Si and I just got back from some suburban camping for Pete from Celeste's 30th birthday. When you sleep in your tent at night you can still hear the M25 quietly rushing nearby. Pete's whole family camp together, including his adoptive parents and Pete's real dad and his wife. Some have motorcycles with sidecars fashioned from other small cars, some have kids, other just own every piece of camping equipment made. They are true veterans; Si and I had to borrow a tent.
We ate too much semi-smoked BBQ, drank Carling and red wine, played cards, played guitar and sang around the Coleman lantern at midnight. There was birthday cake and roasted marshmallows. I got my ass wet and my wet ass on everything! It poured buckets all afternoon but it was fun.
Home now, fully showered and cleaned, playing with logo designs. The rain's still going.
Just ordered Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on DVD. It would be good to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon like this.
