Or got any plans for the week?

It was my SO’s birthday and she wanted to go to a local transport museum, which was actually great fun riding around the site on trains, trams and trolley buses. A couple of shots of some 1920s trams.

    Did the Barbenheimer, although split over two days. Both fantastic films. I felt a bit bad for the small children and their parents in the Barbie screening though.

      Glad I didn’t go see Barbie then my 7yo was taking bout it but seen mixed reports before hand (although often they turn out from pearl clutching Americans that think moanna is too scary and little.mermaid too sexual. But now reading many actual specific reviews…and seeing it with the 12 (thought it would be Pg) glad didn’t get her too hyped.

      Personally off to science museum London tonight to watch Oppenheimer in proper IMAX

    Went to the shops … remembered they shut early on Sunday … came back from the shops (I say at least it wasn’t raining, but it was)

      It’s absolutely mental the time shops close on a Sunday down in England.

      Left for my work induction down Portsmouth on a Sunday and realised I’d forgotten my belt about half way down. Figured I’d just stop at an Asda or something. Couple of hours from Portsmouth and I fired one into the satnav. Took a wee detour and pulled up to an empty car park maybe the back of 6 in the evening. Felt like this guy.

        [insert another post from an always confused Scot when in England on a Sunday]

        I consider it yet another ADHD tax. We live a less than 5 minute walk from a big Asda that is open 24/7, I seriously don’t think I could cope with wacky Sunday opening rules.

          To be fair, I was down in London seeing Helloween and on the way back to my cousin’s flat she got us off the bus to go into the big Tesco where we all got a cargo at like half 12 at night! Was blown away.

        Sunday trading laws are one of my bugbears.

        Either close completely like they used to, or open as normal. This halfway house thing is just stupid.

    Birthday party. Another. That’s the tenth since March. Nine of them on a Sunday. Which happens to be the one day of the weekend that my partner works. She doesn’t seem to mind parties. Funny that.

    Also started and finished a little puzzle game called Viewfinder.

    We went camping in the Scottish Borders for a couple of days. It was nice when we got there, and then it rained. Spent all of yesterday afternoon drying out a soggy 5 person tent in a small patch of the back garden. On the plus side I got one night of great sleep on a new self inflating mattress. The kids really enjoyed it too.

    Patched some work servers on Saturday and then carried out a DR.

    I then sat on my arse all weeekend, sinking around 15 hours into Dave the Diver. Absolutely loving it, although by last night I was doing daft shit and dying all the time. Had to do a sneaky alt+F4 before I got a bit too tilted.

    My wife said it was about time I sorted my wardrobe. I literally keep stuff until its falling to bits!

    Got rid of 2 massive bin bags worth, which only left me with about 10 tshirts heh. So went shopping too, it was dead in town, although made the shopping easy!

    Had a very promising band practice yesterday, with lots of plans around our potential success. So, pretty happy with that!

    Rained all day Sunday, caused a serious flood in my house, landlord says that nobody will be able to look at it until Friday.

    It’s scheduled to rain most of the day Wednesday and Thursday, really no idea what I can do here.

    Nice pics, museum good shout with all this rain. My Saturday was mostly spent looking out the window wishing the non stop rain would bugger off, I did get a trip in to the builders merchants and got some timber, and as yesterday was nice and dry I actually managed to get on with my little project - fitting solar panels.

      I’m currently getting quotes in for a 5kw array and 5kw inverter, some of the prices are so comical I’ve been tempted to phone them back and just laugh hysterically down the phone at them.

    Am just counting the days until i can go home. Due to a hilarious mix up, i have my weeks holiday from work spent at my inlaws. Likely ill get home at 5pm on Friday and will have the weekend ‘off’.

    I should not complain too much, for all the annoyances of the in-laws, it is 5 days of not cooking, cleaning or doing chores.

    I just want to chill and play computer games…
