Busy but good weekend.

Having attacked the garden a little yesterday we nipped to B&Q to check out the shed selection (which was poor), then we went for a drive and I took Ang to a place called Saltford Locks…which funnily enough is a lock on the Kennet & Avon canal in Saltford, which is between Brizzle and Bath.

As it happened there was a canal boat coming through the Lock at the time and we all watched it progress, and even helped open the lock gates to let it out…which Ang was absolutely smitten by. Pictures over at my Flickr.

This avo we pootled around the house a little, tackled the laundry pile…it’s almost down to nothing (which is unheard of) and I picked a bunch of plums from the tree in the garden and some blackberries.

Managed to pick out about 50 trade paperbacks to sell, the money from which will go to the car/driveway fund. Speaking of which I spent a fun 30 mins finding out the wheelbase of a variety of cars to try and work them into the plan.

Also bullied my parents into having a meal to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary…it’s the same day as our BBQ and they were being very self-effacing and saying that we shouldn’t trouble ourselves, but trouble is my middle name!
