I have the job of entertaining my son and his friend today – they are embarking on a trip to Australia (via Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia and Bali) next Friday, so they are here for a couple of days to say goodbye – I don’t expect to see them back here much before Christmas 2018.
They are keen to have a trip out in my car (an old Porsche 911 that evidently still retains a little “street cred”) so we decide to drive to the outskirts of Norwich to fill up with petrol. We stop off at Lidl in North Walsham to grab a few bottles of beer, plus some flowers and chocolates for my wife as a thank you for all of her hard work.
We have a bite to eat (cheesy chips) and a beer for lunch in The Vernon Arms, and then decide to head over to our boat at Wayford Bridge and go for a little cruise down the river.
My wife cooks us all an evening meal, and then my son and his pal take their leave of us.
I calm the left leg tremor (which has been bugging me all day) with a little cannabis, pop open a bottle of beer and watch an episode of Dexter on Netflix.
