Peacekeeping Saturday

FiL 60th last night and doing presents etc he was utterly shell shocked to receive totally surprise holiday to Turkey, taxi coming at 4am and flight departs at 7am this morning.

Lots of whooping and cheers and genuine tears from MiL that it had successfully been kept a secret. Gormless SiL was staring at phone during proceedings and suddenly started asking why BBC news alerts were kicking off so we turned the TV on.

5 hours of panic later and 10 of the finest family peacekeeping force is en route to the airport for a stiff drink and a week in Turkey. I fear they don't know what's about to hit them.

    Ciao

    Up early for weights session and some peace and quiet with The Hound and then hopefully a nice chilled weekend.

    Meant to be going for a Thai meal this evening with some friends from work but yet to finalise so even if I just end up in the garden with the bambini, The Hound and a cold wet then I'll be happy.

    Ciao for now

    Let's hope there's not a coup attempt in Norfolk next month eh.

    Stropteen is off on a boat trip on the Danube today. I'm off down the tip and popping into Waitrose...wonderful.

    May also do some bike fiddling in preparation for my gravity double header next week.

    Good move, brave man.

    Me decided to deplete toots 1 and 2 of energy with a decent walk in the woods first thing and now I am capitalising on some resulting (but relative) peace with Toots 2 watching Minions for the umpteenth time. Toots 1 is doodling on a cardboard box acquired from Lidl which will shut for 8 weeks refurb as of tonight :cry:

    Laters.

    Your supermarket of choice? Do they sell those grey tracky bottoms that hang down at the back and show off your 'Dagenham cleavage' so you fit in with the clientele? :)

    We all know why you go shopping at Waitrose and it's not for shopping.

    it is handy to have a coffee as you window shop aint it mate.

    Hounds walked twice, house tidied mini crud, now tdf final stretch then date night with a film and some sticky toffee pudding!

    No idea what Cori was chatting.

    I've heard good things about Lidls fresh produce, just never been inside one.

    Bad luck. I've been wondering if it went ahead, let us know what happened please.

    Too true. Chuck in a free paper and it's almost good value if.you keep away from the fancy/expensive stuff. Add in good quality Saturday girls and that makes for a lot of brand loyalty.

    BTW is 'sticky toffee pudding'' a euphemism? :P

    Most excellent day - popped into work to pay a friend for some wheels and was given some unexpected cash, which was nice, some bambino minus bambina/TDV time so we grabbed a sneaky chicken and mushroom pie each that we ate in the sun while looking at girls.

    BBQ dinner, quick beer now lounging on the couch drinking Ricard and scratching The Hound behind the idea.

    Heading out for a ride early doors tomorrow so early to bed methinks.
