Is it any good though? In my experience, tea/coffee and cake tends to be good to excellent at art galleries/stately homes/&c, and passable to execrable at science/transport museums (with the honourable​ exception of the Wellcome Collection); the ££ aspect can generally be assumed...

The carrot cake was enjoyable, the English Breakfast was tea & they could have used a bigger pot
Only a cup & a half.

Waiting for the train home after my normal 8 hour work day turned into 12.

Looking forward to a beer or two when I get home.

Waiting for my son to finish supper before we start the bedtime routine. He can get changed by himself now, so it's a lot easier!
Other half is out riding a bike - I only have myself to blame :)

Watching American Flyers.  The bikes were so much better-looking back then.

Also wishing this chest infection would just FRO.

Just finished the Inlaw Paw's last tax return, going to drop it into the tax office this afternoon.

One for the "like a f*cking div" thread: thought I had until Friday, but noticed when I checked the address that it was due Wednesday. Missed deadline = automatic 10% penalty.  Almost a fecking div.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Took best part of an hour, but then took another hour, after I arrived at the surgery, to be seen. Same outcome as you. I hate this medication I am on, but trying to get my specialist to allow me to stop taking it is akin to pissing in the wind.

I've just moved all the very heavy hifi kit off the rack, and am now dusting & cleaning the rack & the area behind it.  I've not done this for several years  :-[

Listening to Jim Al-Khalili's 'The life Scientific' which is my favourite R4 prog.1

ETA. More or Less is also my favourite R4 prog.

Trying to persuade myself that clicking on 'spend' for a bass guitar kit is a really bad idea...

Trying to do a spot of gardening.  All I've managed is to mow the lawn and a bit of weeding damage limitation in the flowerbeds.  I have to keep coming inside.  It's just too hot.  (Not that I'm grumbling about that, mind.)

Procrastinating.  I should be mowing the lawns, but, as a wise man hereabouts once said, "It's just too hot."  :)

whiling away a long weekend in Baku.

When we planned this job, the client didn't tell us that Monday is a public holiday here.  I asked if I could join my colleagiue offshore over the weekend, but apparently no-can-do. 

So today has been, yoga, breakfast, work catch up 1, wander around the old city a bit, lunch, work catch up 2, run, shower and now head to the bar for a glass of wine and a bit of a read followed by work catch up 3.

Repeat tomorrow and Monday
