With my car finally fixed (leaking water pump) at the last minute yesterday, I'm off to Snowdonia for a week of walking, reading and not doing much that I don't want to.

What have you got lined up?

2nd day of my 2.5 weeks off work. Grocery run, playing Cyberpunk 2077, dining out with the gf tonight and maybe a quick stop at the Irish pub afterwards. Not too bad, if you ask me.

Swapping my front brake calipers for the rebuilt ones I've had sat in my kitchen side for a couple months. I've been putting because I hate bleeding brakes but I'm fairly certain the car is leaking brake fluid now so it needs to be done.

Hopefully I will be able to do some magnet fishing tomorrow since the weather is so good and I haven't been since the August bank holiday. Probably going to drive into Bristol again and see if the bridge by castle park is a good spot. If the jetty is anything to go by I should get some stuff, but hopefully fewer nos cartridges.

Oh we have such an exciting couple of days lined up, like you wouldn't believe!

We'll be...checks notes...continuing to deep clean the whole house in a probably futile effort to get husband's allergies under control.

Yeah.

We may also manage a takeaway pizza though so that's something, at least.

I'm going to a combined stag and hen do where we will be axe throwing. Quite worried I'll be fatally wounded be a rebounding projectile.

Given how often these places host stag and hen parties, you just have to hope they've managed to idiot-proof the process by this point! Good luck 😅

Sounds like you're in for great weather the next few days! Enjoy. Been a brutal week at work so really looking forward to a few beers after work today. Family birthday tomorrow so heading for a meal out. Kids' netball, kids' football, hopefully catch a bit of the sunshine. Could be the last'ish' sunny weekend of the year? Have a good one all

Looking at our forecast here. Rain rain rain. Yeah that checks out.

Aw no. Sorry to hear that. Well stay dry, have some nice food or drink and think sunny thoughts
