What are your weekend plans?

[Chris]

I’m going to give this ‘hammocking’ business a whirl tomorrow night.

Not even taken it out of the bag it arrived in yet. What could go wrong?

Also got a little Wolf Grizzly folding fire pit to try out, so keen to see how that works out. Would be grand to have an off-the-floor fire option that’s also backpacking friendly.

Underquilt or sleepmat. I’m sure you know this, but it’ll be a miserable night if you don’t.

Not up to much this weekend, but solstice next weekend so I’ll be out at the wood fair for a few nights.

I need to dust mine off now it's warmer

My plans, not only for the weekend, but also consecutive weeks, is have a good, hard look at my shape, both physical, mental and skill-wise.
I think that might come in handy...

Iron Maiden tonight at London Stadium. London is a sea of black tshirts.

Out of curiosity Chris, what hammock did you get? I've a TW Green Hornet, and love it.

 

[Lean'n'mean]

To do as little as possible & to remain as cool as possible, as we enter the second heatwave in the same month. A first.

Getting the Nesting Box ready for Dads visit, so he is satisfied I have High Standards and can fend for myself.

I went for the DD Frontline King size (used to be called XL). Seems good so far!

Not too shabby at all. This is their 50th anniversary.

Exciting weekend .not!
Farmers market sat morning, stock up on cheese, gluten free burgers for another month, have my monthly cuddle and play with the basket makers dog gracie, a real poppet, then a picnic lunch and paddle in the river, hunt for crayfish, no luck so far even though they are meant to be there. Too many people and dogs swimming and making a ruckus.
Sunday
Wait in for the new desk fan to arrive, and spent half an hour assembling it, only to have to take it all apart and add the blade locking nut I'd overlooked! It's now in working order, but I woke to a cool grey morning, rather than the blazing hot day predicted. I had been in a bit of a panic as I need a fan to cool my south facing bedroom, despite all the tricks to keep it cool, (it was 25°last night, now down to a more manageable 22° this morning)
I realy could have done with it yesterday, but its here now, so prepped for any more hot weather again.
This afternoon?
More attempts to find those elusive crayfish further downstream. Brew kit and maybe a burger, and wild salad to accompany me. Well, that's the plan, but I'm realy tired after a hot and restless night, and may not be bothered. I should make the effort, but have a lethargic attitude today.

An annual pilgrimage to Blakeney Point on the Norfolk coast. We often do it in pouring rain, perhaps not this year.
I’d collect samfire if there weren’t quite so many dogs running along the spit.

Maybe photos to follow when we get there.

No-one in Venice for the wedding?

No-one in Venice for the wedding?

Well, I got the invite, but they wouldn't let my glass slippers through customs, so I went home and ate the packet of lemone canoli that I'd bought as a wedding present.

 

[Tengu]

I didnt get invited but then I seldom get invited anywhere.

Am getting ready for work; Textile dept made me a linen shirt so I hope the weather is nice enough to wear it. (Amos has already gotten his filthy but he works in he smithy...)

Going to make supper, Beef pie and potatoes...I also found the first wild raspberries.

 

[crosslandkelly]

From tomorrow until Sunday I plan on being solo, in my favourite 10 acres of woodland. Bag packed and ready to go, pics next week.

 

[Woody girl]

I'm going to learn how to play croquet this (sat) afternoon.
I'm getting quite refined in my old age. Vicars garden party and croquet inside a month.
Whatever next?
Should I join knit and natter too? Maybe the gardening or film club?
I realy want to learn tai chi, and trying to get classes started, but no one else does, so it's not happening. Tried to get archery classes going too, but same problem.
Sometimes this place sucks!!!
I'm just not a typical female pensioner. I'm getting a reputation for being out of my box. Hey ho. More gin and tonic please! I'd Rather have a neat southern comfort mind
Collective intake of breath...how uncouth!

 

[Bhod]

Nothing, should be at spoon carving tomorrow but just come back from Greece and picked up a snotty, coughy throat type bug off the 'plane so not feeling very sociable or particularly energetic.
