Weekend 21/02 & 22/02

Saturday 21/02/15

Most of the morning was wasted in bed as knew it would be cold later. Went out with Lou as she was off to the office to play with her fimo clay. Got a coffee from Costa's and sat on the wall watching the plonkers pass by. Got into the marquee and turned the heater on (to the joy of the staff on the CARO stand) and got things going.

Graduation was quite slow and only had a bit of a rush at the end from all the poxy colleges like Lucy & Wolfson. As usual a bunch of Chinese turned up after we had turned stuff off wanting to order stuff (aka "The Yellow Peril"). Where they had been for the previous hour was anyone's guess (probably sucking each other off round the portico).

I wasn't wrong about the cold - everybody was in coats/hats/gloves even with the heater on. 

Met Lou in the library and went to the Mitre but it was packed so we went next door for a couple of pints. Home for some fun and games.

Sunday 22/02/15

Got up early(ish) and went over to Newmarket Road. 1st stop was PC World where we looked at laptops & TVs before turning attention to tablets which was reason for coming. Disappointingly half of them weren't working so we couldn't really compare them. Suppose we could have asked but that often ends in a pressure sales pitch.

Next stop was Argos (didn't have gun had seen online) and onwards to Homebase. Here we looked for an something that would serve as a central part of the proposed rocket pack. Couldn't see anything really. Then we reversed course a bit & went to Tesco's for some of the nice paneer they stock, which they didn't have. Did pick up basis for a couple of meals (nut roast etc).

Final stop was Hobbycraft for ribbon/rope. Then a slow (and increasingly painful) walk home.

Put stuff in freezer & met Lou in the Isaac. Watched West Ham fuck up a 2 goal lead to Spurs (Harry Kane doing a dive Greg Louganis would have been proud of) then Everton v Leicester (EFC managing to fuck up/LCFC coming from behind to win all 3 points) before our game v Saints.

Blimey that was a tough one (could have been 2 penalties & a man down inside 20). A brilliant goal from Philippe opened for us and Raheem added another in the 2nd half. A good win and our 5th on the trot.
