Decent weekend

On Friday I hardly got any work done, I procrastinate so much it’s ridiculous, I know I am doing it yet I can’t help myself. So I was down in Summertown getting stuff for the meal later and then driving Jack to Headington with his mates, just avoiding work!

In the evening Andrew and Alison came over and brought Grace with them and it was a nice evening. Caught up with loads of chat and told them about us travelling to the States in August which they seemed pleased about. It was a boozy or late night, just really pleasant.

Saturday I worked on the patio as we need to get it cleaned up as it looks horrible with the dirt and algae so I spent a couple of hours kneeling down and scrubbing bleach into the damn thing.

I then spent a bit of time downloading a few new podcasts and I found some good ones which I am pleased with and it’s been a bit motivating, we’ll see if it makes any difference or not!

We went to Milton Keynes in the afternoon and took Jack with us and did a bit of shopping, it was quite successful, I managed to get x2 pairs of new shoes and we got other stuff for Tash and Jack

Came home, quite late in fact and had a nice Indian meal that was pre-made…cheats!

Sunday, today, was okay as well. I worked on the patio pressure washing it this time and it took me bloody ages! At least 3.5 hours, I was knackered afterwards and everything ached. I was listening to my phone and podcasts throughout this which was great. I then went to a cycle ride, I have to get back to some degree of fitness, I really have to, so I was slow and steady, quite pathetic really but it was 12 miles in over an hour and I know I can do better but it is the first step…or pedal! We’ll see if I can make it into a routine or not, I am hoping to just have a better shape ahead of our trip to India.

We worked with Jack on some of his homework, he is becoming a real nightmare at the minute, such a bad attitude and argumentative, it’s such hard work and makes this painful. He’s a real teenager and it’s frustrating. Hopefully one day he’ll grow out of it!

In the evening we pottered around and I worked on my laptop and watched TV with Tash.

A nice weekend, as usual it went too quickly!!
