Weekend again

A short week at work, with Monday being Easter.

Thursday evening was down Weatherspoons with Joanne and Eleanor, which was very nice and unexpected.

A quiet weekend, with Saturday being gym early in the Morning, with the afternoon teaching Eleanor and Noah how to sail the boat, especially getting in and out of the dyke. A few minor mishaps but overall went very well.

Today, Sunday, was a quick food shop with Joanne, then a late breakfast in Olives down Magdelen.

Easter comes to an end

It's Monday early evening. Joanne is in the living room, Eleanor is in her room, Noah is out somewhere, and Luger is laying on the kitchen floor near to me awaiting his dinner. Yesterday morning I was up at six to go to the gym. But Eleanor appeared and was in a real state. She'd been 'freaking out all night' and hadn't slept. A real return back to her old days. Really awful day for her, even to a degree where she'd cut her long hair off. Joanne and I spent the day doing DIY and cleaning. I hung up two of Joanne's pictures and put the aluminium board on the wall ready for the guitar. In the evening up to 'in laws' for dinner. All four (five with Luger) went up for ham and lamb. Eleanor in poor state and stayed the night there. Today, Monday, a quiet stroll into town for coffee, and then beer and burger at Brewdog. Then home for a sleep. Also did plenty of French today; trying to get back into writing it!  

Trip to Cambridge

Joanne and I went to Cambridge today on the Train.

It's Easter Bank holiday weekend, and we went down on the Saturday

What did we do, well shopping really. First coffee in one of the chain coffee shops, shame to really, but couldn't really find a quiet independent. A secondhand Bauhaus album, The Sky's Gone Out, from the market. Then nothing in Jaeger (just gone into liquidation), then some trousers in Reiss. A couple of books in Heffers, Andre Gide's The Immoralists and Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence.

Then burger, beer, and chips in Byron Burger. Then Joanne got the Trainspotting album in the alternative, but really HMV, record shop. 

Then both tired and so got the train home.

First time back for a long time

Don't know why, but just got out of the habit of blogging on. The last time was in November. So I've missed Christmas, new year, boating, gigs, reading and so forth.

I need to though to log the books that I've read, and then catch up on them properly.
