Social life

It has been a week of doing stuff and meeting people, and a very nice week it has been.

On Monday I meet my brother and his family in Birmingham, so watch my nephew sing in the Music for youth festival (http://www.mfy.org.uk/coreseason/national). They where very good and so where all the other contestants.

In the evening we had the 'Monday Group' round for games and wine. They were also very patient and supportive as I sort out my insurance claim

Thursday we went to London to hand in are passports. While waiting to go into the embassy a lady approach Wayne and said that she recognised him from the forum so he felt a bit famous. after we handed are passports in and picked up are raffle ticket (high tech!) we went to Islington and met Kevin and Ollie, who used to play a well known online game. Kevin has just that his own business and Ollie is trying to become a sound engineer. They both had different jobs which they didn't really like. I was very impressed with there courage and wish them both good luck.

We had a little walk round Marble Arch and Oxford street before heading home.

Friday we went to Lucy and Paul's for a bbq and met you with lot of people we haven't seen for a while. We left them drinking marshmallow vodka, which smelt sickly.





Saturday and we were in Birmingham again, meeting with Brandi and Tasha. We chilled by the canal and then went for Japanese food. The food was cooked in front of us which was very impressive and it was very yummy.

Today is lunch with the inlaws, which brings us back to Monday again!

19 Holes

Well...I am always up for trying new things and yesterday I found myself on a golf course swinging some bats (clubs) and trying to play a game I don't/didn't understand.

It is a game all about consistency and accuracy - two things I am not particularly good with sport. I blame weak arms. It was fun and required a lot of concentration. I learnt that I need more power in my drives and less in my putting.

I think I could play again ... but maybe not very often.

We then deiced to visit the 19th hole for a spot of lunch, which ended up with us staying in pub(s) most of the afternoon and at Stu and Helen's. We watched Withnail and I, Wayne fell asleep but did amuse us by talking in his sleep.

An awesome unplanned Saturday.

A wedding gift

Wayne and I have been married for two years now and one of the wedding gifts that we received was a hand carved picture frame, well we finally got around to find commissioning a picture that was perfect for it.


So here is the finished product
I think it looks great and It will look even better when we put it above the fire place but we need to get the right supports for it first as we don't want it to fall down!

Thanks for the great frame Ella and James and the awesome picture Stu... check out Stu website (http://www.stuart-carter.co.uk/) when you need a photographer

Saturday

So this Saturday was catch up it with friends day. Both Wayne and I seem to be very busy doing 'stuff' so we figured that Saturday would be a good day to catch up with some friends, Luckily they were all in the same town :). The plan was to see some old college friends of Wayne's then pop in and see Ella and James then Stuart and Viv.

Unfortunately Wayne's Friend had a similar idea and where drive south as we where heading north! so to Ella's where James had been showing Leona pictures of us so that she would be able to say our names , I think that Wayne's hair put her off a little though.

But she was very enthusiastic that I open one of my birthday - it is a retractable pen - called Man - it is very cool.



Joanne was also very cute and is enthusiastic trying to imitate her big sister. Ella and James are doing really well and we all had a jolly time catching up.

We then went to See Stuart and Viv, and they are well and busy...they live next to my old house and it is always fun to see how the street has changed and to get all the gossip. We then went back to Nottingham and after a quick change met up with some old uni Friends for a nice meal. Next year will be 10 years since we started uni and it great to catch up with everyone and see how well they have/ haven't changed.




I hope to see everyone again very soon and if not before Christmas, I hope they have super Christmas and a great new year.
