At 8.30 this morning my wife, Julie, went to London for 3 whole days....

...I've booked a days holiday tomorrow and it's raining outside so what am i to do?

I warmed up the stereo listening to Steve Miller. That done I'm on to Joe Bonamassa's 'You & I' and the volume is beginning to edge up and there's no one aroound to complain!!

Next I think some King Crimson 'The Great Deceiver Vol 1 side 1' - that never goes down well with the boss.

I think i might have to try a little on-line footie (PES 200 or perhaps further reduce my time trial times on Mario Kart - with no moaning/nagging - I discovered yesterday that my son-in-law has knocked almost a full second of my Ghost Valley time and it's getting seriously challenging now that we're both sub 1 minute.

I did however promise to keep the house tidy - already filled the dishwasher and put some washing in....Joe's just began his outstanding cover of Zep's 'Tea for One', volume's starting to get neighbour baiting... but there's ony so much cleaning I can do before Tuesday night.

Of course I do miss her very much already but there's little point in moping around the place is there? I think I might have steak for tea....

Anyway, just think the possibilites are endless and I don't have to worry about what she (Julie, not the cat's mother) might think if I decide to listen to ELP's 'Welcome back my friends' in all it's glorious pomposity!

Anyway enough of this, the Wii beckons - ta ta
