What did you do this weekend?

Friday: Daughter and grandkids left after 3 day visit. but SiL, niece, nephew in law and brand new great niece went to beach with wife, i joined them for a couple of hours, then to SiL for grill, plus other friends

Saturday: beach during day. dinner sitting at bar in favorite saturday night spot, with live music

Sunday: all day at beach, grilled down there. actually still there

Fri: friends with wine, played a game called Something’s Fishy, a Balderdash-style game.
Sat: Wrexham in Santa Barbara. Fun psychological observation about Humans and Fandom.
Sun: same friends plus bro-in-law and wife over here for dinner. Ribeyes and salmon.
Bro-in-law let slip to mo-in-law that he’d see her on Sunday. Mo-in-law got all butthurt about not getting invited, so she and husband are also coming.

Saturday: hanging out with friends and a soccer match
Sunday: local gathering for alumni from my college.

I think there’s a jigsaw puzzle in there somewhere.

Saturday finally got back out on the river. 4 of us caught 45 catfish in just over 2 hours. Pretty good day fishing. Got too hot to be out there longer.
Sunday moved dirt to fill in along new driveway and level said dirt to make a nice slope

Took the family out on Sunday to do some kid activities at the Tate Modern, and then watch the Lion King at the Lyceum Theater (West End London)

The 2:30pm showing was absolutely packed. Very popular show for kids.

Also hit up Viet Food for some great Vietnamese small bites as well (We love that place. It has such nice tapas style food).

I went to Walmart to buy 9-volt batteries for our smoke detectors. I said, “Holy Inflation, Batman! Those are expensive!!! WAM! POW!”

So I loaded my Target app to see what they’ve got going on there…about $0.50 cheaper. Woo hoo!

Hell, let’s check out scamazon while I’m at it—significantly cheaper! …but I don’t have prime anymore, so no smoking in bed until they arrive.

Wife’s friend couldn’t go to Green Day concert last night, so we paid less than face and went. Missed the opening acts and a song or two.
Still worth it.
Played American Idiot album in its entirety. Cuz 20th anniversary.
