A weekend of surpassing ordinariness

wellinghallThis is probably going to be a fairly dull post, but I am conscious that I haven't updated my Journal in a little while.
Yesterday was (buy our standards) a long lie-in - we dind't get out of the house until 10! Then it was the usual round of shopping (we are very lucky to have a good butcher in our village), washing, ironing - varied by hanging the washing out to dry, which is something we haven't had much chance to do over the last few months!
In the afternoon, a walk & swim, followed by Creatrix's chicken in white wine, and then pear pie - mmm! We ate this while watching "The Navigator: A Medieval Odyssey", which we can highly recommend - although DVDs of it do seem to be very hard to come by.
Today, another lie-in, for me at least. Most of the day will follow yesterday's pattern, with chores, a walk (weather permitting), and a swim / sauna.
This evening will involve something different - a trip to London, to have dinner with didiusjulianus, tj_pantera / progelatinous, and ExLibrarian, on their way back from the AGM & Dinner in Canterbury.
I've needed this weekend to recover from my weeke at work - back-to-back conference calls on Thursday, and one more on Friday, each of which contained at least one shocker.

Lie ins
Date: 2006-04-09 01:50 pm (UTC)The highlight of my weekend so far (apart from Friday which I'm not counting) was taking them to a children's party. The low point was a few hours earlier when the little horrors got their mitts on some liquid shoe polish and got it all over their bedroom wall, and two cotton sheets. I still smell of bleach from scrubbing it off and the bleach removed so much of the surface level of the paint that I was nearly getting back to bare plaster in places.
Fun fun fun.........
