The Rest of the Weekend

After my early start yesterday I got on with lots of household chores, but still managed to fit in a reasonably long soak in a hot bath - but Mendi was too poorly to scrub my back :@( before taking Alexi, Ivan and their friend Josh up to Nottingham. Ivan and I left the other two in the thrall of the Games Workshop to indulge in a quick bit of retail therapy – Ivan had saved up to buy Spiderman for the PC (not the movie version) we then recessed to a Starbucks for him to crash through the game on my laptop whilst I giggled at the truly awful sex scenes in Peter F Hamiltion’s latest offering – Mispent Youth. They have got to be the worst I have read in any genre – Isn’t there a competition that “rewards” badly written sex scenes?

Ivan and I moved venue to Pizza Hut for lunch and then collected the boys where I came in for a bit of hero workshop from a fan of the recently retired Warhammer Fanzine - Warpstone (I edited it for a couple of years). Tee hee!

We got home to finds an invite to go to Pixie’s landlady’s for a BBQ and Easter Egg Hunt. Panic ensued as Mendi had already agreed to go and see a friend of our – Fleur – who lives in a gypsy wagon. We went our separate ways and the boys and I had a great time at Liz’s. She’s even offered to host my birthday party – I’ve now got 3 venues to evaluate!

Mendi arrived for the last hour or so of the party and all got home at about 20.00 feeling very, very tired. ZZZ

The Week Ahead

I’m working down in Oxford today and did not enjoy the drive down as I am feeling really woozy and full of cold. I’m certainly not looking forward to the drive home.

After today, the week just gets busier: tomorrow I have 4 audit interviews and then on Wednesday and Thursday I’m back in Oxford (at least it’s not out of the country). I’ve already decide to stay overnight in Oxford on Wednesday, but I am committed to going out for dinner with an Italian colleague who is a total personality vacuum. I think I’ll book and early dinner, get rid of her and then mooch around Oxford on my own – I wonder what I can find to do in Oxford on a Wednesday evening?

I’ll be back in Corby on Friday for more Audit interviews and then it’s the Weekend – Yay!!!
