Looking after the in laws dog all day while they’re at the Radio 2 festival. Unfortunately she’s just come into season so I think she’ll be wearing a nappy all day while feeling a bit sorry for herself.
It’s quite nice to wake up on a Saturday without a massive rush to do things or get out of the house. Weather is looking nice, so might go to the coast. Going to our friends’ house for dinner later.
Morning, had a playdate cancelled for E as the house we were going to is full of ill, so avoiding that. Got to give E a bath (an absolute rollercoaster of an effort) go for a walk and nothing else planned until a wedding reception this evening for some old work friends.
We are watching Zog the dragon for the billionth time.
Lying in bed wide awake, I don’t tend to sleep a full night when I’ve been at the spirits. We did manage to salvage a lovely night of going out for a meal and meeting our friends in the pub and staying in it until kicking out time last night, so it actually turned out really nice. Extremely glad I didn’t just sit at home playing 65dos and feeling miserable. And we’ve been invited to come along for a spot of crusing the canal on our friends’ barge today, so that’s nice. Otherwise I would’ve been moving all the furniture and doing a big floor clean, this is much nicer.
Wife’s Birthday today, so trying to spoil her a bit. My parents might be coming up to drop a card off, I don’t know. Might pub this afternoon. Weather looks grey though.
Not a little to planned daytime. Going to change the lock on the front door. I realised we didn’t have a spare when I went away and we had a cat sitter, plus the lock was dodgy anyway.
Tonight my housemate and his brother are playing there first gig together in 17 years since supporting Los Campesinos! (Seems crazy it’s that long). I’m really liking it looking forward to it as the songs sound really good. I’m also like looking forward to seeing some friends I’ve not seen in ages.
My mum’s woken up distraught, she dreamt she was having an affair with Boris Johnson.
I’m off to London later for an atd’s birthday. And meet another atd’s baby, finally! Just hope I can avoid the West Ham v Man City crowds and maybe passing out in the heat.
My son woke up with a horrible rash after vomiting a fair bit yesterday so partner took him to urgent care while I waited for the 8.30am Sainsburys delivery planning to then head there, too. All is fine and they were headed back before I got out, so a Saturday I thought was gone has just been given back to me.
Park, browse a few shops, pretend to agonise over the $16 delivery for a few American death metal records before just paying it, maybe that Pinochet vampire film on Netflix and a beer before bed.
