Today I Feel Good Because...

[Jasminebed]

Today the sun is shining. Still too cool to sit outside, but looks like by next week hopefully.

Friend is picking up some hot dogs and buns and heading over soon. I'll ask her to pick me up a can of porter or stout too, as need to make more mustard. I actually like basic yellow mustard on a hot dog, but I like whole grain mustards for a lot of other dishes. Last one just used a blonde beer, wanted something less distinctive for Easter ham.

playing it by ear here, want to go my bud's and chill, but weather up in the air and grey and looking like rain; if the sun busts out, im hopping on the bike and tooting over to enjoy
beer sounds yummy though

Well, is May Two-Four weekend coming up. Funny that we still celebrate Victoria day while the UK does not.

from wiki (links/citations removed)

Victoria Day (French Fête de la Reine, or "Celebration of the Queen") is a federal Canadian public holday celebrated on the last Monday preceding May 24, in honour of Queen vicoria's birthday. As such, it is the Monday between the 18th to the 24th inclusive, and thus is always the penultimate Monday of May. The date is simultaneously that on which the current Canadian sovereign's official birthday is recognized. It is sometimes informally considered the beginning of the summer season in Canada.

The holiday has been observed in Canada since at least 1845, originally falling on Victoria's actual birthday (May 24, 1819). It continues to be celebrated in various fashions across the country; the holiday has always been a distinctly Canadian observance.Victoria Day is a federal statutory holiday as well as a holiday in six of Canada's ten provinces and all three of its territories.

Ftr, noone here gives a rat's bum it's the queen's birthday - it's a long weekend and usually marks the beginning of summer for camping and BBQs and drinking

turned out to be a rotten, freezing, rainstorm night
however
it's what usually happens may 24 weekend even though we hope otherwise
so still made the best of it...tunes, drinks, friends indoors
life...and fun is what you make of it

(if youre not Canadian, May 24 might not have the same impact and importance)

Twenty years ago, I planted a bag of 40 tulip bulbs. Only two remain, and today they out.

Cut one for my desk.

The sun is shining, and it is finally warming up

Also, I lived in Charlton back in '98 when they beat Sunderland beat Sunderland at Wembley, after a 4-4 draw. I remember being precariously perched off my balcony as the team did its bus parade too

Today Charlton beat them again in pretty dramatic circumstances, so it's great to see a club of my formative years do so well again, against the odds

Up the Addicks!

Today I feel good because I've not been out in ages and going out with the boys for footy and a curry later....tomorrow I may not feel so good


Edit: Ive just realised it's Friday not Saturday! Still feeling good

 

[goatwack]

I see I went all 'Jimmy Two-times' in my late-eve ramblings. Something about Charlton or some shit



Today I will maybe feel happy as I go to book some more Marina tickets for October. Only saw her early May but the greedy b*tch wants to rinse her fans

Tickets go on sale in 20 minutes. Holy jeepers!

My great uncle Sam Bartram played in goal for Charlton between the 30's and 50's and he was known as the greatest goalkeeper that England never used. He has a statue outside the ground

I bet it was your Uncle Sam who said that too!

TBH I never met the guy but he went on to manage a few clubs then became a sports writer.

I had almost a box seat when Charlton played at night. By that I mean I could see a fragment of the pitch, some lighting, and the odd blurry player floating into view from a thousand yards

How far can an air rifle fire too? I can imagine that could be good sport

Managed to clip Mark Fish in the left buttock

No one noticed

He probably just thought that one of the opposition had given him a hook

His defending was cod- awful to be fair
