Things To Look Forward To, Guys?

[joggerjayne]

25A in today's Guardian ...

A pass in the French game (8)

The answer is presumably "LACROSSE"

("LE" with "A CROSS" = L - A,CROSS - E)

So, today's the end of term, and after the summer hol's it will be the Lacrosse season again ... so Yay, something to look forward to.

Oh, and my friends' daughter comes home from school tomorrow, and she's bringing a couple of her school pals to stay at my flat for a few days. Are they nuts?? And her friends are going to think that Brighton is a wet and dreary place. Which, to be fair ... it has been recently. But that's something else to look forward to ... taking the GD shopping with her pals.

And the BF and I have decided to go in search of sun instead of staying around for the Olympics. Something else to look forward to.

SO, COME ON ...

Despite the poopy weather ... things to look forward to, guys?

skipping the first half of the Olympics to cruise the Danube.

Second half I shall be attending.

[ummmm]

For my b'day ginge gave me the money to book a holiday. So I shall be looking. I can't go too far because of the grand parents.

Oh, fabby fabby, jno ... the Danube is wonderful.

Where are you going from?

Not Vienna. I'll just die of jealousy.

[joggerjayne]

ummmm ... a hol that someone else has divvied up for? Love it!

No, it's Budapest-Nuremberg, or maybe the other way round, I forget. But we will be making a Sachertorte stop in Vienna. so we'll have time to stroll round the Ringstrasse and maybe take in a Klimt or two. His 150th anniversary, you know..

Big family picnic on 21st and our eldest daughter's 40th party next month.
Loads of family stuff.

Chocolate cake and art nouveau?

[joggerjayne]

Parkdale ... I'll cross my fingers for good weather for you.

I'm looking forward to a few days in Aug when mum and dad are taking the kids to Butlins, leaving me and himself to some time to ourselves.

[jno]

yes, that's a good summing up.

Remote Greek island in September. If the ferry service hasn't gone out of business, that is

Staying local and avoiding anything to do with the Olympics.....

The rain stopping.

Hey it's got to stop eventually!

[joggerjayne]

Popping out for lunch. Back soon.

D arriving from Devon for big family and friends party thrown by cousins who know how to put on a party. Lots staying over in house and tents. Have been offered caravan for night but with my family`s sense of humour, and my liking for Guinness, I`m worried some joker will tow me away and I`ll wake up,hungover and naked in the next county. Taxi home I think.

D`s second graduation. New outfit!!

Plenty of cricket.....I hope.

Thanks JJ. Just looked up the next week's weather and next Wed and Thurs look reasonable but after that? More rain.
I'm just off outside to get on with my ark.
