The calm before the storm...

After the NZ's went back home, the house was pretty quiet for a while. Its funny because whike the kids are here, its bedlam, but when they leave, you want a little bit (not all) of that bedlam back...preferably in the shape of a Max, Otis or Dharma...

The weekend was spent doing not a lot in Radlett. We went on a long walk, ending up in the pub for refreshments and had a couple of meals but in reality we didn't do a great deal.

Following week was the first real week back at work and that just dragged, although I did manage to only go in for two of the five days!

Last weekend we went up to Staffs. We went over to Jim & Lisa's on Friday night as I had to ask him if he'd be my Best Man...had I not mentioned SJ and I are getting married? How remiss of me...we are and its going to be in New Zealand! Date is likely to be Feb 2011 but yet to be confirmed. Venue is likely to be castaways - www.castaways.co.nz

On Saturday we took the bikes out for a blast around the Chase - we did the long blue route taking in about 16 miles and around 2 hours...was good fun. We then headed over to Underground Tattoo to discuss further body modifications, this time in the shape of a Koi design on my shoulder. Booked in for the 13th...should be fun...!

Saturday night we went to the Kings Repose Indian restaurant - food was good, service was awful. I asked for a wine list to be replied to with "What wine do you want"? to which I replied "I don't know, I haven't seen the list...". This was followed up with, "Well, we have red, white, rose, etc, etc" Not exactly endearing. This was then topped off as we were told to "CLEAR SOME SPACE" when the table warmers arrived...strange, I always thought this was the responsibility of the waiting staff?
