What a weekend! This is going up tomorrow for today. It's 10.15 pm Sunday and the lunch guests have left -- but that's a bit scary and involves going into the future and shouldn't be mentioned here, so I should get back to today (or yesterday as it really is in terms of when I'm writing this -- but enough of that, let's not labour the point). The grand plan was to get the house ready last night, or at least make a start on making it presentable for Sunday's lunch guests. Somehow, that didn't happen. I mucked around, procrastinated, got up really early and began housework (it really is amazing how far behind things get when you're totally focussed on work and neglect the day-to-day niceties of washing up and dusting and things like that). The grand plan was to get the act totally together by 9.00, then do some entertainment shopping (as in get a new table cloth and matching napkins and things like that) before dropping in to my local 'drive-in' vegetable shop to get the makings of lunch.

I managed to do at least some of that, embroiled to a certain extent in the beginnings of the Christmas atmosphere, and managed too to get to the Music Group session. Carl joined us afterwards for chit chat and a few drinks, we went back homeward to my-land for some forgot-it-earlier shopping, had some more drink in my local, and finally made it home around 11.00 with me in major panic mode. After that there were a few stressful hours which involved some advance preparation of the dessert for tomorrow's meal, finally leading to bed at 2.00 am. Exhausted.
