Just finished, it took nearly two hours but I have just finished washing my car. It was not really that dirty but the trip into London this morning changed my mind. (More on that later). I started writing up this post last night but was too tired to complete it and felt it was rather empty. Now I have quite a few things to mention, so it will be worth putting it all together. When the weekend comes around, I try to make a list. A list of things to be achieved, they hardly ever all get done (but there is the odd occasion when they do). However, before I put pen to paper, I discovered the first page in my old A4 notebook had some blog notes. It was a bit difficult to read the scribbles but I worked out vaguely the weekend it referred to and then hunted on the blog for some confirmation. I had found notes that were over two years. Yes, two years – Sunday 26th March 2006. Funny to find such a thing, as I usually dispose of my notes once the blog is updated and uploaded. Right, quite a few things to write up on my list so I better get on with that.

In the excitement of last weekend (too much going on, too little time to blog about it) I forgot to mention the fact that my new free Coby mp3 player arrived on Saturday. Do not be fooled by the packaging, it is not an MP4 player in reality. It is in fact a cheap iPod Nano clone but with multiple design flaws (including a poor imitation of the LG Chocolate touch pad). I have copied over a handful of tracks but am limited with the one gigabyte of memory. However, I should not really complain, it was free and only cost me the time to fill in some forms for a 30 day trial of MyStuff personal item insurance. I cancelled the policy after seven or ten days and was wondering if I would actually still receive my free gift but sure enough I did. I know what you are thinking? Why does Teg need two mp3 players, particularly when he has his 60 gig Creative Zen Vision:M? Well I thought it would be good to have an mp3 that I could take with me to the gym. If it gets damaged or even broken it does not matter. Plus the size makes it ideal for use in such an environment plus I will spend just about the right amount of time to listen to each track once and once only. While I was at work yesterday afternoon, I decided I should watch Superbad. It was a bit of a spontaneous decision. The DivX avi file having sat on my hard drive for far too long, plus I had quite enjoyed Knocked Up so believed this comedy would be right up my street. It was good fun but not as sidesplittingly funny as the romantic comedy. It had quite a few good moments but most of the best ones had been used for the trailer (why do they always do that!) An enjoyable way to spend two hours with the characters getting into some totally insane situations. Plus it was nice to see an up coming actress in the form of Emma Stone. You cannot miss her, she is the red-head! Also the soundtrack to quote a phrase from the movie is “kick ass”. Plans for the weekend are mixed and have already changed. The original plan was to go for a Chinese for Kev’s birthday in Reading tonight. Tomorrow is jam packed full. Firstly there is a gym session, then back home for a bit before heading for my piano lesson (not sure which number I have lost count). Then I am over to Harrow to pick up ‘sein, lunch in Reading, most likely somewhere in the Oracle and then back to Emmer Green to pick up his shiny Mazda. Tomorrow evening I think there will be a need for some serious R&R. Might sit down to a movie or watch the first episode of Firefly which has been sitting on my shelf since January (2007). I headed over to Mitcham this morning. I had hoped to leave at 9.30am (if not earlier) but I did not leave until 10am. Pav had recommended an alternative route to the one provided by Google maps. Effectively M40, M25, M3 and then the A308 across. However it took me over two hours to get over to my destination. Then I was only out of the car for a matter of minutes before heading back home. This time around I decided to follow the instructions from TomTom by the letter. This time around it took me through Tooting, towards Chelsea via Fulham and on the outskirts of Hammersmith before jumping onto the A4 / M4 home. I was behind a beautiful Ferrari F355 GTS. Even when it accelerated to only 40mph, it sounded ever so sweet. Just as I switched off TomTom Navigator and switched on my camera. Just as I did, the Ferrari pulled out of the the traffic (at a standstill onto the motorway and flew around onto the A4 and blasted away. Typical, I had been tailing it for a good thirty minutes and the moment I go to take a photograph it is gone! I did not get home until exactly 2pm. Four hours in my car, I was a little fed up. During my journey I had got a text from Kev. The plans for the evening had changed. Chinese had given way to a barbeque and why not it was the perfect weather for it. Heading over to his house for 7pm then, should be a good laugh. After having some food, I started washing my car, it took a while but it was worth getting it shining again. Right, I have a few hours to kill before I head over to Reading. Hopefully it won’t be a late night, I want to get back early so I can get some rest in preparation for my gym session tomorrow.
