Saturday - Taking the MG for a service many a mile away and then the usual housework and child-rearing. Get pissed while watching Rockwiz.
Sunday - Hiring a 'ute, getting some swings from many a mile away, going to Ikea to collect a bookcase, getting a water tank for the garden, getting a stepladder from Bunnings, returning 'ute. Assembling bookcase, swings and finding a place for the tank, delivering ladder.
Monday - Mowing probably.
Might get some cricket-watching in if I'm lucky. Here's to the laid-back lifestyle.
