Remember I had to go to Kent last Friday? (well, I did), this Friday work had agreed to pick up the tab for a Honey monster and me tea. We went to Thyme cafe. By far my favourite not-too-expensive restaurant in Sheffield. Got home and watched 28 weeks later. Not a patch on 28 days.
Saturdays means Raven Tor. Whilst there was a fresh breeze it was only any use when it was blowing, and it was by no means constant. When it wasn't blowing it was massively humid. I'm sticking to this as both Steve Mac and Andy Harris proclaimed 'not great' conditions. Shot through the start of Staminaband two or three times but the powerband pockets felt soapy. Good crowd out - Ed Robinson, Dan Knight (driven from magic wood to dorset, stopped overnight and then up at 5 to drive to the tor - now that's keen), Andy Harris, Rae and Scut, Steve Mac, Keith Bradbury (yay) and the ubiquitous Stone. Ed looked beefy, and Keif was strong. Left the crag at 1300. Nothing went down. A bit disgruntled as I had thought (hoped) that something would. More interest in Blueband now. Never really spent too long looking at it, but figured that the last move looks pretty hard and dismissed it as being too much so. Might want to revisit this on Wednesday.
Went to watch the Transformers film in the evening. Absolute tripe. Pocket predator had prepared the house for our return with a fresh (i.e. alive) mouse. Cue 2 hour mouse standoff in our bedroom. Drove to Manchester on Sunday for a christening. Found the ceremony, and specifically the assertion that to be christened is to be 'given over to jesus' rather troubling. Wonder what to do if we have kidlets, i.e. I fundamentally disagree with the content, but our parents will want us to go, and its just words, there's no harm in it? is there? Anyway, stopped in Outside on the way back and bought Alpinist. Its £10. Nice pictures and good writing though. Had a barbecue, Lee came round. I drank wine. Feel a bit ropey today. Hopefully the fog will lift by this afternoon, or else the board session will be nearly pointless. Although in this heat it will probably be pointless anyway.
All on a bit of a downer today. That's thanks to a lack of sleep (too hot)/a mild hangover/protracted lack of success rock climbing/being indoors when the sun is out/the sun being out and making it all too hot.

Yeah, just banged his head apparently and is fine. Let me know what you find at Greasebok. Suspect that mightnt be such a bad choice today. I cant come, you know I cant come, I dont taunt you when you are at work do i? hmm? well then. Buffoon.
