Weekend Plans

stivi said:
I also cannot wait for this weekend because I am finally finishing my season at pacha on friday and then it's holiday time until xmas.

flying to mallorca friday night for a week first - seeing inlaws, going hiking, doing some shopping and seeing nils frahm in concert on tuesday!

then onwards to bordeaux for a few days where we shall see the king of the north (@jimmiz) and his better half as well. I haven't touched a drop of alcohol since october 29 and I'll keep it up until we touch down in bordeaux, but hey, once there I'll drink AAAAALLL the fantastic wines they have. so lots of food and drink over that weekend plus sightseeing in and around bordeaux. after the weekend we stay on because it's björk's final concert of her tour and my wife is a massive fan.

then quickly back to mallorca because it's my inlaws golden wedding anniversary and then, I am finally going back to switzerland for ten days. family, chocolate, friends, chocolate, fondue, chocolate, raclette, chocolate, winter hikes, chocolate and mountaineering and oh, chocolate of course.

back to the balearics in time for christmas, holiday hiking, nye&nyd festivities!

good times :cool:

Can't wait to see the King of the South (@stivi )and his lovely better half in the only big city of my country I don't know 🍷.
We just stay 2 days there, but it will be intense 😬🍷🥳
So I have to be very quiet and serious next weekend to be super powerful for the week after 😎
 
Bit late but heyho
Last weekend took advantage of the good weather Friday, bagged off what I was meant to be doing and heading to Lake District to climb Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag overlooking lake Buttermere - what a walk!

Sat - usual football training with lad, his haircut which doesn't happen often with his surfer-boy hair. At night we went Manchester with friends to The Twinkle Trail at Freight Island. Good crack but getting food was joke in Freight Island afterwards, 1.20hr wait for a burger which was the only concession open other than the bars but it was another dry weekend. Had a spot in a marquee outside where someone mixed disco but sat next to the staff/VIP side entrance to WHP. Torture hearing it going off whilst stewing about the burger 😑😑
Sunday - worst day for a whole. Failed on Glasto tickets, cleaned hututb on the rain 1.5hrs as Mrs is having a Christmas themed party at weekend. Had to get decorations down from loft (embarrassingly they re up) spend shit loads of cash at garden centre in more Christmas Decs and had a crap Sunday lunch out. Honestly should have gone bed at 2pm and wrote the day off 😩

Currently looking for a decent night to attend in Manchester on Friday after work 😬
 
yes, very nice motor (don't do what I did and crash it in Chinatown on the first day)

Additionally, just realised it is exactly 25 years since I passed my test. Took about 10 months. Probably knew every back road in Richmond by the end. She said I was one of the most nervous learners she's ever had. But then again, she was the one chainsmoking by the end of it.

Fri - all day conference in Manchester. Went to a Turkish restaurant afterwards, then Corbieres Bar (juke box for those that know Manny). Colleagues left and I went WHP for Charlotte de witt. Bit quiet, only main room open but absolutely banging.
Sat - dealing with after effects of clubbing right now 😅 Christmas fayre in our village at dinner, watch our football team get beat this aft. Mrs is having a party at home whilst I watch our son, the good side is the scraps of food that are sent into the front room will be top notch.. The bad side is ill call to the hottub too often for bottle of wine and to sort problems out 😩
Sunday - find somewhere to treat the lad for a good weekend at school
