It's raining here today and has been all night. That's good because it's been really hot for a few days and the garden needs the rain.

What is everyone doing this weekend? Tonight I am going out with a large group of friends from my husband's TGWU office. We are going greyhound racing - a thing I am not actually keen on - but the event includes a meal and a drink so I shall just socialise. My daughter has a part-time job caring for racing greyhounds when they are not racing so she will be there too.

The rest of the weekend will be spent changing beds, dusting bedrooms and preparing lectures for next term. Not a very exciting weekend. Oh, and I shall be trying to avoid eating any chocolate! Not even a new Texan bar if I see one.

Fancy my chances anyone?

I have recently been grey hound racing and it makes a good evening out.
It is not something I could do every weekend as I do not understand the
betting side of things very well.

Tonight I have the house to myself so I will make a bowl of pork and
bacon paella and snuggle up in the front room and watch Beethoven's 3rd.

Tomorrow night I will have a quiet evening in with my boyfriend and
watch a film and then on Sunday I will be going to a pub in Blackheath
to watch the Chelsea v Arsenal match. Come on Chelsea!!

I would rescue ex-racing greyhounds if I could be home during the day to care for them, I love greyhounds.

I'm going to see Willy Wonker on Saturday. Before that I will take my photos in to be developed from last weekend.

The new Urban Outifitters has opened in Brum, so I will have to check that out. I've been invited for a drink on Saturday, but I'm playing hard to get

smurfy don't play too hard to get, you might not get the offer again.

We're both playing it that way though. I was too keen at first, but as soon as I went quiet, I was getting constant texts again!

If you both play hard to get it will take months to get anywhere. Someone has to take the bull by the horns and I think that should be you smurfy. Be assertive and go get what you want. Are you a man or a mouse?

I've had a really bad week at work and I know next week will be no better (and probably worse) so I intend to spend as much as possible of the weekend relaxing - on the beach if the weather's fine.

Im going to sh*t into my hands and throw it out of the window at someone who walks past.

Squeak, pass me some cheese!

Actually we did meet up on Sunday night in the end. Was a very nice night

loulou · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2005, 04:05:05 pm »

That's good. And the next date is.?

smurfboy · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2005, 06:29:52 pm »

At some point over the Bank Holiday weekend as we both have time off work.

loulou · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2005, 07:02:34 pm »

That's nice.
