Properly,
\nI think I should start this entry by saying what I did at the tail end of
\nlast week. Namely, a bit of shopping on Thursday evening (including buying
\nThe Animatrix DVD) followed by Buffy and angel. Friday evening was spent
\npartly at happy hour and partly packing for Saturday’s journey to Liverpool…<\/p>\n
Which brings us to Saturday morning. It was a 6:30am start. This is, of course,
\nfar too early to start a Saturday. Half way through showering I hear a knock
\non my front door. it was Tom (xencat) who had turned up rather earlier than
\nI’d expected, so I settled him down in front of the TV with the HiFi set
\nto full surround sound and stuff the Animatrix on the DVD while I went back
\nupstairs and finished getting ready.<\/p>\n
We left the house at about 7:30, trundled up to Tescos to get goodies for
\nthe barbecue later in the day and discussed bicycles. From there is was a
\nquick garage stop to give my car a breakfast of Super Unleaded before heading
\noff to Liverpool.<\/p>\n
The journey up wasn’t too bad. Not that much traffic and no hold-ups to really
\nmeantion. We stopped off north of Birmingham for a comfort break and to grab
\nsome not very fast food in the Burger King before toddling off again. We
\nfinally made Lindsey’s house at about 11:30.<\/p>\n
Most of the afternoon was spent either trying desparately to get their barbecues
\nto make any heat and cooking. Still, the company was nice. After returning
\nfrom a little amble around a local park I made some chocolate stuffed bananas
\non the BBQ and all seemed to enjoy them even though they weren’t very hot.<\/p>\n
The evening was spent in a local pub with some mor eof Lindsey’s friends.
\nUnfortunately, Lindsey got a headache and most of us were far too tired to
\nstay late or stay up and talk, so it was a pretty early night in the end,
\nand i didn’t need the pajamas either. Unfortunately, I had drunk rather too
\nmuch cola, so most of the night was spent running to the loo, so I didn’t
\nget a great deal of sleep.<\/p>\n
Sunday dawned.. or rather it squidged, as it was a bit wet. By midday, Steph
\nand Mel had left (after replacing a flat tyre) so Lindsey, Tom and myself
\nwent off into Liverpool to shop. Typically, as we came out of the car park,
\nthe heavens opened. Thankfully, I had my big Saab umbrella, so only Lindsey’s
\nshoulder and the bottoms of my trouser legs actually got wet.<\/p>\n
After some lunch and Tom having a massive spending spree in HMV (hey, that
\nrhymes!) we drove back to Lindsey’s place, we dropped her off and then I
\ndrove home.<\/p>\n
Having got home at about 5:30pm I collapsed in an arm chair and failed to move all night, well other than to go to bed.<\/p>\n
Today, I have no IQ whatsoever. i think I should have stayed in bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
