What an excellent evening

Nice dinner with both my lovely blokes. A sort of lentil-based stew with sliced sausage and bacon, adapted from a recipe my dad used to make. Came out very nicely this time (my cooking's a bit random sometimes) and went well with CUSFS.

Then I curled up on the sofa with Mike and Ghostbusters and we giggled our way through the film. The doggies really haven't stood the test of time very well, as special effects go. Still very very funny indeed.

We wandered upstairs and sat in front of the computer looking at photos til rjk got home. Some nice pics, and nice to see Mike's reactions to them. And I poked through various directories and found some entertaining bits and pieces: like the AFP group photo from the first discworld con.

And then it was 10pm and time for ADW's rather excellent set on CUR1350 tonight. Some great great tracks, ones I knew and ones I didn't. Tomorrow I'll be downloading the available mp3s from http://www.thesubways.net/webpages/mp3/ since 1am was great. Waved Mike home to sleep partway through (though in fact he reappeared on irc from home and didn't actually vanish til the show had finished.

And last but not least rjk has been downloading and playing silly bits and pieces. Audio and video clips from Bad Taste, including the quote about the chunky bit, and the shot of the sheep blowing up. And then he played the mnah mnah song from the muppets! Yay!

Now it must be bedtime. Definitely need a nice long sleep, but I'm feeling terribly relaxed and happy right now.

Strange Day, plus request for help

Poor Richard woke in pain and there weren't any painkillers in the house. A not terribly productive day for me at work, though the routine did go more quickly than earlier in the week, which is an improvement. Great lunch with Andrew at the USSC. Their food is cheap and cheerful, and we gossiped and giggled and chatted about nothing much for ages. He is a very very bad man sometimes. Home in the afternoon via Tesco to buy ibuprofen and cream cakes. Which were duly administered to Richard. Cream cakes being well known to be excellent for making ill people feel better. Had a nice brief gossip with my mum on the phone and finally gave her measurements of our bathroom. Which reminds me:

Help!: Anyone want to put me and Richard up for the night of Saturday 13th? We're being evicted for the day while they decorate.

Have decided to stay home and keep him company this evening, rather than going to the pub. Which sadly means not seeing Mike this evening after all but I'm sure we'll live. Got lots of washing up done while the dinner was cooking: chicken kievs and chips and onion rings - to make up for not having pub food :-) Shall probably spend the rest of the evening reading while rjk geeks. Or might give my hair another coat of dye. Decided it was time for another change. Not telling what colour it is, though feel free to guess.
