Perfect Summer's Day

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Is there anything better than listening to cricket on the radio and reading the Sunday papers with a nice cup of tea?

Bliss :D

Listening to Velvet Revolver on the stereo and reading the random musings of an assorted bunch of weirdos and crackpots (also known as this place) with a nice bottle of Steinlager.

I'm having a rather perfect mid-winters weekend weather :D

Had the best calamari at a very nice sea-front resturant yesterday and today I've been walking around the forest in cargo shorts and a tee. Cape Town ain't sooooooooo bad.

Finishing a lunch of salami, feta cheese and sundried tomatos, chatting to a friend on MSN, lurking on Heartland, with The Velvet Underground And Nico in the background, and a packet of Refreshers to eat.

Sorted ;D

Lying naked on a couch, sipping a shanty while the sun shines on the fragrant, glistening skin of two beautiful girls as they sit next to me smoking their sweaty cigars.

That's my ideal perfect summer's day, ruffers. Will it come true... God I hope so. :innocent:

Lucky you lot. Gorgeous weekend in Leeds, granted, but spoilt slightly by...

Sat : losing at cricket after bowling the oppo's to 66 for 6 (ooh, the irony) - they regrouped, plus I was knackered, to post 172 - 7 to beat our 169. B@stards!

Sun : Hawthorn hedge-trimming all day. :urff: Why oh why someone bothered inventing barbed-wire is anybodies guess.

Still, at least the garden looks the part once more. Must be time to pop round to Nick The Stripper's fantasy. :lol: 8) :notworthy:

It bloody well does, sonny. Especially after bowling 19 overs in yesterdays heat, it does.

I need another lie down.

Well I spent most of today sitting on the train back from Galactic Central (Brighton), but yesterday was damn near perfect for me :D . We found a tenner blowing along the pavement so treated ourselves to a nice lunch then later I got taken to a lovely vegetarian/vegan restaurant and had a nice stroll on Brighton Pier. Wonderful. And all this was with a gorgeous man!

Okay you can vomit now if you like :wink:

I've been busy installing a radio down here because the downstairs one's finally moved to my place...

Man, it really was hell to let the right cables stay in place, and take the others off :urff:
And now there's been nothing done on my room yet :roll:

On the brighter side: Had great meals (again), and the weather wasn't all that bad at all :D

Yes. Sipping a cool one and watching the girls go by.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

Not the singles, but I'm pretty sure that:

The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always LP (Ltd Ed Gatefold), and
Fields of the Nephilim - Earth Inferno double LP

are both worth more than £2 each, especially the former.

There is if the Ozzies give us a good tonking. I will give this pursuit another try on Tuesday for the final - but maybe substitute beer - but if we lose it's back to avoiding direct sunlight and moaning about the un-English weather :twisted:
