The Weekend and Other Things

Last Thrusday my mum and dad came down for a rest. I told them to come over and neither of them were allowed to do anything. I took some time off with hours owed to me, and made sure that they did nothing!

On Friday I spent the entire day continuing the brick work on the garage. Im getting quite good now, although I must remember that if its sunny, I need to wear a hat or at least factor 50 sun screen. I am very red today and my face throbs in time to my heart beat.

On Saturday, I had an old flame, Tracey C, down for the weekend. I had got some tickets for the renault world series car malarky at Donnigton, so we planned to go there on Sunday. Tracey liked the house, but wasn't too sold on the bathroom, she reckons the jacuzzi bath is "Way too 80's" and the bidet is 'surplus to requirements'! Surely not?!
Anyway, you know Im always going on about how sh!te I am at directions and finding my way around? Well it is totally true...Sunday moring arrives and we head off for Donnington. I know its somewhere near the M42, so I head off that way. Anyway, about half an hour on the motorway Tracey points out that we're heading for Birmingham, which is in the opposite direction to Donnington.

Bugger....

"Do you fany Twycross Zoo instead?"

"Do I have a choice?"

"Yes but by the time we've turned around and recovered time, Donnington will be closed"

"Lets go and look at the monkeys then"

"A wise choice, luv"

It was nice there though, Id recommend it for anyone who has driven past Donnington and can't be arsed to turn around :-)
