    Digging holes, cutting timber, mixing concrete.

    Decking, in other words. Basically an excuse to buy and play with a mitre saw.

    I plan to venture out on the bike a couple of times, and be harangued by the trouble and strife all weekend.

    PS - NGale, I hope that your profile picture isnt you? Not the best idea to post pictures of yourself on the internet in uniform, even if you are only a cadet. Particularly as your user name could well be a close match to your real name....

    Tonight - driving
    Saturday - sitting round at in laws bored and bikeless
    Sunday - Christening then driving home
    Monday - Monday will probably suck as well

    I'd rather be at work this weekend, at least I can ride there.
    I love horses, best of all the animals. I love horses, they're my friends.
