What is everyone doing now there is no football?
I'm taking the dogs for a walk round Alton Water, followed by painting the bathroom ceiling. This evening I shall be avoiding the Eurovision Song Contest. Sadly the rest of the household won't. |  |

Watching F1 on TV. |
Think I would rather watch the paint dry on Leadbelly's bathroom ceiling, than watch F1. The only thing to be decided in F1 is which one of the Mercedes will win. Fastest car = winner. |  |

Just back from walking the dogs and my other half, bless her, has done the painting. Result! [Post edited 14 May 2016 17:54]

Fixing the shed. Another activity better than watching F1 or the eurovision! |  | | |

Defo not Eurovision song contest. Can't remember last time I watched this so boring programme and as bad as Eastenders! | | | |

Just been for a long walk around Stourhead with the youngest boy, now just about to start painting the bathroom skirting board - does your better half do commissions Whales? |  |

I'll ask her but as I've had to do the weekly shop as I got off decorating I can confirm she doesn't come cheap! | |

It's Eurovision, I'm afraid. My eldest daughter, now in her 40s, is a Eurovision fanatic and has been ever since she was a young girl. So every year there is a family gathering, a sweepstake, and a pen and paper to record our own scores. I join in to keep everyone happy, and I am allowed to make witty comments (well, I think they're witty).
Mind you, as I find painting to be mindnumbingly boring, I shouldn't complain. | | | |

Shed fixed. Now watching Barnsley on the telly who, if I remember correctly, were bottom of the league an two-nil down away from home on 12th of December. Wonder who they were playing that day? | | | |

They were bottom when they played us on 12th December, but they were 3-0 up before we got it back to 3-2. I think you are thinking of the Crewe game. Another game we lost 3-2 to a team at the bottom. We were 2-0 up in that game. | |

No doubt just one of many bad runs ended at our expense. | |

Ah, you are correct. All those miserable defeats blur into one. | | | |

Enjoying baseball, Washington Nationals v Miami Marlins... I wouldn't be caught dead watching MLS (Major League Soccer) although their season is in full swing.
Golf is pretty cool, The Players Championship. Doing some cooking, homemade burgers where I sautee onion in butter and add some garlic late. Salt, pepper. Add cheddar slices. Toasted bread and mayonnaise top and bottom. A bit of ketchup on top. Panfry the patties in butter.
A bit of reading, BBC, Gazette, Daily Mail, Washington Post, New York Times. Basic happy stuff on a Saturday.
edit: I dice up one jalapeno too, and this combination, onions, garlic and jalapeno sauteed is added to the ground beef. Let that sit in the fridge for an hour and voila. [Post edited 14 May 2016 21:46]

Jonestones, about 10 hours it is 440 miles. Two stops at Taunton and Strensham Services.
When he lived in John o Groats we used to drive the 430 miles in about 9.5 hours. Two stops at Stirling and Inverness.

My mum lives on the west coast of the Isle of Skye which makes it an inconvenient 645 miles door to door from Lawford. Never done it in one day though.
Longest drive in one day was Missinipe, Saskatchewan to Jasper, Alberta. 772 miles in 16 hours after a 04.00 start...I still felt better after that than any trip involving the A12 these days. | |

Although driving in Canada is significantly less stressful than driving in the UK I confess I was glad when we got to the hotel. | |
