Brighton and Extreme Gardening (TM).
So weekend went something like this...
Got an out of the blue text from demonvanity on Friday night inviting me to the pub but unfortunately by that stage I'd already polished off a bottle of 6.7% Leffe so driving to the pub wasn't really an option! (sorry Heidi!)
Satday morning I decided to do something about the jungle that my back garden had become. With hindsight probably wasn't the best weather to be mowing, weeding and digging flower beds! but it needed doing and I couldn't stand looking at the mess of it any longer. Collapsed in a heap about 4 hours later but at least its done now apart from one flower bed (I say flower bed but its more of a weed-bed!). Never realised how time consuming a garden could be - I mean its not even that big a garden but just seems to be a weed magnet...
In the evening I headed for Brighton for Roy & Julia's party. Ended up leaving about 8pm due to my exertions in the garden. However only took 1h 45mins to get to Brighton, partly due to new Merc Action and partly as the roads were clear. Party was good although I think Roy & Julia had expected a few more people (was a bit of an Amphi re-union at one point!). Cut a long story short Julias parents have bought a house in Brighton but are going to gut the place so we had an empty house to trash. Anyhoo much weiss beer was drunk and much good music listened and danced to. Finally got to bed around 5am and boy was I tired!
Sunday I sat on the beach for a few hours and got sun burnt!. Could write more but gotta get back to work :-(
Was nice to be back in Brighton for the first time in 7 years - wish I still lived there. Plus I was beginning to think my Brighton mates lived in Germany but it appears they do actually live in Brighton!
And tonight I have to go round my parents and do a few jobs. Would much rather sit in my tidy new garden and drink a cold beer...
