What a weekend...


...awesome time at Tommo's, had the pleasure of seeing Mr Jonks this time too (who seems to have actually lost weight as he has grown older, must be the stress of having kids ;)...out the back garden in the seminary Tommo keeps a Disney-esque menagerie of fluffy animals that both please and pain, bringing joy with their antics and pain with their annoying ability to consume brand new plants, dig up beds, pee on perfectly good BBQ covers and drown themselves in ornamental ponds...

We played muchos xbox, drank muchos cervesa, ate copious amounts of Chinese food and watched a movie or two, and then I had the pleasure of his excellently appointed spare room for the nights (well earned) collapse...

Today we headed over to Dorking boot sale to assist Flyingpop's papa with the sale of the crap from the old family homestead's loft, then spent the rest of the time in tense limbo, her nan is in hospital, critically ill...and it's hard to know what is for the best...still, the family is rallying round (as they do so well)...

A weekend of strong contrasts...

Mundane in comparison, I also managed to chop off 3mm of my little finger on my left hand with the speed peeler resulting in an impressive amount of blood while preparing our Sunday roast...lack of concentration I guess... :(
