A frustrating week

On the good side, I have done without the crutches al week, although I spent Thursday on my feet and have some more swelling to show for it.

We had the new TV and new cable box delivered on Wednesday, so we should have been able to at last watch Hi Def TV, but it seems the cable box was faulty and had to be replaced yesterday.

Now we realy do have HD TV, and it is great, watch part one of "Blue Planet" as soon as the cable guy had left and it was great

Our other new addition is we now have an Apple Computer, this is sat next to the main TV so we can stream content off the web straight of the web an into our living room - which the BBC are due to start doing soon

Today, I am off to Truckfest in Peterborough, for work lets hope it stops raining soon!

Well done Adam

His Rugby team beat Cliffton 20 - nil at the weekend, well done to all of the team

Easter Recovery

Well the swelling and brusing have almost gone, just the dull ache continues.

On the brighter side, Saturday was a great day, with the sun shining so we had the roof bars out and ran around the M25 to Bluewater.

What did we buy, watch this space!

Easter Ouch

Fell off a wall and damaged all of the ligaments in my left foot. Thank goodness the Smart is semi automatic.

Didn't even get a Chocolate egg.

Veg Plots and Roof Bars

Great weather on Saturday, so roof bars out for the first time in 2006, drove over to the driving range in Croydon and hit a couple of buckets, great way to spend the afternoon!

Saturday afternoon we built a raise vegitable bed in the garden, brought a couple of new oak railway sleepers and used them for the sides, it looks realy good.

Went to the garden centre and brought some plants, beans and tomatos to plant next week once the threat of frost has gone away.

Cant beleive I drove to work this morning and it had snowed, In April!!! some of the cars coming from the other direction had up to an inch of snow on them.

Paris

Well We had a great time, and here are some of the photos to prove it!!

Had some great meals out, ate at Petti Zinc, Lipp and a few smaller resturants around south Paris.

The hotel was great, nice and comfortable, and the breakfast was nice. It was only a few metro stops from the centre of town and therefor was quite reasonabley priced as well

I should point out at this point that we went by train, rather than drive. We saw too many smart's to count in Paris, mostly fortwos, but we did see two Roadsters and two forfours as well

All in all a great weekend ~:o)
