Leaving work on time when on duty week (when you are more likely to be out late).

Random catch ups with friends you donāt see anymore.
Particularly when they involve looking back at old photos of how you used to look, and being perplexed you used to fancy each other.
Also laughing at the absolute succession of shit haircuts and utterly awful threads.

Fish & Chips from the Quayside chippie is an essential. As is a piece of Jet jewelry for the missus and an āoriginalā Victorian framed photo by Frank Meadow-Sutcliffe. Gotta be done, ask me how I know. 
I refer the dishonourable gentlemen to the answer I gave some moments ago.

Still got this framed picture somewhere in the atticā¦along with the portrait of myself of course.

Me, sat here until Sunday. Complete quite and nothing moving faster than the rivers flow. Lots of food, alcohol and a couple of books to read(almost forgot, some fishing rods as well).

Place called Wateringbury, in Kent. River medway, about 10 miles from Maidstone.
Good fishing and iām about a mile into farmers fields off a tiny country lane, so no traffic noise either.
Weather so good, i doubt Iāll bother putting the bivvy up.
Drinking cider, watching the river go by and listening to the birds.
This is my kind of relaxation

One assumes you will start a fishing day thread, keeping track of baits used what got away and how you only caught the Sun?
Or, here are a load of empty bottles. Mustāve been what i drunkš·
Just opened a Carmen Stevens SA.
It very good, which means i had better get cooking soon.
The Polish Wedding. We have been given a dossier, with timings, where to stand etc.
Imagine a Brit Wedding with Trooping the Colour precision
Mrs D_P is a Godmother so we canāt just rock up, also itās a devout Catholic gig so they have to give me cues to kneel , sit, stand so I donāt look like a prick & ruin the day. (Remember I know 6 Polish words basically. Beer Voka & Bacon & derivatives, so Iām out.)
It kicks off at 6am FFS sheās off to breakfast hairdresser then make up. I have to collect her at 10 with flowers & lucky lottery tickets. WE go to Grooms house she ties him up or something & the Priest does a blessing.
We hurtle home she changes into a 2nd frock, we take in laws to the Salt Mine (Or is that just where the gig is?)
So Catholic Wedding about 3pm then to the party venue. The couple eat bread & salt, drink bubbles, with hands tied together, smash the glasses and do the 1st dance routine. Music will be 75% Polish pop and Polka, 25% Europop & Rock.
There will be food. About 20 courses of food. And buffets. The REAL problem is the booze.
Each table will have a jug of juice. It may be Orange for an hour, then Apple or Grapefruit
And Vodka. Never ending bottles of Vodka.
In shot glasses, to be downed when toasting or sipped when thirsty.
No Pepsi, (although with a 7am finish time I WILL be smuggling some Red Bull in
At 7am we can fall upstairs to our hotel room. And check out is at 10am
FFS
NORMAL tradition is that the party restarts exactly 24 hours after it first started and lasts until 7am. Luckily the couple decided against that and are off on honeymoon instead of to hospital as usually happensā¦
It will be wonderfully Village Hall. They are a true pleasure of everyday life.
The match day thread will be on the pickled page, obviously. There may even be photos if they have Wi-Fi
Did I mention Vodka? Neat Vodka? For 14 hours?
Think even @PhilippineSaint would struggle with thatā¦
