Entertaining a lady tonight
Meeting a friend for coffee tomorrow before embarking on The Great Wallpaper Hunt, which may last all weekend until I finally decide 'Fuck it' and buy the first one I saw some 12 hours earlier. Also a bit of gardening if it doesn't rain over the next 24 hours.
It's a high octane lifestyle, I know. Fuck knows how I cope.

the previous owners, back in the 1960s
Decided to stick vinyl tiles over the top of the original mosaic tiled floor.
I'm cleaning off the adhesive residue prior to getting it professionally polished and sealed.

Er fashions change
Vinyl was the new big thing in the 60's and the traditional look was seen as for the poor (who couldn't modernise)
Come on sporters I shouldn't have to explain this to you

the worst i saw was apethorpe hall
really incredible old English country house that is totally falling down, you get to go round it in a hard hat and hi-vis etc. when it fell into decline in the 40's, it was let to a catholic naughty boys' school.
their art project from the 40's to the 80's was to paint over the Elizabethan and Jacobean plasterwork and woodwork. it's utterly criminal, to see those incredible sights... covered in that shade of green paint that was so peculiar to the 60's.
brilliant day out though. the hall is so beautiful, but 48 bedrooms and not a single bathroom... and you get to see the secret passage between the king's room and his bumchum's room and then there's a lovely pub for lunch.

I hope he is starving when he sits down in that eye-tie. he orders his veal in dolcelatte, and his mouth waters. he can't wait. it arrives. it looks like it will fulfil his every meaty, cheesy dream. his mouth waters. his nostrils flare. his hands tremble as he clutches his fighting irons.
then, as he sinks his knife in to cut off that first delicious piece... he remembers us talking about him drinking spunk, and he can't eat a feckin' bite.

I invited the family and myself round the mothers house tomorrow for dinner and drinks
So we can leave them with the kids for the night and we get to stay in the guest shack they've got in the garden. So free food, babysitting and love shack.
I use leftover chilli on the pizza base sometimes instead of the usual tomato/garlic/herb concoction. Then cheese and jellypeenos and more cheese. Then I grate a bit more cheese to be sure.

I have a good chuckle about that.
Especially when people call up all desperate because they're been a total Nakers and sent something to the client that'll get them sacked and I tell them "yeah, sorry, all that button did was send another email to them telling them that you frantically tried to backtrack like the shortly-to-be-unemployed cocksniffer you are".
