My week in pictures: Dom Joly

Weather is beautiful – my kids, Parker and Jackson, decided that they want to camp for the night in the garden of our house in the Cotswolds Photograph: Dom Joly

I leave them to it and whizz up to London for the last of my warm-up dates for my upcoming tour. It's at the wonderful Prince Charles Cinema off Leicester Square which, in the past, has let me film all sorts of pranks and stunts on their unsuspecting clientele Photograph: Dom Joly

The gig goes well and I join my oldest friend, Peter Wilkins (co-star of my around the world drinking series, Dom Joly's Happy Hour) in the Groucho Club for a recession-busting bottle of champagne. Peter lives in Newfoundland so I don't get to see him that often Photograph: Dom Joly

Off to the village pub for lunch. It's a really chilled "local" pub with no gastro pretensions. It's all very "country" except that, for some extraordinary reason, the band Bloc Party turn up just as we are leaving... I'm still not sure why Photograph: Dom Joly

Guillermo Luis-Paragon, the finest classical guitar player Colombia has ever produced, is staying with us for a couple of days before heading off to Wales for a world music festival Photograph: Dom Joly

After lunch we visit the gardens of a neighbour who has purchased a new duck house that would make a Tory MP go quite green with jealousy. Guillermo tells us that there are many Colombians living in inferior housing Photograph: Dom Joly
