timely update

had an amazing week down in that cornwall, no-one there and we had a stupendous week of sunny weather. the surf started out huge and gradually tailed off all week, has some superb days in the middle where it was 2-3 foot and glassy. roll on the summertime and evenings after work in the water!

not 1 but 2 lovely meals whilst we were on hols - the first in Custard. yet again, an excellent meal for an excellent price. I cannot recommend this place highly enough! the 2nd was at Margots Bistro, somewhere we've wanted to try for ages. well it was worth the wait. the food and the service were both superb and we'll definitely be going back given the chance :D

also it was my birthday yesterday so I had a few friends down to devon for the weekend. great to see you paul, ralph, simon, jamie and rach. thanks for making the big journey it was really nice to catch up with you all. GLC rocked The Cavern in Exeter on Friday night and then we all rocked the Timepiece (or something, I don't know, it was all a bit blurry by that point). Saturday was sunniest day of the year so far and the garden got a spruce and we had a rather civilised BBQ. ACE!

might have sold the mini - only put it on auto trader on Sunday. fingers crossed for the cash buyer coming later today!

no news is good news?

I bit the bullet and finally bought a new TV. The old CRT was taking up ridiculous amounts of room along with the enormous Yamaha AV amp. The AV amp went up for sale on avforums and sold quickly, which was nice. The massive old boxes have been replaced by a panasonic lcd and sony surround system which has tiny golf ball sized speakers. All this is hooked up to a PS3 which I have to say is also, bluddy grate. not sure where the money for this lot came from, I think I may have made us poor. Having said that the Loewe CRT I bought what must've been 10 years ago is still going strong so fingers crossed this will all last a long time. Been having lots of success getting rid of old stuff on ebay recently, is this a credit crunch thing? Are more people shopping for bargains on there?

Time now to start thinking about the garden as we have a ready-to-go veg garden coming in the not too distant future. That means we need to fence off an area from the sheep, and get digging. I think I'm going to need a rotivatorrrr.
