Weekend was ace wasn't it? We started with a lunchtime pint with work at a nice pub called The Drum, then a few drinks just the wife and me. Saturday we headed to The Whole World Cafe, and what do you know it was actually open this time? We were a bit previous on our other two visits. It's a nice place, not sure they're quite up to speed yet, but salads and coffee and juice were good, and it's nice decor and atmosphere. We also took a stroll round the town and down to the beach, and yes there were people sunbathing and swimming.
Saturday night we just sat in The Providence, which is OK. I much prefer The Ship, but at least the Provi is quiet enough to get a table and for us to be able to hear Clare's softly spoken dad speaking. I think we put the world to rights, I'm not entirely sure.
Sunday, up early, heading off to Twickenham. Engineering works on the trains meant we talked the aforementioned pa-in-law into taking us to Ashford in the car, so as to save an hour off our total journey. That didn't really work out quite so well as we'd have liked, we were stuck in the jam for over an hour, missed our train, and Jim must have been regretting helping us out. We did eventually get to Ashford though, some people were held up on the motorway for five or six hours...
The rugby was absolutely brilliant, a high scoring game with most of the tries being scored down our end too. It really makes a difference being there on a sunny day, in great seats. Good work Andy on procuring the tickets.
The journey home was a bit slower, but still not too bad, so we extended the weekend a bit with a meal at Escondido, which was fantastic as ever.

One trip to Lakeside later, and we have a new sofa, a sort of L-shape, and not in leather. It's a shade darker than that one in the picture, and it'll be here in about eight weeks. SMART!
Dinner tonight at Escondido, and a few drinks in Sandgate too I think.
Hey, now we have the sofa I'm allowed to get a new computer!

Finished the wardrobe at last, doors on, shelves in, etc. The room's looking a bit bare now without clothes hung randomly about the place, I'm sure we'll soon sort that out.
Saturday shopped in Canterbury, and went out in Sandgate on Saturday night, for a change. A nice crawl of The Providence, Gate 28, The Ship and the little fish and chip shop.
Sunday finally got some use out of my little computer, I converted some new episodes of LOST. So now I can watch them on the train! Picture and sound quality are great, and it's even widescreen (with the little computer turned sideways). Too tired to watch them this morning, but SOON, oh yes. Need to get my DVD burner out of the old broken computer so we can watch these on the TV too...
Man it's cold today, I wish it was still the weekend.
