the weekend stops here

Here in Long Ashton, the first weekend of September is chock full of things to do; two days of Harbourside Food Festival in Bristol, two days of International Kite Festival at Ashton Court just up the road, and various village activities - village walk, Flower Show, pub quiz.

We planned to do all of them, and in the end did none, as perlmonger and I have been struck by some vile lurgy which has left us exhausted and listless for several days.

On Saturday we struggled over to the Retail Hell that is St Phillips to pick up something for kalunina (and they didn't have one - GNASH). and yesterday morning P drove up to the farm shop to fetch a chickie! to have something simple to cook and eat for dinner. Other than that,we haven't set foot out of the house for days, nor done any proper work.

And that must change, as we are up to <-> here with work, and must start back today with a vengeance. Luckily I feel a little better this morning ...
