I had a mighty time in the homeland, between visits to friends and family – including rellies in the far West whom I haven’t clapped eyes on in a few years. Then there was the ubiquitous lashing back of significant quantities of alcohol, most notably on the eve of my return. When will I ever learn?! That was a loooong trip back…
Big up to my mates in Ireland who showed me an excellent time – Mushroom and her family extended their usual warm welcome, and Jew’s family did the same. My fad-ridden brother has now taken up the hobby of flying model aircraft; I’m not sure if that’s a step up or down from flying the real thing for him. In any case, it looks like a lot of fun.
Speaking of the male sibling, the bugger was only painting his house when I visited, so I felt compelled to give him a hand. You’ll be able to see the pix of the paint job in the gallery when I get around to posting them. One of these days I’ll visit when he’s got no DIY whatsoever to rope me into – and we’ll have nothing to do with our time. Especially now he’s teetotal – I kid you not!!!
Lest ye forget, there’s a flat to be warmed here, and due to all kinds of confustication and bebotherment I’ve shifted the provisional date to a reasonably firm 17th of May. Put it in your diaries, folks! I’ve had offers from some good people to help with the catering; now I just need volunteers with cleaning skills, ha haa! No takers? Oh well…
That’s about it for the moment – any and all takers for the flatwarming party, get yer butts onto the message board and post your intentions for all to see. I’m not sure how much rowdiness I’ll get away with, as this seems to be a civilised block of flats, but fun will be had regardless, I assure you. I’m shopping for board games this weekend, he he…
Be good, and as the fella says, if you can’t be good – be good at it!
