I wanted a lazy weekend last week, but ended up slaving over PuTTY for most of it. This week I tried again and definitely succeeded.
On Friday evening I bought some gluten-free beer from Sainsbury's. At lunchtime on Saturday I decided to drink one and see what it was like, on the basis that that way it'd have long since worn off if anything happened in the evening that I wanted to drive to. Barely had I finished it than I got a phone call from lnr, who was sitting in the Carlton and calling to let me know that they had just got in three different kinds of gluten-free beer. So I went and sat in the pub for the rest of the afternoon and sampled them all. Then
ewx declared a party, so I took some more of the Sainsbury's stuff along to that and drank it there. Net result: about ten hours spent almost continuously (though reasonably slowly) drinking beer. If that's not a good way to do nothing on a Saturday, I don't know what is.
Today I have cunningly avoided having a hangover, kicked copious alien posterior in my gradual replaying of Starcraft, and come close to my personal best for the longest bath ever. Even when I'm deliberately doing nothing I still achieve :-)
Ah, that might explain why there was no one I knew in the Calrton in the evening! Still, it meant I managed to make the R&B gig down at The Loco.
