Adventures in Thesmeland
So, slightly belatedly, tales from teh weekend!
I had planned to post yesterday but a sudden Surprise Migraine Attack that went from 'hmm, i have a sore head' to 'bugger, I can't see' in 5 minutes led to being driven home and spending the rest of yesterday in bed instead.
Today, thanks to HAX0RS, we have had no internets til now! But finally, here I am
So. Friday, nice quiet evening at home, pottering about online and watching crap tv.
Sat. arise at the relative early hour of 11 to find Gardner George on the Doorstep. Spend half an hour refusing to agree to an expensive new driveway and negotiate some new plants instead. Success!
Then, quick bath and off to visit thesme_01 with only minor THWARTING by the mad cow 'roundabout' (wtf IS that thing they've created? Why do I ALWAYS end up heading for Naas regardless of which exit I take?). Arrive in time for 2nd half of Rugby, which is much fun! Also cider.
Then much Polite Conversation, covering Rugby, American Politics, Pet Ownership etc - no weather OR lobsters - followed by Very Tasty Dinner.
A brief slide into weathernerdness was thankfully halted by the arrival of lazy_hoor. And more cider. Tasty Cider.
The evening continued to be Refined, with Heated Debate about the Nature of Communism, and Insights into the Minds Of Felines. I was getting seriously disconcerted by the lack of horror and retired to bed.
To find this scene
surrounding my bed. Somehow I managed to fend off the tiny glow-in-the-dark braaaaain suckers and sleep. HOWEVER to my HORROR once day dawned I discoved the little monsters had been very busy over night, for this was the sight that greeted my Innocent Eyes
Only Thesme could have such depraved zombies. Shocking, I call it.
I fled the debauched scene to have breakfast, amid broken glass and suspiciously innocent looking cats. Then we went for lunch and had a lovely relaxed afternoon, while I fortified myself to face the Mad Cow again (roadworks, not Thesme). Once more found myself headed for Naas, turned, tried again and ended up heading South. Still not sure how. Finally got facing Northwards and headed home past various lunatic drivers, the prize ultimately going to the pair towing a broken down car ONTO the motorway. I have no idea. But got home safely in the end to a nice hot bath, bed and no zombie orgies. Hurrah!
