St Andrews Ale chilling in the fridge. Burgers and watchable tosh are required. Brain dying.

BRING. HIM. TO. ME........ Not long back in this evening.... I was invited out for a few drinks by a friend who forgot to actually inform me of when I should appear..... Despite having to ping him this evening for a time and place I still managed to arrive before him.... T'was a good evening though. Always nice to get a chance to see folk I don't see that often over a drink or two. Karl

I have done nothing this morning!
Now to brave the rain to get a haircut.

We've already had one haircut failure in hubland today....

I succeeded by virtue of waiting until the rain was torrential, guessing the barbers would be empty. It was! Thus was the mission of the 3 minute haircut achieved.

I didn't do much this morning, but for no other reason than I felt like loafing about a bit for a change.
I spent some of the morning on the sofa and some of it out in the garden reading a Captain America trade in the sun. I dived back in when it decided to rain for twenty minutes at lunchtime. This afternoon I wandered out for a long walk seeing as it was such a nice day, and then came back and did some pottering in the garden - picking some of my carrots to have with my dinner and doing some weeding.
Then this evening when I was sitting down to dinner the sky darkened to black, great thunderous booms could be heard, and then all the rain in the world started to fall on Falkirk. If I wasn't already then that'd be me in for the evening I think.

The day started with heavy rain, and even though it eased off around lunchtime, apart from a quick excursion to the local Sainsbury's I decided to spend the day in. Did some reading of Irish mythology, and watched a couple of films on the telly - 'Time Bandits', which was rubbish and unworthy of the four stars given it by Radio Times, and 'El Dorado' (John Wayne and Robert Mitchum) which fully deserved its five.

Unexpectedly found some donkeys in a car park. Bought some t-shirts in between the heavens opening and a mighty, mighty thunderstorm during which I found myself desperately in need of a loo on a bus that would not move. Fun times.

What a busy day. Incapacity Benefit arrived today: Derek paid for book, Andy for Ramjet, eBay for comics, Ark ordered, discovered it was free listings day, wrote listings for & photographed piles of stuff I had to sell, wrote 3 reviews, went to asda and succumbed to the lure of MU plastic crack, watched 2 episodes of Paradise Towers with commentary and listed items on ebay.
Exhausted!

The bad weather this year is getting right on my tits, it's midway through July - I should be able to reasonably plan a barbeque!

I have only had one BBQ in the park so far this 'summer'. -Ralph

As this weekend's retail experiences have shown, I am useless with budgeting when the Tat Sensors align. Thus, I must resort to extreme measures in order to have money for AA (what with it falling at the end of the current pay cycle). This means the removal of my bank card from my wallet. I am 33 years old.

All signs point to more torrential rain tomorrow. I'm going to look like a drowned rat in my graduation photos. :\
In an unrelated note, I swear almost every time I pluck up the nerve to actually start reading the news again I just get reminded of why I didn't vote for the Tories, and why I have to constantly repress the urge to tell my friends who did "I told you so". F*ck this sh*t, yo. [/minirant of the day]

Interesting weather today. Whenever it hasn't been raining it has been gloriously sunny and really warm. But then every so often the heavens open and it buckets down.
I seem to have managed to dodge the worst of the rain when I have been out though, just getting clipped by the edge of a shower when I was on my way back from checking on the local swans. Five cygnets this year, who they were proudly showing off to the tourists at the Falkirk Wheel. Seriously, it honestly does seem like they take them up there to parade them around proudly.
