This last weekend was pretty perfect! It started on Friday morning with a trip to the Medieval Fayre! Although it wasn’t totally what I expected, it was quite interesting going around all stalls looking at all the different crafts. The traders were dressed up and there was even a proper hog roast (with a full [...]
Where has this week gone?! I cannot believe how quickly this week seems to have vanished! Towards the end of last week I went to visit my family in London. Of course, yet again my nephew and niece have grown!! It was of course lovely to ‘chill’ down in London. It was a very necessary [...]
I’ve been asleep most of the evening! I have been really tired out by all the training I’ve been undertaking in the last week. Although I can see quite a number of practical applications using Perl. I dined at one of London’s most famous restaurants this evening. It was pleasant I had a big mac! [...]
I’ve had quite a lovely morning! I went out for breakfast this morning. I don’t often have a fried breakfast but today I did. What made it really nice, apart from the weather being good, was the fact that I didn’t have to make it and more importantly I didn’t have to wash it up! [...]
I have just spent the last two hours cleaning my study up! It’s now nine o’clock in the evening and I’m sitting down to do a bit of blogging with a nice glass of Portuguese wine! This week has been a pretty cool week. Not because it’s been phenomenally good, or that it’s been totally [...]
Why is it that we are kind of expected to leave a tip when we eat or drink in a restaurant or cafe? To me it does seem strange that it’s almost expected and sometimes is expected (especially when the service is of poor quality!). Why is it expected here? To many waiters and waitresses [...]
Do you think this posh waiter will be getting a tip?
On Thursday I watched the modern release of Doctor Zhivago (2002 – Granada; Kiera Knightley and Hans Matheson). It is probably the saddest film I have ever watched in my life and yet it is one that has had the biggest impact on me. It is a really well made film and the score is [...]
What a day it’s been! I took the day off work today (annual leave). The weather has actually been pretty good today, sunny but fairly windy. One might go as far to say we have had a ‘brisk’ wind! I have eaten out twice today both times at the King’s Head, however not the same [...]
On Saturday I was taken out for a meal with my next door neighbour to a ‘rural’ pub that I’d never heard of before despite traveling past there at least every two months. The meal was fab, as of course was the company. It is certainly a pub that I’ll go back to. On Sunday, [...]
