Time flies

One minute I am blogging about packing, the next I am back at work. Bit of a shock really.
Anyway Bruges is absolutely fantastic, a beautiful city and a lot less frantic than somewhere bigger. It made for a feeling of getting to know the place a little in our time. It helped that the weather [...]



Packing

I’ve done my placing of clothes ready to put in a bag, David is dilemma-ing about black tops and the rain. I have secret worries that I’m not taking anything smart enough for all the posh meals we’ll go out for!
I hope my little cat doesn’t get too stroppy with the lovely woman who has [...]



I am on holiday

We went for a meal last night which was absolutely fantastic. I had spinach and ricotta ravioli in mushroom sauce as a starter, saddle of lamb with gorgeous things (I can’t remember exactly) for a main course and for dessert an orange juice tart which crackled with every bite. If you’re my age you may [...]



1 day to go

HURRAH!
I woke up this morning (well technically yesterday morning now) thinking it was Friday, so it was a little bit depressing to find it was only Thursday.

5 places the cat quite likes to sit

On someone’s lap



Bloglines

Apparently I am not using it correctly, I have about 38 blogs registered on my list but I’m not very good at looking at it so the unread blogs build up rather. I then don’t want to look because there are too many to read, so we get an endless cycle. What I need to [...]



Changing the locks

Someone changed the locks while I was out at work today. They also changed the doors and a window, which is fair enough as they were being paid to do so – well not paid yet, but they will.
It was rather strange to come home to see everything all done and I’m very pleased with [...]



Tesco Clubcard vouchers

Trying to work out how to spend mine at the moment. While I could just take them to the store and hand them over in exchange for shopping, I quite like the magazine I get – I paid about £8 in vouchers and get a year subscription to Good Food. Bargain.



Lukewarm

I have a lukewarm bath waiting for me, it doesn’t really appeal to be honest. I started running it with hot water, checked on it half way through, when I went back it was lukewarm. Ho hum.
