Alison and I have come to stay with my parents for a couple of days. Well, that is to say we got here yesterday and are going tomorrow. It's half term so Ali isn't at work and I've taken a whole bunch of time off so we're having a break which is very nice. We had an interesting drive yesterday (30mph in 2nd gear up 15% hills anyone? Talk about your scenic routes...) and then had supper with my family, less my brother, and Ali's mum who had dropped by too. So that was nice.
Today I've fixed several computers, making this something of a
Busman's Holiday but nevertheless. After that we did a bit of shopping, and then I went to have a filling at the dentist, which was a barrel of laughs as I'm sure you can imagine. Still, it's probably better than having my teeth pulled.
This evening I went out to the pub (alone, as Ali wasn't feeling too good) to meet my friends
Andy, Laura (who is blogless) and Matt (who may or may not have a blog - you can think of him as
Schroedinger's Blogger if you like). It was good to catch up with them and find out what they're doing. Always a pleasure. Our inane jabbering amused the Geordie next to us, who said that we had "restored his faith in the youth of today". So that was nice.
Right. I'm going to bed now as I'm tired. I have a few other things to blog about, but they will have to wait till tomorrow morning, or maybe even next Monday. I'm away this weekend as it is my friend's wedding. Alison and I can't afford a hotel so we are going to go camping nearby because we are
hardcore. Oh yes.
Good night.
