugby, then there was drinks in a pub in Twickenham, wandering round Twickenham trying to decide if we wanted to stay there and eat or just come home, before getting back on a train and coming home. We had Mr Cod for dinner in the end. The Thames was still over its banks in Twickenham, not by much, but an appreciable amount.

Sunday was a day of being useful. First off, we tidied up the garden, putting LRP kit away and such like. The Marquee roof had been out on the bathroom roof all weekend drying out, so we brought that in too. Then I pulled up lots of weeds, and we moved all the rubbish from the back to the front (old furniture etc). We put the bench in a decent place, which meant we could put the table out properly. Now I have a real garden.

There is a definite need for some sort of feature at the bottom of the path though, as there's this path which goes down the border to the holly, but it kind of ends in a composting heap, and doesnt really go anywhere or serve any purpose except to look rubbish. we've currently got a huge green barrell there (the one we used to store arrows in) but it looks ugly. Some sort of statue, perhaps, or a water feature maybe.

All that remains regarding LRP kit sorting from Fayre is to fold up the marquee and get it back in the shed, and to wash the dishes and hand wash some mud off some kit.

Should get it finished in time to start worrying about Renewal!

Work has been kind of crap so far this week, the girl that replaced me in my old role of invoicing has been signed off sick, which means I'm having to do my old job again this week, which sucks loads, cos I hate doing it. unfortunately, there's only me and Shelley who can do it and she's too busy. So its all a bit stressy and rubbish. But I will get through it.
