Went out on Friday night with my brother at his local in Waddingham, Lincs. Saw the work he had done on his garage (yes we're both building garages at the same time!) He's building a double one, and he has laid the foundations and laid the first course of breeze blocks. It looks absolutely huge! I reckon its going to take him ages to finish it. I was round there today helping him move some soil, and once mine is finished I'll give him a hand, but he realises he's in for the long haul.
It was nice on Friday just to go and have a few pints with him. We got absolutely toasted! I think we had about 7 pints, and I dont really remember getting back to his place. But sometimes you just gotta have a few pints!
The rest of my weekend has been taken up with laying bricks...it really does get a bit boring after a while, and cutting my grass with shears, again, quite boring...but it has to be done. The grass looks really nice, and will look even better when its cut properly and thicker.
Im expecting to be out again in the states sometime soon, which will be nice. I think I'll get my xmas shopping out of the way while Im there. I hate xmas and the run up. If I had my way, I'd ban it. A couple of years ago I was in a Malvern branch of Somerfield on Haloween night and they were playing christmas songs. I complained to the 'manager' (who obviously couldn't manage his way out a paper bag without head offices say so) who said it was company policy and he couldn't do anything about it. I left my basket in the isle and went to Waitrose instead.
Bah Humbug....

quite right about xmas mark, as we all know it is now too commercial and we shouldnt forget the real meaning of xmas should we. lol. all i have to say on the matter is that joseph must have been a crap husband, he had to go to bethlehem to pay his taxes and he took his heavily pregnant wife with him, not very thoughtful at all, he might have known it would be all full up at that time of the year, doesnt he know that people like to get away at xmas.
Tony can't make it this weekend, he has had his leave chit revoked! Gill' going out with her mates now.
The beers are still chilling...can't say for sure how long for though!
so thats why i wasnt allowed to come this weekend is it mark!!!!! what do you think of a nephew that sends you an email saying drop round for a weekend anytime, and when i suggest the 23/24th sept he emails me back................errrrrr any but that one lol. (dont worry mark only winding you up, going to london with the boys on saturday)
Ha! I had been expecting to be out in the states this weekend, so thats why I said any but this weekend - nothing personal!
