May. 21st, 2007 04:10 pmFriday, Bradford's monthly comedy gig, Bag Of Quips (ugh), first time I'd managed to get there. ( Read more... ) Not really worth ploughing through the pissheads in the city centre at half eleven on a Friday night, though, unless it was someone amazing on. Leeds it is.
Managed to get up in time for a farmers' market on Sunday, just, and it was fun; surprised that there were no veg at all, but lots of interesting local meats (guinea fowl, rare breed beef, goat...), jams/chutneys, bread, some cheeses- well worth going. Intended to nip in to Harvey Nicks for a weeny jar of blackcurrant jam (60p), got ambushed by the sushi bar (£15), oops. (Incidentally, they've got some interesting chocolates in there).
Saturday-Sunday was the first 24 hours it hadn't rained for about a fortnight, so I sighed, and mowed the lawn and weeded and pruned, being clawed by several vicious roses- I wouldn't mind quite so much if they showed any inclination to flower at all, but they're straggly items with no decorative value who just lurk behind other things and wait their opportunity to lash out at you. *sucks scratches*.
I actually managed to finish Saturday's paper by the end of Sunday, which never happens!
