There's a long and rambling joke that ends with that punchline, but apart from remembering that it involves a sheepdog with bad breath I really can't remember it.
Been a busy morning. Taken mum shopping, booked the hotel in Hereford for my birthday (I'm going cider-tasting, oooo-arrrrr) and started checking flights etc for Vancouver.
We've hit a snag in that John has to be back here for a Churchill trust meeting thing in his chairman-esque capacity for the 15th May so if we're still going for 3 weeks we'll have to scoot those weeks up a touch...
According to Ebookers from the 19th April to the 10th May (leaving X2 at the end of week 2) it's a pretty pleasantly small 380-ish quid return.
Of course that's all theory cause if KAT can't get those weeks off or Dekie can't get up for then, or something else random and annoying happens then we'll have to think again, but it's good information to have and a start towards actually getting plans booked.
I'm debating whether to go to Leicester this afternoon or not. I know I only have 1 comic waiting for me (poor Wolvie all on his subscripted lonesome) but I'd also quite like to try and track down a birthday present for KAT.
Trouble is that I'm lazy and though I was definitely going to go when I thought about it yesterday, today I'm thinking... eh, maybe not so much.
Might go after work some day this week possibly... though I do want to read that issue cause... *sniffles* it's like... Chen drawing to a close (bad pun intended).
I wonder if John wants to come with me this afternoon... it's more sociable going with someone else.
