Soo, it's been a month or so since my last proper update - let's have a summary:
Barbeque - We built a brick one which we have used on several occasions since. Seems to work well.
Sausages cooked on it are extra tasty due to science and I get to feel manly by cooking with fire.
Birthday - I was 32 on the 26th June. Had a quiet one at home with a few friends, using the aforementioned barbeque. Becky bought me a fantastic telephoto lens for my new SLR, which I've been trying to play with on sunny occasions, which alas have been few and far between.
Anyway, I've set up a FlickR page which I hope to add some more pics to soon
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27953749@N07/ Chickens - They're both laying now so we're getting a bit swamped in eggs, but they're also really nice to keep. There's something quite soothing about watching them and they have distinct personalities. They complain if they have to spend the day in their coop and will run up to the chicken wire to say hello if you come close. Mealworms are apparently the food of the gods.
London - We took a couple of days off this week and headed to London on the coach for dinner and a show. Avenue Q to be precise. Food was good, show was great, underground was not good, weather was just awful. Still, it was really nice to get out somewhere different. We managed to squeeze in some shopping in Camden and Tottenham Court Road too.
Coming Soon:
Aeroplanes - I'm tempted to head to RAF Fairford this weekend to see the air tattoo, mostly as the Vulcan will be making an appearance and I haven't seen it for about 20 years. This is of course depending on whether or not it decides to piss it down. Am really getting fed up with this weather. If I do go I'll stick the bike in the back of the car just in case we have a repeat of last year - the traffic queue started some 10 miles from the event.
France - Me and Becky have booked a long weekend in Paris to see some sights. I've never really been to France; I've passed through it and over it on many occasions, but never stopped to look. Relying on Becky's pre-GCSE knowledge of French as I only know how to get by in German and a few phrases of useful Japanese - neither really that useful in France.
