A game of the "Nations" board game tonight.

Multiplayer "Company of Heroes 2" computer game tomorrow, taking on friends who have also just bought COH2 "cheap" in the Steam sale. A case of lions lead by donkeys if ever there was!!

"Deadman's Hand" game on Sunday, if the man with the rules has learned the rules well enough. Otherwise we'll revert to "Legends of the Old West."

All interspersed with some catch up phone calls, planning gaming/ cinema trip(s)/ afternoon teas for the week ahead, TV, radio, reading, cooking, cleaning and if I'm really, really motivated .... a bit of painting.

Having a trip with the Mrs to London, planning on visiting Bletchley Park on Monday and meeting up for a beer or 6 with a old friend.
So no gaming related fun this weekend :-\ :-\

The kids decided to bring me a virus home from school so I've been out of action for most of this week.  As a result, this weekend will be mainly work, plus some work if there's time, with the possibility of some more work if I get a spare minute...  :D  I will try and watch the Middlesbrough game tomorrow evening though.

Well Leon, at least you can't say your kids never gave you anything :-)

Hope you're feeling better and that you find at least a little time for yourself.

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.

Cheers - Phil
Just to clarify :-

When I said I was trying to keep this thread "up to the gutter" it was not roof gutters I had in mind, but the one in the road. 

It might be safer to send the MIL up there Phil, she is less likely to fall.  :)

Hoping for the rain to keep off as I am off to look at Edgehill, Cropredy Bridge and Naseby in an away weekend! Never been to Edgehill before, so have been reading like mad, including Glen Foard's amazing book on Battlefield archaeology of the ECW, which switches the armies through 90degrees!

It's happening as planned. Big Japanese set-to. The Oda are flexing their muscles to thump the Takeda.
