Now I have your attention, what are Forum members up to this weekend.

I am:-
Getting my new glasses sorted out
Holiday shopping.
Watch F1 Highlights
and joy of joys - mow the lawn if weather permits. ( If not finish painting and basing  15mm AK47 stuff)

Painting, music, a game or two, getting laid. Anyone got a different agenda?

No,  we all have that one on the agenda, but I was trying (unusually) to keep the discussion at least as high as the gutter  :)

Chores, chores and more chores...(Cleaning the outside of Techno Towers, and cleaning out the gutters.....weather permitting) and falling asleep in front of the TV.......If I'm really lucky.

Watch F1 practice and race.

Paint sabots for first unit, paint second unit, glue third unit.

Plaster some fort walls.

Teach my 6 week old grandson the finer points of Old School wargaming.

Some of that will take longer than the weekend.

Well, birthday party for the wee one's friend and outlaws for the wee one's own birthday round of "seeing all the relatives" on Sat, then Peak Farm and Alton Towers overnight Sunday, and full Alton Towers on Monday!

Back to work Tuesday, which is a shame as I'll need a rest by then :D

Apart from going to a wedding on Sunday, quick 'aperitif' at the pub tonight and hoovering the house Saturday (I wonder if I'll wear the Butler's outfit this time? Or maybe the French Maid's? Naw. I'll let the wife wear that one), hopefully a relatively relaxing weekend. Last 3 days have been spent dealing with the front lawn (or should I say the front moss?), building tables for daughter, cutting daughter's lawn, cutting lawnmower cable whilst cutting daughter's lawn (was trying to avoid a pile of particularly fresh and pungent cat poo and took my eye off the cable's location), jumping in car to head back to my home (half hour round trip) for spare plug, tools, etc., back to daughter's house, added new plug to the cable stump, finished cutting lawn, then home to cut own back lawn (or should that be the back moss also?) in fading light. Retirement? That's a laugh.


P.S. But good news is, I'm off to the USA next week for a short road trip around Pennsylvania and Maryland. Yee hoo! And also got the Osprey Philadelphia 1777 in post today! Yee hoo (again)! Plan to visit the Brandywine Battle site next week so better get reading - now!
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Chores and more chores.
Painting some more Dwarves for Warband.
Long Staff Kung Fu training on Saturday.

Going by the current news items I would stay off the rides if I were you.  :)


Me, do some reading, writing, probably help Ma Subs with some housey orientated jobs, watch MotD on Saturday night and see the Irons probably get beaten by the Baggies at the Hawthorns. Don't do motor racing at all. We might go out for a wander if the weather gets better.

Yeah, that was nasty - they've had to shed a couple of hundred jobs to keep profits up :/

The CBeebies rides appear fine mind :D
