Reply to: Did you have a nice weekend?

[Lockhouse]

Yes thanks, just got back from a brilliant weekend in Cornwall!

Friday, nice drive down stopped off at St Ives plus had dinner at a decent restaurant in Mousehole.

Saturday, did the cliff walk from Lamorna Cove to Mousehole, then visited Penzance and Newlyn to buy some fresh monkfish and scallops. Back to the cottage to cook.

Sunday, went to St Michael's Mount, some lovely beaches and did some more walking. Had dinner cooked in for us by a local celeb chef.

Monday came home via the Eden Project and a late lunch of fresh crab and whitebait in Mevagissey.

Just a brilliant weekend, the sun shone - Britain at it's best.

I thought you said they were cannabis?

Did I miss the quotes around Chilli? Apologies

[Pondlife]

It was lovely, thanks for asking.

Went for a bit of a nosey around town on Sat.

Went to a Christening Sunday morning not realising that the town it was in had more than one church (google didn't know either). Invite said 11:30 and so arrived promptly at 11:25 despite getting lost and having to ask a policelady. Enquired in the church and yes there was a chirstening about to start, fortunatley decided to double check the name of the family. FOOK. mad dash down the hill and round the corner to the correct church where by sheer good luck my mate was stood outside on the pavement. I didn't even know there was a church there.

my chilli plants, which have been wintering, are already in flower....

There's something odd, 21 degrees in March, a whole week of it, and my chilli plants, which have been wintering, are already in flower....

I remember last may being wonderful, we took a week out and it was cracking, whence followed about 6 weeks of tulip weather. Thinking of gambling a week on this...

Thinking of having a week off and enjoying an even earlier summer than normal, as the rest is bound to be tulip.

I have been thinking the same thing. Last few summers have not been great. Though wasn't last Autumn amazing?

The place I went for a picnic, we were there 5 months ago (mid November).

I suppose its global warming!

Nice day out in the park with middle and young daughters on Sat, eldest on sleep over.

Great paddle out into the channel on Sun and then swim with the kids.

Magic.

Great Sunday in Tatton Park. The weather was perfect - not too hot and not too cold. Cycled with Mrs NWMP and Baby NWMP. Then joined some friends for a BBQ in the same park. Awesome. Place was packed.

Why not use the duff Graphics Card as an excure to upgrade?

Upgrade? Its a Nvidia 570GTX already, plenty fast enough when its working. Only 2 options really, 580 or 590 and the 590 is like £600-£700, so no VFM there.

May consider the 580 if I end up getting a credit note from them.

Breakfast, Smoke, Couple of episode of Spartacus - Blood and sand.
Lunch, Smoke, Few more episodes of Spartacus
Tea, Smoke, Finish the series of Spartacus.

Oh yeah and somewhere in between all that I put on a couple of loads of washing, tidied and cleaned the kitchen and hoovered a bit.

Sunday, I woke at "8" to find it was 9 and had missed all of Match of the Day. Popped to Tesco. Put on a Gammon for lunch, peeled spuds etc. Chilled for the rest of the day.

Wife is away for the week, and my graphics card is still not back from the Scan. Grrrrr!!

Personally I went to see a mate Friday night, then took baby bp to the zoo (Howletts) on Saturday. Saturday night was my daughter's sleepover - five 10 year old girls in the house . Baby bp loved it, elder son hated it(though letting him watch hangover2 placated him a little). Sunday went for a picnic at Leeds Castle. Last night we watched avatar.

Saturday we went for a walk around Reeth on Saturday after a pub lunch without children.

Sunday pottered around the house and ran a few errands including washing the car. it will be dirty again by next weekend.
