Mostly the weekend was spent in the sunshine, listening the Test Match or eating Mexican food.
Had a Mexican takeaway for Friday dinner. It was fine. MLW suggests that Mexican food is perhaps best eaten hot and freshly delivered to your table. I think she is probably correct. Got a takeaway from a small chain. Enjoyable and some interesting food but perhaps not a great delivery option. I fancied the even more interesting and closer local restaurant but their website was pretty unclear about whether they did takeaway, delivery, or what and on what days they might do this - so on the grounds that it was too hard to do business with them, I didn't.
Watched the final episode of Taskmaster, Season 11. Glad to see Sarah Kendall win, partly because she's an Aussie and partly because she's the spitting image of an old uni girlfriend, which just made me warm to her.
After everyone else had gone to bed I watched Guy Ritchie's Rocknrolla. I enjoy a good Guy Ritchie film but they are very similar. He does a decent crime caper film. Not convinced Thandiwe Newton is a good actor.
Saturday a day trip to Roslyn to inspect the holiday home for the guinea pigs. It is apparently lovely (I didn't go in) and run by a colleague of a friend of ours who, the friend, is our friendly go to expert on guinea pigs. So MLW and the Captain are delighted by that. Then on to some friends' house to sit in their garden. One of them reviews things for Amazon and had a host of interesting canned drinks. We talked a little about how COVID-19 might change the way people work and then, when MLW and the Captain returned from their guinea pig errand, caught up generally, discussed Guy Ritchie films, breweries and summer holiday plans.
Home, cooked some chicken fajitas to use up some of the spare Mexican takeway sauces. That was nice.
Sunday was a intra-club P6/P7 touch festival. Mashed the P6 and P7 groups together in to 5 teams and played a round robin tournament. Nice to see the kids getting a bit of game time. The P7's are definitely more organised and quicker to respond but our P6's were not too far off the pace. I didn't have much to do, the P7 coach assigned to our team did most of the thinking. Mostly making sure the kids were hydrated.
Home after the rugby. Cooked pork chops. Listened to the last few sessions of the Test. Pretty poor gumption by England and a very poor effort in their second innings.
MLW was out meeting a friend on Sunday evening so I took myself off to bed with an audio book, Troy, by Stephen Fry. That was quite pleasant.
