Took my young son to the working vehicles day at Brooklands Museum. It rained on and off but nothing bad really with our rain coats. It was so quiet too because of the rain so we had a great time!

It blows my mind how many people were there without coats or umbrellas though. Why do so many people look out the window in the morning and decide on the weather. It’s Britain so it can change in an instant so just check the weather!

I’m heading to the library to get some books, hopefully I can have a nice read while it’s raining outside. Then back to the cleaning which never seems to end!

My crummy old win 7 computer is stuck on the starting windows screen and I’m quietly freaking out. It happened once before and I managed to get it to work again after hours of it doing whatever it did to fix it. Now I’m not sure if powering it off manually is the best option but then I’m thinking, what other option is there?

The radio is telling me there are lots of things on in the Bristol area today, including Southmead Festival, Chipping Sodbury Festival, Bath Carnival, and Bristol Pride.

Unfortunately the weather is looking not so good, and if i starts raining in the next hour or so then I might just potter around the house.

We are going out to a posh restaurant for dinner this evening.

Off up north for my first game of DnD in over a year, and my first in person game for about 4 years or so. Looking forward to it.

And then dodging rail replacement bus services tomorrow.

Oh god. You know your life’s gone horribly wrong when you’re awake for the UKCasual daily chat thread going live 😭

Other half has just gone out on his weekly hike over the moors, he’ll do at least 8 miles depending how hot it gets out there so I have some nice quiet alone time with the cuppa he made me before leaving. I barely get any time for video games atm so am thinking I might just veg out for a few hours with one of the many games on my “wish I had time for this” list.

Most likely this will morph into an afternoon of continuing to veg on the couch but actually doing some work on my own game instead of playing with others. Need to get on with some sewing and crochet this weekend too as we’re going on a cruise in just under 4 weeks and I still have half a planned capsule wardrobe to make.

Now if my hands would just wake up and join the rest of me…

Walked to the village (i.e. in the opposite direction to the town), got a takeaway iced coffee. By the time I got home it was no longer iced coffee weather (=raining). Working this afternoon - working days this week are Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

Well, it’s Saturday so that means the kids are allowed nutoka (aldi nutella) on toast. The eldest is making it for them both and I’m half-heartedly trying to dissuade her from having it an inch thick.
