Friday Saturday Steve's brother Dave came up to finish the step in the garden...is a pretty big drop from the patio to where the grass is going.....and i went out to get the bike MOTed and left them to it.....(i don't need an excuse to get out play on the bike......i was off!) Friday night we had to go to cadets, but after we frequented a local drinking establishment! It was an experience i had forgotten about for 6 months....i am NOT a snob....and i know alcohol is the same where ever, but i would prefer not to go back there...........
Sunday was a vague attempt at tidying, day. Dave went home and Mum and mike were coming to visit for a few days........
Sometime during the weekend we had arranged a patio warming party!!! (been in 2 yrs, never had a house warming party and only just finished the patio while i was away)...........Problem is the weather wasn't really playing ball......it rained during the day but luckily dried by evening.....it was pretty chilly but no worries when the beer started to flow and the Chiminea was fully flaming!!!! For those that don't know, a Chiminea is a Mexican stove thing with a chimney and you make a fire in it.........IT REALLY GETS WARM!!!! this one was a cast iron stove and it heated the patio brilliantly (Cheers for letting us borrow it Pete and Joanne!!!).....we also borrowed the BBQ as we still don't have one of those yet!!!
had a really cool evening chatting away catching up.......mum and mike arrived, was really weird not seeing Harley in the back of the car.......
We were treated to some entertainment on the road!!(we have a dual carriageway that runs along the back of the house) a couple were having a domestic on the hard shoulder right at the end of the garden....it must have gone on for a good half hour!!! she driving off, then reversed back, lots of shouting......it was comedy!!!
a bit later, another couple of neighbours joined us (Mark and Elaine)......already half cut they fitted in with our atmosphere perfectly.....had a proper laugh!
We finally retired around 2am.... Unfortunately no photos because.....erm....well........i forgot! and was pretty occupied with smashing up a wooden bed for chiminea fuel!
Monday, we went shopping.....went to Gemini for some retail therapy! clothes, clothes, clothes....... and a new TV! I said i would get a new TV after Doobers, not least so we can have 1 remote to control everything, instead of 50million of them!!!!! (OK so that was an exaggeration!).
Problem.....TV wasn't going to fit in the car with everyone, so we jettisoned the boys, went home to drop the box and went back to have a Pizza.............all i am going to say is........god the service was pants! food was good though!
back home, chilled.......i believe CJD was tidying her house with Julie...........didnt hear from her all day...........
