Cricket, Walking and Beer
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!
