    Carvery by the River Exe on Sunday, with family. Fishermans Cott, Bickleigh for those who know the area.
    Never has a man been heard to say on his death bed that he wishes he'd spent more time in the office.

    Spent the weekend on Lake Maggiore in Italy.
    Really good weather for October, fab food.

    Some of the team went to the October fest, still not arrived in the office yet
    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

        The blackberry picking went well by the time we were 1/3 round our planned route, all of the containers were full to bursting, so we aborted and went to the pub

        a grand day out

          Are people still looting carphone warehouse round your way then?
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

            dunno, but we have enough fruit for half a dozen pies, some crumbles and a few jars of jam the missus reckons.

              Well I had a crap weekend!

              I waited around for ages for the windscreen replacement people to turn up. 3 hours late and eating into a gorgeous Sat afternoon.

              Went into Leeds in the wife's car for bit of shopping and a few drinks, got back to the car and it had been broken into, glass flipping everywhere. Contacted the Police told them nothing had been stolen and so no attendance, car park attendant helped vac most of the glass up and went home pretty much annoyed at the world.

              Next morning went to get my mobile phone.............................


              yep you've guessed, I'd forgot it was in the car (I don't tend to carry it around at the weekends). What a fecking idiot! My wife gave me that knowing look and I whithered and then grovelled.
              Luckily we're off to Rome on friday and Mr Gucci will help me out.

              Then to cap it all lost half a tooth eating bread and jam! Homemade plum jam from one of the wife's friends with some stones still in!

                Friday night, St Albans beer festival.
                Saturday barby in back garden. Again beer was a significant feature
                Sunday sea fishing off Mersea Island. Again very much a beer related activity.

                Sun burnt to feck though.
                Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                  Saturday we went to the beach with the kids, flew kites, eat a picnic and watched the coastguard hovercraft pluck stupid brummies from the mud.

                  Sunday we had a carvery and Jazz in the Royal, blissful weekend had by all.

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
