The Waterside with kids at the Olds - from next Tues when Ternage Mutant gets back from Cyprus with his mates. Beforehand I shall be fortifying myself in the garden, if sunny before a largely dry few days
Then back at work for a week and a bit and then off from 9th to 31st Aug - first half in Croatia. 2nd half at home mainly drinking in the sun - if it is still sunny that is.
2 weeks in the Dordogne with Mrs G, kid G and my Ma and Pa.
Farm with horses, ducks, chickens, geese, dogs, cats and a goat. Oh and a swimming pool and pizza oven
I’m quite looking forward to re-visiting Sarlat, putting a parental arm around Kid Goat and pointing up at the quaint building in the square by the church, then watching her face as I say: “Up there, room 4, that’s where me and your mum made you. Most expensive fucking hotel I’ve ever stayed in.”
Sarlat is beautiful - but quite touristy… just back from 2 weeks a little further south near Bourg-de-Visa - 30C+ for 2 weeks - Loads of pretty village and good local wine and beer - although local bar served a more northern beer with an interesting name…
Birthday party of a mates missus bff. In some shit 1 year old “trendy” bar in a 5* hotel near Barasti.
Ladies drink free so is full of late 30 something about 95% are at least 5kg overweight.
There is one attractive blonde in a stunning dress.
I need help here.
Is it current polite etiquette to go up to her and ask where she bought the dress?
So I can get one for Mrs D_P?
Oh and at £12 a pint it is seriously tedious here made 1.5 pints last 2 hours so far
The old Phil would have just mentioned her dress would look good on my headboard. But I’d need about 6 pints to do that and no she ain’t worth it at current beer prices
