OOPs Dust in the brain

I can't believe that a week has rushed past yet again. I am working like a slave to try and get these damned beams cleaned and the new plasterboard put up but it just doesn't seem to be happening! It wasn't helped i suppose that it was my birthday in the middle of the week, not that i stopped and took a day off work but even so not so much got done! As it was a day off on friday for luscious i sort of had my official birthday unofficially on friday! Bit like the queen really but then she has two birthdays a year! official and officially unofficial. confused yet?
Anyway, had a lovely lunch out on friday and then a drive out into a part of the region we have never been into yet, well, what a stunning surprise, the scenery was stupendous and the weather brilliant. All in all a great day. Saturday is market day as you know and tonight was luscious at work, me invited to another birthday do. The same day as me but he had his official unofficial birthday today as he was working wednesday as well!
Tomorrow is the final day of the village fete which has a compulsory attendance as there is free wine ALL day. Well not quite but certainly after mass ( you don't HAVE to attend mass to get the free drink(s)) and again in the evening for the community meal at which nearly 300 people sit down and eat and drink as much as they can in three hours then dance until maybe two in the morning so no work done tomorrow either. I suspect monday will be a hard day in more ways than one!

    Is this an official declaration that you are unofficially living a life of idleness; unofficially drunken but with promises of official belts-around-the-head from luscious if you're not officially back at work in the next ten minutes. Unofficially, of course.

    mandy: I reckon the free libations did the trick on sunday night! home at 3:30am up at 6am to let the cat IN and feed her.........
    groan!

    Hey Hey comments have appeared and i am keeping quiet!

    r.j.: I officially declare that it is my unofficial right to remain idle but only with the express official permision of luscious...this is unlikely to be officially given!
