Weekend plans?
 
Wazzup y'all?

Last weekend was pretty crazy and hedonistic in Berlin so this weekend has the misfortune of being dull and boring. But I think there's a beach barbecue planned with some people. I've been assigned the kebabs and will do my best to make sure they get completely covered with sand.

Last weekend was mental for my mates stag do in Budapest. It took me until Tuesday to get over it......

This weekend is the wedding in RAK so will be on it..... Then its the Manchester derby on Saturday.... so will be in the pub for that.

Having visitors over so taking them to the Al Qasr brunch to 'wow' them.

In a couple of weeks I've got a stag do in Berlin for about 30 lads so that should be interesting...

I bet you're gutted. Kebabs indicate meat and meat is more expensive than lettuce. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Nah! We're not that bad. Can also see Pep putting out a weakened team with an eye on the return leg a few days later. The title is won after all.

Random one but anyone know a bar that will show the Masters golf with some volume tonight?

Not keen on being surrounded by golfing dickwads at a club though....

It's a long shot, but worth asking.

Tell me more about Budapest.

I'm still in a crazy and hedonistic mood but all I can do is relive memories of last week.

Who's got what on then?

I'm taking Mummy and the Mrs for a brunch and stay deal in the Dhabi. Looking forward to it to be honest. A few days of chilling out and not thinking about work will be glorious.

HH after work from 5 till 9ish. Will probably fall into bed afterwards though not saying whose bed!

Beach tomorrow morning. Nap afternoon. Around 4ish will go to an all day music festival at the St. Regis here and hang out till it finishes near midnight. Weather promises to be brilliant. Bands are all expat bands, mostly British/Australians, some decent, most are .... loud background noise. But I know a few of the folks so am looking forward to a good time.

Sat is the laundry/cooking churn :(

Scamp - go to the Lourve if you can? I am going to try to get down there my next visit to the UAE (if possible).

Sounds awesome.

Definitely want to try and get to the Louvre, it's on my list for Saturday.
Hoping to get up, brekkie, pool, chill and then have time to go visit there and enjoy it. Looks spectacular. I'm more interested in the building than the art I think.

That is often the case with new museum buildings these days.... ;) It is supposed to be spectacular. The photos online are amazing.

I am looking forward to wasting this weekend doing *&@*^(! &((^@ tax returns *(*^@#*!!
Got some Salt Caramel Baileys though, that should help...I hope!

Who's up to what then?

I've got a quiet one I think. Would like to squeeze some golf in but unlikely....got studying to do which is a day's worth...and might have to come into the office one day to catch up on shit before two weeks of work travelling :eek::ohmy:

Probably won't do any of that and instead get tanked up at the local tonight, sleep most of tomorrow and then repeat on Friday night with a mate whilst she's out.
