I should be so lucky

No real news of any note, I left work today to find some tosser had swiped my bike. I was pretty pissed for a while as it's only just had a new tyre, anyhow at least I can get a new one now. It just means ill be using Ann's bike for a while, also will be getting some water proof trousers I have been soaked more times than I care to remember.

The parents were over for a few days which was nice, we ate out loads, had a nice meal in Saba. They had 3 course's for 25 squid, what a result! We thought it might be a little on the pricey side. strongly recommend it the place was packed as well, good considering it was a Tuesday. Just goes to show what a healthy price drop can do for business.

We also went to Glendalough I got within touching distance of the boulders before it rained, typical!

Haven't done any climbing since Monday was going to leave it another week as my wrist doesn't really seem to have healed much. I still don't have full range of movement so was going to do the sensible thing however I'm really bored after a week of no climbing or running.

So to the future Dec has kindly organised a trip in January to Sheffield, I want to be going well for that as it's full of wads over there. So from tomorrow I'm back in the game to the coop for some serious training hopefully the wrist will hold up.

On a side note I got progression on DVD, I know it's been well reviewed so I wont bother just to say I really enjoyed it and watch it if you get a chance.

Licensed to Wed

On my lunch break on Wednesday I tore into town to arrange are wedding license with Ann. Firstly I had to ring up and confirm were the appointment was as Ann had gone and booked it right when I was going to font! priority's as they are I managed to rebook, this is quiet a feet apparently as there is a waiting list and you have to do the thing 3 months before the wedding day.



Anyhow in my excitement I just wrote in Ann's Filofax wedding thing 2 o'clock, no place or with whom. It transpired it was on Lombard st, so I get the dart and meet Ann and off we troop. We go up to the 3rd floor of a very grotty building were this woman checks are id's and who's going to be a witness, date and time etc. Shes talking about this special day of getting the licence neither Ann nor i realised it was supposed to be special or we wouldn't have tried to do it on the lunch break. I don't think she really believed it was special or they would tart up the office a bit.



Business sorted she explains the licence telling us if we change a witness the priest needs to sign and initial, it turns out everything can be changed except the date as it has to be 3 months in advance. When we got out I warned Ann EVERYTHING can be changed except the date so she had better be on her best behaviour!!!!!!



Tim Chapman licence to wed!!!

There's a font update to follow just waiting for Ann to stop hogging the laptop.

Food

Yesterday as I was searching the fridge for the freshest lettuce I noticed one of them had a best before date of Wednesday! No actual date you just had to guess which Wednesday.

Then whilst flitting around Donnybrook fayre I was waiting at the meat counter reading the signs that said, "quality butchers" and "trained experts" when the lady in front asked "what is in the chicken Kiev"? The trained Butcher replied " you know chicken and stuff!!!"
This is an old post i just found and hadn't posted thought id stick it up anyhow.
