Tis that time of the week again folks.
This week I have been mainly doing nothing. Moaning about the rain has changed into moaning about the heat.
Today = Finish work at 5 (although may go home earlier, depends on how the MD is feeling...) After that I'm supposed to be going round a mates house for the evening, but I might give that a miss purely because the weather is awesome and I might spend the time with my girlfriend. On the other hand, she gets me all weekend, so it depends how moody she is when I get home from work really!
Tomorrow = Nothing planned. I've just been paid but I have a bill of £1,012.50 to pay on the 16th of June, so I have to be careful not to spend too much, if anything at all...The strawberry picking fields are still out of season for another 2 weeks, otherwise that would've been on the agenda. Instead we might steal the nephews and go feed the ducks or something, I dunno! In the evening my dad has a 'gathering' at home, he has a 10 foot by 6 foot Scalextric layout and we're going to run a sort of tournament with friends and family. Beer has been purchased, so it should be a giggle...
Sunday = Again nothing planned, maybe clean the car as an albatros has shat on the roof and it looks pretty gross. Really want to get the hosepipe on the alloys with the pressure washer though, you simply can't clean the arches and wheels as well with a f*cking bucket (damn you hosepipe ban!). Otherwise might try and convince my folks to hold a BBQ or something, but only if the weather remains the same...
Your go.

Friday- : Lunch by the lake in the business park to sunbathe Then tonight off to Westfield's with Scott. Feel like crap today, rubbish cold and headache, but the sun will make it all better!
Saturday- Off early to my Grandparents on the South Coast to make the most of the weather. Might have a baking day with my Nan, as I've got some new gluten-free recipes I want to try out, and I LOVE baking with her. In between the cooking, I predict sunbathing/gardening, so lots of time in the sun!
Sunday- Still at my Grandparent's house, but not sure what the plan will be so maybe some more garden time
Love this weather!!

See you there. Just bring beer or food.
Probably spend more time choosing a car than actually racing, as the car collection is somewhat ridiculous. I need to get some pictures...

Oh man I wish I had the opportunity to go sailing in this weather. Last time I went I must've been about 12, used to sail a little 2-man boat thing. Was so much fun.
Gave it up shortly after as it was too expensive and the local sailing lake just wasn't that big to have much fun

Today, working, just waiting to unload my van, then Im done for the day, spend some time in the glorious sunshine, then pick my daughters up from school at 3.10. Might hit a park with them before meeting the missus from work about 5ish, then have a wander along the seafront, acquiring icecream on the way!
Saturday - Missus is working from about 10ish I think (she doesn't actually know yet....lousy boss hasn't told her when she needs her in for ). Might take the kids to a park again, then going for a walk in the woods, hopefully finding a good spot for a picnic!
Sunday - haven't planned anything, other than dropping the girls home to my ex around 3pm. Then enjoy the sun some more if it sticks around!

Tonight: Sod all really, been off work Ill all day so will probably just watch telly and get a takeaway with Gen.
Saturday: Giving the Skoda a good run to the coast to see if it can actually manage more than 24mpg, lying on the beach, might even brave the freezing north sea! Then home and to the pub for a BBQ
Sunday: To church in the morning for my nieces first communion, then off to a BBQ/pissup at the in-laws to watch Leeds v Bradford to see if we can climb out of the bottom half of the table (champions in 4 of the last 5 seasons, and at the half-way point were 8th of 14 )

Going back to Cornwall to see family, taking ny housemate with me, should be a laugh...
Get back late tonight, if weather holds out and surf is good, head down the beach on saturday. Evening probably head over to Darrens, then drinks later on with friends.
Sunday - probably head down to Falmouth in the morning, grab a greasy roll, if we get the chance, head over onto the Roseland and possibly over to St. Mawes... Roast lunch provided by mother dearest, then head off mid afternoon to be back by early evening ish...
