    Weekend Plans?

    Well mine should be pack up yesterday visit Leicester's Space centre today before heading to Cornwall for 2 weeks.

    Instead I'm in London working (and its not because of clientco, just blame the mother in law and inability to mention operation dates)..

    so while I'm planning to visit various national trust properties what are you doing?
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

    TFA,

    - had a crown fitted last Friday and all was well until Sunday evening when a throbbing started getting worse throughout the week so I've been living on Ibuprofen this week. First thing this morning was off to the dentist expecting a root canal extraction but instead just got more Ibuprofen (800's) and antibiotics, pencilled in for the 14/9 for the bigger jobbie as he's off on holiday
    - tomorrow will be packing my bags and then driving via Luxembourg to Dijon where we'll be overnighting
    - Sunday, leave Dijon and drive to Les Issambres, near Frejus (between Cannes and St. Tropez, where we have a house (with pool naturally) overlooking the Med and will be relaxing for a week in the sun.

    The view in the evening:



    Where I'll be spending most of my time:



    Yes, it does have Internet and I will have my laptop
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Got a friend coming round to visit. When her husband divorced her (10 years ago) she got the house and the wine cellar. She knows I like wine. She emailed me with a list of bottles she has lying round, wanting to know which ones she should bring.


      So, tomorrow me, my wife and my friend will be forced to drink 2001 Lafite, amongst others.


      Then cricket on Sunday - probably my last match of the season.
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Just had the week in the sun - St Remy de Provence. Tomorrow we'll be driving home - 6-8 hours depending on traffic.

        Yes it does have wifi and yes I do have my laptop!
