Nothing much happened last weekend, so I didn’t bother doing an entry. I just spent the weekend relaxing and tidying the house. Work plods along. The sun has started coming out at last. Life goes on…
This weekend, my old work colleagues Ruairidh and Sarah, and Sarah’s husband Geoff, and their 2 dogs visited for a night out in Shrewsbury. Sarah and Geoff arrived in time to catch the end of the Royal wedding. Various nibbles and a bottle of wine later and Ruairidh arrived, with 3 minutes to spare before the taxi arrived.
We headed out to Traitor’s Gate, for a wonderful meal. I had marinated oyster mushrooms to start, followed by red seabream and vegetables, finished off with strawberry shortbread for dessert. All washed down with a couple of bottles of red.
Afterwards, we headed back to my house for more wine, cheese and biscuits, and some silly games (Kerplunk, followed by Scattegories).
The next morning, apparently, one of the dogs spotted a squirrel and had a good bark at about 6am, waking Sarah. I didn’t hear a thing though! I came down stairs at about 8:30 to find Sarah playing with the R2D2 jigsaw (and making reasonable progress!). After Geoff and Ruairidh appeared, we had coffee and bacon sandwiches, and were entertained by fascinating facts from Geoff (apparently the world speed eating record for eating pickled onions is 90 onions in 30 seconds!).
