Wondered how you bunch of nerds spent this lovely day?

Personally I went to Chester Zoo and spent 6hrs in the sunshine generally being burnt to a crisp, now I'm-a watching Usual Suspects with a few beers.

In bed, recovering.

I have no time for summer, damned hayfever.

I cycled 10 miles each way to do some shopping
To hot for cycling

Went to pub for a quick one.

Then there was a storm and lots of rain, so had no choice but to stay for a few more.

Went with the missus (she passed her Masters course, so I said I would treat her).

Also went with a motley bunch from work -

Gay bloke dressed in a sarong
Gay bloke's fella
Gay blokes child
Loudmouth office girl
Indian superhero, and converted BWFC fan
Mr and Mrs arranged South African marriage

All in all a beltin day, my face however is a deeper red than that new away shirt......

I woke up feeling rough as hell. I sat in the park reading and sulked about our World Cup exit, which made me feel slightly better. Then I ate some sandwiches and felt significantly more cheerful. Finally I went for some beers with my cute blonde American girl neighbour and all was well in the world once more.

I hope you all had a good one.

Well, I was 8+ for the front nine, and level par for the back nine. Conclusion: golf is a daft game and no way to 'enjoy' oneself.

Then, I had a roast at my girlfriend's (easy guys).

Then, I played four-a-side footy for two and half hours with some mates and finally let go with my anti-Eriksson, anti-scouser bitching.

Now, I am capping a good day with a doughnut and a beer, and talking to you fine people.

No American blondes here though....

Brother and sister-in-law down from Bolton for a barbie and social weekend to celebrate England's march into the semi-finals (sounds a bit daft now, doesn't it?)

Breakfasted in the garden, surrounded by Sunday newspapers, desperately trying to get some scrap of footballing comfort from them - there was none.

Lunched at a beautiful pub next to the Grand Union Canal, watching the narrowboats glide by.

Back to Chateau Zulu to sit in the garden until early evening, when brother and missus headed off back up the M1.

32C and not a cloud in the sky! No thunderstorms, no floods.

Marvellous!

Got up early and cut the lawns. Named all the buttercups and daisies after Portugese players and mowed em down with gusto. Strolled down to the shop for the papers. Bacon sarnie brunch in the sunshine, afternoon just lazing about reading.
Steak and salad tea under the gazebo and the storm struck right in the middle of it. Toughed it out and stayed there. Got wet. Great day, bad end. Had a few differences of opinion on TW about the world cup and got on with novel no 2. Went to bed.

Sat out in the back garden in my bikini enjoying the fabulous sunshiiiiiiiiiine. Freaked out the 2 young lads who came to water next doors back garden so went and hid in the kitchen.

Came back out again when young boys couldn't attach hosepipe to the outside tap. Tried to help, but couldn't attach it either. Lent them my hosepipe and hid in the kitchen while the sprayed each other and the entire neighbourhood with my hosepipe... And I'm on a water meter!!!!!!!

Back outside to finish the Sunday papers, little sleep, then hid under the stairs with the cats during the very long and very scary thunderstorm and torrential down pour.

Only 1 glass of wine with dinner much more civilised.

Woke up still pished at 9. Sat in pain as the booze wore off waiting for the pub to open. When to pub, had a pint felt better. Decided to have a few more. Hid in the pub all day until the sun fecked off. Heat and hangovers do not go well together. Watched the lightning hammer the shit out the hills during that thunderstorm, which was a bloody godsend.

Felt mildly foolish having spent time watering the garden only for Mother Nature to then show me how it's really done.

I spent the full day driving shotgun round and round Baden-Baden in my mates Toyota pickup looking for Sven 'the Bastard' Goran Eriksson.
