Blokes' Night Out

There appears to be a Girls' Night In happening on Friday. Therefore, I have two options - stay in and drink beer, or go out and drink beer. For once, the latter seems like a better notion, especially since it's payday. Therefore, I propose a Blokes' Night Out. Either the Library Bar in town, or McSorleys here in Ranelagh, from after work until whenever. I'd propose the Porterhouse, but on a Friday, no thanks. Anyone going to join me? And is there a preference for town or Ranelagh?

Meditations on having been unwell

I feel irritable about the week just past; the flu was bad enough and persistent enough that I had to go to the doctor on Wednesday, and get a prescription and a cert keeping me out of work until Monday. I still have some aches and pains, but can lay claim to "better" at this stage. However, I feel I've wasted the time - either it could have better spent in work, or it could have been better spent at home, but I wasn't up to spending any time usefully. And yet I seem to have exhausted a week's leisure pursuits, leaving me with nothing to do this evening - or nothing I'm interested in - and a vague grouch and grump feeling. Bah to it all.
