lprovenMy homeopath called me last night.
This is a coded message. Most of you will not know what the h3ll I'm on about - but the 2 or 3 that do might be amused... :¬)
Er. Update. Brief 'cos I'm at work.
Still here. Not dead.
Went to CIX BBQ. Was fun. Got there about 8pm 'cos it was too damned hot to go earlier, to find a rather small and depleted gathering - tho' I gather many of the usual suspects has been & gone. Got pleasantly mellow.
Next day, took up![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
daveon's invitation to go visit him & Maryse in Bath. Went. Arrived steaming to be handed a towel and be shown directly to the shower. What fine hosts!
Then they said "there's loads of food. It's in the fridge. If you want some, go cook it yourself." So I did, to their slight surprise. :¬) First solids in >24h at that point; no wonder I'm losing weight.
Went out with Dave for Beer in the evening and met a mate from London in the pub, completely astounding him, which was amusing. Then a mini pubcrawl and curry and whisky and movies chez D&M. Very good.
Monday, played tourist, took Maryse out on the trike for her to shout at me in a therapeutic fashion. Also very pleasant, in its way. :¬)
Monday evening, was persuaded to stay on the basis that it was too damn hot to travel. The bike was misfiring badly at low engine speeds and there's something weird going on with the transmission, too. I think I need to retension my chain again, too. Oh joy.
Tuesday, travelled back in a leisurely fashion, cruising past the White Horse at Westbury, then Stonehenge, trying to buy lunch in a variety of little country inns and failing 'cos they're all shut. Eventually settled on a transport caff, which was splendid.
Tuesday evening, pizza and Spirited Away atsbisson and marypcb's. Wednesday, work, beer with daveon and pmcray and Howard WINOLJ in an appallingly unveggie gastropub. Suffice to say, I went for chips.
Thursday, work, drinks with Francis in the evening, who stayed over.
Friday, work, drinks with client, it looks like...
So. Later. Anyone up for Dead & Buried?
