In Hoose Entertainment

Lots of birthdays, Alsion, Rosy & Sarah.

on the latter, I organised a great friday night for the lass, including dinner cooked by me.

I made piri piri tiger prawns for starter, and cod with a chorizo crust for the main. Dessert was obviously birthday cake.

Saturday saw me pop across to st. Helens for a birthday meal with Sarah’s folks, and sunday saw me go to Stafford to see my parents (who arrived on Friday) and my grandma.

Been working so far this week - hockey last night (and I’m boycotting Hardy’s Well currently). there’s been lots of rain and flooding around the country including in market weighton. Apparently when my parents were on their way to Hull and stuck in traffic, the water was deep enough that when a lorry went past, all 4 wheels were lifted off the ground! blimey.

Anyway. Bye!

I’ve considered stopping my blog as my heart’s not in it any more, but then I discovered a very good reason to keep it going, which I’m not going to tell you.

Anyway, as Led Zeppelin might have said

“It’s been a long time, been a long time, etc… ” and it has, over a week this time since my last entry, and if you expect me to remember what I’ve done since then, then you’re sadly mistaken.

Things I do remember :

Hockey (twice, once wet), Curry (twice, once for Rosy’s birthday)
24, 24, 24, pizza, pizza, pizza, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, beer, chicken. (This Tuesday)
Work! though I obviously only have a passing memory of this.
Cleaning, and a sunday roast (overcooked, unfortunately).

It was Alsion’s birthday yesterday, Rosy’s today and it will be Sarah’s tomorrow.

Oh, and my parents are flying in soon.

And Scarborough went bust, which is very bad news indeed. I’m joining the supporters trust.

Bye!

OK, so I’ve not updated this very often - and no-one reads long posts so I’ll briefly summarise.

After coming back from bratislava I had a fairly standard week in the office, I also played hockey.

Two weekends ago, Sarah, Rosy, Mahinda, Adrian, Emma and I went on the Saddleworth beer walk. We went dressed as the YMCA people - I was the construction worker (photo’s on facebook, video on youtube (search under mahindak)).

The day started with us performing in front of the assembled masses through a large PA system - we ended up performing around 5 or 6 times, usually for sponsor money - and once even at the end when we were all naq’d.

The beer walk was good - too many hills! Many costumes came out of the woodwork, including a herd of sheep and some ravers. Very tired afterwards, we retired to Sarah’s place for relaxation and kebab.

Sunday was our 1 year anniversary - we went for a fun photo shoot at Venture in town - free via a voucher, though if we want any photo’s they’ll be quite expensive. Afterwards we went for food and had a lazy afternoon.

The next week work happened as per the norm - I watched the England game (against Estonia - a 3-0 win on Beckham’s return) and not much else happened, at least that I can remember.

Last weekend was cricket and beer.

Saturday we played cricket on platt fields, I did pretty badly, but it was a lot of fun and we were there until 8pm before heading off to Hardy’s Well and then home to meet Mike T. who was staying over for the test match on Sunday.

… which around 31 of us went to! it was great fun (though we didn’t perform too well, only 4 wickets in the day! - still we won the match on Monday) .

Afterwards a curry at a very expensive place with big portions. My wallet hurt afterwards but I think this is the only big (big as in expensive) day out this month, so that’s ok!

Today is Tuesday. I’ve work to do, so tarra for now!
