Firstly it incorporates Friday which isn't technically the weekend...
Secondly, I only managed to write the title on an iPad so the bulk and actual content of this post is written on my concrete slab of a laptop...iSlab...
Apologies.
Anyway getting down to business we'll start with Friday.
That reminds me, check this website out: http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/
And the relevance to the fact I mentioned Friday: http://www.lefthandedtoons.com/621/
ANYWAY (jeez) Last Minute Wonders are not on top form at the moment. We're having a tough season but this is primarily down to considerable amounts of cheating by opposition alot of which, on the whole, consists of using players from better teams to replace missing players, but I go on about that enough as it is.
We drew 3-3 with second from bottom, FC Awesome, a team we've comfortably thrashed in the past. This was down to the fact "their" keeper is incredible. However, I cannot be too critical as we've used him when our keeper has been absent so I'd just end up being a hypocrite... Besides this we're currently sat in 4th out of 6. Not in the relegation zone but with two tough games coming up we need all the goals and points we can get to avoid the dreaded drop.
For those who actually know what I'm talking about (football by the way) you should stay tuned for regular Friday updates into how we're getting on and whether we do indeed stay in the top league for another year...
Now on to the actual weekend part. Saturday and Sunday were spent in Lyme Regis at the home of the gem that is Miss Alice Blackmore.
Saturday evening we went out into Exeter for her friends 21st. I was inexplicably ill and that is the truth not just an excuse for drinking too much. I genuinely only had 1 beer...
Despite my dodgy belly I really enjoyed the 3 places we visited in the course of the night. The first stop was the Bowling Green Pub which had live music. The band were playing the chorus of Plug In Baby by Muse as I walked in which was incredible.
The next stop were the Amber Rooms which was a really well laid out bar, with a dancefloor and for once plenty of places to sit and have a conversation. Although, I was absent from the majority of the time spent in there as I may have been walking to Alldays and back to buy some Rennie...by may have been I was.
Our final port of call was Timepiece. A club/bar/outside thingy area which was pretty cool and all the good things I'd heard about it were solidly reinforced. The walls surrounding the downstairs bar and dancefloor are filled with old school street signs, adverts and loads of memorabilia that make it look amazing.
Overall, discounting the dicky tummy it was a pretty decent evening out. Especially for my first experience of Exeter.
Sunday brought about a brilliantly cooked roast dinner by Alice's granny as well as a sunny afternoon playing football with her cousins in the park. Is there any better way to spend a Sunday?
To wrap up another excruciatingly long post, at least in terms of typing it, just a quick note to say that they'll be a sprinkling of updates this week and they'll most probably relate to Uni. Hopefully I can squeeze some sort of banter in there so you I don't bore your eyes right out of your head.
