What's up for the weekend?

[El Presidente]

 

Saturday morning. long walk and gym completed. Chores now (gardening/entertainment area spruce). Read two newspapers over a Churchill.  Neigbours popping over for a quick drink at 4pm.  They will leave around midnight. I have a back up dinner ready to serve. 

Rinse and repeat morning for tomorrow. Pick up mum and dad for lunch at Longgrain. They both pretend to love great Asian food. They would be more than happy with fried rice + salt and pepper squid. God bless them   They will hit Di and I up to go to the Casino with them post lunch. We will politely decline as I can't think of a more depressing place than a casino. Home, Sunday paper, cigar followed by movie night. Amazon Prime pisses me off no end with its rental catalogue that appears to grow by the week. If you pitch yourself as a streaming service, stream you motherf******. 

Where was I? 

This is our last quiet weekend before Christmas with the rest of the year's weekends choca block. 

What's up for your weekend?

Gotta open my job site tomorrow. I finally opened that hideously overpriced ($585) dollar box of 2020 red dot Coro. I actually like these. A lot. 😳

Trying to figure out how to get myself on the U.S. trial balloon group. I’ve never had a JL 1, but am a big fan of the size. Priced reasonably by today’s standards.

How do I get the password for the U.S. forum? Should I just post the request in the chat box?

Patiently wait and dream about my 25+ 24:24 boxes from the last two weeks to arrive. 1st world problems. 😂

Celebrating my 29th wedding anniversary Sunday with dinner out Saturday. 😆

Kids are away at the farm as there's a teachers' strike here, and I'm picking them up tomorrow aft. I haven't seen them in a few days, so that'll be great!

Daughter will be riding the next 2 days and the boy is having his 8th BD party at a parcour joint with kids from his new and old schools as well as his football and soccer teams. It's been a big year for him expanding his social circle and we're looking forward to the party.

Have a great one all!

Cheers

Doing some season end gardening. Cutting down our elderberry trees, winterizing the fig trees and picking walnuts. 

We planted an Italian walnut tree a few years ago and this was the first season of any walnuts. Squirrels took off with few on the tree. I drove by a walnut tree that was dropping a ton of them a couple of miles away. Going to collect them from that tree. Literally all over the place!  Not exactly from our tree but it will do the trick this season.

As fall has set in here in DC, I will be watching the leaves and acorns come down and pile up. Will have to blow them out of the yard later in the week. As we just took a hit on a new radiator for our ten year old Toyota Sienna that we use for hauling the dogs around, we won't be doing much. Watch some Football!

Working on furniture for a property @ Torrey Pines. Customers in South China to review room mock ups. Fortunately, they like golf.

Hit the links today with @Luca. Was a great game, despite my dismal score. Really got to practise some more to get my swing back.

Smoking. Fishing. Visiting pops. Taking mom shopping. And playing around with mandala art while watching murder mysteries on Britbox.

Not looking good but still plenty of time left.

Thanks! They are quite fun to draw. Time consuming, but fun. 🙂

There are some artists in the house!

I spent the weekend in Aix-en-Provence, in the south of France, with my wife, while on vacation. We visited the French artist, Paul Cezanne's workshop and generally just 'chilled' and soaked in the relaxed vibe of the place.

Enjoyed a cigar yesterday afternoon at the hotel terrace.

Planted fall garlic and put it too bed with some straw and finished a new wood shed. If I can get some venison in the freezer next week, will be ready for winter.
