In Hoose Entertainment

the date on friday turned out to be a meal in a nice resturant near Deansgate.

After some shenanigans getting there (initially heading off towards the northern quarter) we found it with time to spare and it was really very nice indeed!

I had King Prawns followed by a loveley (and large!) piece of sea bass and cheesecake for dessert. Sarah’s meal was less impressive but still nice and we both had a great time.

Afterwards we went to Sarah’s local pub for the first time since she moved there, for a quick pint before closing.

All in all, a really good night out.

Saturday Was dull by comparison, I had a headache pretty much all day and got some stuff sorted around the house.

I played some poker in the evening - generally playing well but making the occasional stupid mistake that cost me overall.

Watched some of match of the day but was feeling pretty run down, so went to bed early.

Sunday involved going to the trafford centre with sarah. We had a lovely lunch at a noodle bar and I got a CD and a couple of books.

After a wonderful lasagne for dinner (with coconut biscuits for dessert) we headed off to the Four in Hand for their sunday quiz. Also present were Leoni, Erica, Martin & Adrian.

we won.

There were only four teams and we only scored 38/60, so it wasn’t a very impressive win, but a win none the less - and it comes with free pintage that might mean we return the week after.

after sunday came the laborious onset on Monday and a real early start to get to my meeting with Jeff.

That done, I coasted through the rest of the day and then went dancing with Sarah. Really enjoyed the cha-cha-cha but didn’t like the Waltz so much.

Back fairly early and an episode of the west wing later and I’m asleep.

Tuesday is today and contains the small matter of the Liverpool v Barcelona second leg. Can’t wait.

IF anyone is reading this and fancies watching it round my place, bring a beer and make yourself at home.
