Up ten something. It was going to be a relaxing Saturday but some more documents came in from the solicitors so we had to change plans. These documents are so complicated that they had 5 "Sign Here" stickers attached, and someone else had to witness the signing. We caught a bus to the seafront, threw 3 rocks each, decided it was a bad idea in the driving rain and bussed onwards to Jof. She didn't have time to sign and get witnesses so we wandered into town and bought slippers in the market, as you do. The 4th bus took us round the houses and home.
A cat rescue-related charity shop sold me Lego Bionicle Barraki "Mantax 8919" and some random loose bits for £2 so I added them to my collection and spent happy hours pitting the High Priests of darkness against each other. Mantax comes with 2 'Squid ammo' rubbery projectiles that look like mutant alien tadpoles.
We ran through the drizzle to Pops' house to get Popsdad to witness the signing your life away thing. It was only 545 but they were having supper, srsly, I eat at 7 or 8. So because we were clearly distracting Pops from eating her supper, we had to go, even though I was having lots of fun with their hot-wheels contraption fixed to the wall where you whizz the wheel around and the car crashes like someone blogging and driving at the same time....
A couple of weeks ago I had 'last bath fizzer night in this house'. I've had 2 since. That's sleeping solicitors for you.
