Just check in just to ease your cold turkey shakes from being deprived of my fantasticly entertaining witterings, my poor neglected 0.5 of a reader. Am I good to you or what!
Soooooo, the weekend so far. As those of you that can access Mrs F's blog will know, Sarah has been with us since Thursday night and just went back to mummy today. Just managed to arrive home in a hail storm and once Sarah was delivered I had great fun loading a Marshall 2x12 speaker cab, a big storage box of assorted tat of mine and a small flight case full of power leads into Mrs F's car, along with about two pounds of ice in the form of said hail.
On Friday we trekked to Walton on the naze to see what we could see and hunt for fossils on the beach. When we got there the weather was foul. And I dont mean if consisted of pheasants and partidges, it was COLD, windy and generally in black and white. So we ducked into the amusment arcade on the peir and I had to take Sarah on some rides and such. Then we had to go have a warm up in a hostelry (ahem) then we found one of those fantastic Fish and Chip restaurants that only seem to exist in coastal towns. The fish was fantastic and we all had a good feed up.
Then down onto the beach and hunty hunty for fossils. And by golly we found some! A few bis of fossilised wood and a couple of ammonites (if that is not spelt right, blame Mrs F for wandering out of yelling range) Then home via a garden centre (!) that had a display of ickle chicken chics and lambs - live ones, not stuffed and all deeeed, well it made Sarah happy and that is the main thing.
Today we changed our plans due to the weather being even more changeable and cold and went out to yet another bloody garden centre that has an aquatic shop in it to get Sarah some fish. She got a nice little fantail and some form of loach to clean the tank, and they are now keeping the Moffs only remaining gold fish company. Sarah is dead chuffed.
After the fish buying we came back and varnished the shells and fossils sarah had collected and went to lunch in the Cafe Rouge while they dried. Sarah actually ate quite a lot, as she has all weekend. Its hard to get her to eat a full meal - she seems to be more of a "grazer" but I think she is getting better.
Now she is at home with mummy and we have just seen a humungous firework display in one of the neighbours gardens that must have cost a smallish fortune, seriously impressive explosive firepower there next door dooods! light up the sky or what!
So now we are going to eat some home made Kebabs and have a nice relaxing drinkie. or two.
So far its been a good weekend.
The only problem being that now the Marshall 2x12 is here, and the Marshall 20/20 valve power amp is here (which is fupping deafening - loud enough to cope with the most heavy handed of drummers even) and the Vox tonelab has been here for weeks..........
If I link them all up tomorrow, I could REEEEELY make the neighbours jump!
No no. Must be good. Because the neighbors here never make any noise.
Oh hang on....
MWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!
