Sunshine and Escape

Clare and I had a lovely time last weekend. Friday saw us
enjoying a pint or two in the Dove before going to the Royal
India for a very good meal. On getting back home I was tired so
went to bed.

After a bit of a late start on Saturday we walked in to town and
once more investigated the Dove but sadly the beer choice was not
up to the standard I'm used to because they are having a beer
festival this week so the idea was to run down the selection of
ales a bit before it's starts this Wednesday when around 70 beers
and ciders will be on offer.

We then toddled off to Wilcos for a few bits and then it was the
bus home and some tv watching and malt slurping.

COLIN took us to Tesco on Sunday and then we had a bbq which was
a success, so much so that we are going to invest in a really
good charcoal burning one which should last us a good few years.
With the new table and other garden bits we've ordered I'm sure
Ellenbrook will become a nicer place to live.

I went into london on Monday for work and am on the train at the
moment preparing for some braille tuition at the office. This
week will find me at the office on Thursday and Friday but I'll
be back at home tonight because of an appointment in Grenich on
Wednesday.

I've got the urge to go over to Islay in June so I'm trying to
sort it out at the moment. It will be smashing to get back to
the piece and salty air of this most amazing of places if I can
find some digs for the busy june holiday season. We are probably
going to travel over on the berry rather than flying this time.
We may even take the sleeper train out of London to Glasgow
something that neither of us have done before.
