Heartland

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

Bliss

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

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

Looking over yesterday's purchases from a record stall in the North Laine:

The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always Gatefold Vinyl - £2
Fields of the Nephilim - Sumerland 12" gatefold vinyl - £2
Fields of the Nephilim - Psychonaut 12" vinyl - £2
Fields of the Nephilim - Power 12" vinyl - £2
Fields of the Nephilim - Earth Inferno double vinyl - £2

no zeros were left off any prices.

girlfriend suitably annoyed that she didn't spot them first.

i wish i was doing those things... i shouldn't even be popping in

finished the mornings chores -launderette and collecting a chest of drawers -and so from midday till this evening i'm lounging around drinking ice-cold cider;eating sausages,black pudding and choc-ices(not together!);reading the sunday paper;occasionly spenping a few mins on the pc (heartland and tetris/pacman) and doing bugger all else.

nice

lounging, surfing, sipping

later, I will be mostly eating black pudding

Just got back from a weekend in Ilkley, wishing I was still there.

We have the same hot weather here, but nowt pretty to take my mind off it ¬.¬

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.

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. 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.

cricket doesn't count

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

I need another lie down.

beach...just a lil one close by that has a blue flag...quality

then into town for a meal at Nando's...quality

now...surfing...reading...farting...sipping a cold beer

quality....


best of all..watching all the big city folks in their posh motors queueing on the A12 southbound waiting to get home...*smirks*

Well I spent most of today sitting on the train back from Galactic Central (Brighton), but yesterday was damn near perfect for me . 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

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
And now there's been nothing done on my room yet

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

Yes. Sipping a cool one and watching the girls go by.

did the sumerland 7" ever get to be worth anything? i seem to recall it was released for 1 week only in a blatent bid to make everyone buy it at the same time, thus getting it into the charts.

i got 2.

dear god

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

I'm keeping it safe; the rest of you can enjoy the searing heat, I'm hiding inside with the 'net.
