Weekend cancelled….

Here’s the skinny. I was meant to go stay with Daryl this weekend and get some radical footage. And there was talking of Becky and Emily going on a little road trip next week. However, this wasn’t meant to be.

First hurdle was that the weather looked pretty balls for this weekend. We crossed our fingers and hoped for the best.

Second hurdle was that we found out that Daryl and Becky wouldn’t even be around on Friday until 4 o clock at the earliest. I’d booked the day off to try and avoid the shitty M25 traffic – but given that 4 o clock was the earliest we’d be able to get there, it seemed more and more likely that we’d end up in shitty start of half-term traffic.

Third hurdle was that Emily was offered a job interview in London.. ON TUESDAY. But that doesn’t matter because…

Fourth hurdle was was that yesterday, Daryl told me that Becky is suffering from a pretty bad virus. This means that she’d probably not be skating for the whole of this week (Get well soon, Becky!). Either way it seemed that Becky and Emily weren’t gonna get to do their road trip. Daryl still said we were welcome to come down, but it just didn’t seem right to go all the way down there and then miss out on skating with Becky after she’d been out of skating for so long.

So we decided me and Emily would go to Eaton Bray today and decide what we’re doing from there. That way we could still go to Daryl’s if we really wanted to after the little skate today. That wasn’t meant to be either…

Firstly, I woke up this morning with the shittest headache. I felt really weak and I felt like any water I drank was about to come back up, with last night’s dinner accompanying it.

Secondly, Emily was offered some temporary work for today only. Despite not wanting to work, we both agreed it was a more productive use of her time than doing nothing at home because I was too ill to drive down and skate.

Bottom line; weekend is cancelled. Overall, it just seemed like the universe was trying to tell us that this weekend wasn’t the time to get radical with Mr and Mrs Nobbs. Another time, maybe? If I actually manage to skate at all this weekend, I’ll attempt to make some kind of edit (as I did promise you all an edit of footage from this weekend, and I’m a man of my word)…
