I’ve not done a weekend review for a while, or any post really. So here goes, highlights from the weekend!

Friday
I went to see the film “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”. Now I am not really a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen, and in all honesty I was only going along with the majority vote. I will say that I am glad I did, because I enjoyed myself. It has been a while since I saw a film where I laughed out loud in the cinema. But maybe it was the beer. :0)

Saturday
Well as normal the morning was spent training, a bit of plinking, a bit of thuding, a bit of coffeejutsu, you know the normal stuff. Until the slight heart palpitations, when after picking up the bits I had not seen from my current grade the instructor asks “you ok with your grade now?”. We respond with “yes, just got to practice and master it now”, to which he replies “you have a week?”. MEEP! Luckily it was just a slight mistake and I have the month I thought I had.

And then some quiet drinks in the local village with some old school friends. Who did in fact look Old, they looked much older than me, they must have had a hard life?

Sunday
Nice relaxing day, mainly due to it being too cold and wet to do anything, or go anywhere, and I felt the oncoming of a cold… Well that was the plan, which failed miserably, when at 5pm I spotted one dog sat miserably on the drive and the other one wandering about on the road. After getting the dog in from the road, I discovered the reason the other dog had not escaped as well was during his attempt he’d got a large bramble branch wrapped up in his hair, locking his two back legs together with his tail.. Which meant a fight to try and free him, then a search about for the hole in the hedge they were using to escape, and a repair job in the freezing cold rain!

Bloody dogs..
