Weekend Wrapup

Friday - Struggled to work on tunes for a one off gig next Saturday. Just wasn't in the mood as I have been working on them the past week.

Saturday - Squeezed in a dog walk before the rain came and continued to mess with tunes.

Sunday - More rain so no dog walk of Taichi, so I practiced some at home. The rain started to clear by early noon and was smooth sailing for rehearsal for the one off gig coming next Saturday. In the evening, went to a friends home for dinner.
 
Saturday night went to see Agnostic Front and Dropkick Murphys. It was a great show and my first time at the Anthem. It is co-owned by the guy who owns the 9:30 Club and it is an awesome venue.

Saturday- more time with Mom and another dinner.

Sunday- came back home and decided to take a 7 mile hike in the woods. Something oddly satisfying about the snow and solitude this time of year.

What are you, a nature photographer? Looks great.
 
Fri - had the evening to myself, so did some cleaning and then had a few beers

Sat - nothing much

Sun - went swimming with my daughter, then had lunch and spent some time together. Did some laundry and more cleaning in evening.

Did you swim in a nearby lake or river?
 
Friday - met mrs jbj off the train for some drinks, stayed out later than we planned so cancelled our dinner plan and had microwave pizzas :/ few bottles of wine in the hot tub then bed.

Saturday - was meant to meet up with my friend John (the one who's dad has just passed) for a drink but he didn't feel up to it so I cooked thai green curry (the original plan from Friday) Bottle of wine in the hot tub, early bed, watched the first few Peaky Blinders - seems quite cool.

Sunday - Big derby football match, had breakfast, had a quick smoke and headed out to meet my dad in a local pub. We threw victory away but it was a good showing so not too fussed. Headed up the hill for a drink with the wife and some friends but tensions started boiling over with some punters so we finished up and headed home.

Cooked some steaks with mini baked potatoes, sat in the hot tub for a bit, started watchign Back To The Future but fell asleep. Early night as she was up at the crack of dawn to catch a flight.
 
Gig on Friday night (ARENA). Dio tribute band opened with a long set, then we played two hours with no break. Packed house. People loved it. And I think we may have landed a singer for the Def Lep tribute too.
Sat. - Made chestnut bisque, which we had with kalamata olive sourdough bread with melted Cotswald cheese on it. Drank some hot hard cider with spiced rum.
Sun. - Bought some new hiking boots for me and the Mrs., watched a few episodes of the new Jessica Jones season (moves kinds slowly, but it's getting good). Helped Walt Jr. with an outline for a paper.
 
Friday - A day at the office, and two days after a big snow, so there were a number of cancellations and no-shows. I did have a few show up. I also did some planning for my post-office life. Then home to chill.

Saturday - Carol was off for her debut as a clown in a parade.
