Its early saturday morning, and in a couple of hours we'll be setting off for Oxford. Its been a great week at home with my family, just chilling. Erika and I had a quiet day for our anniversary, we took a 3 mile walk through the local countryside to this li'l village and had dinner at the pub there, we didn't take the camera so no pics.

Wednesday we went to meet Ady for lunch in London, we grabbed some sandwiches and sat on the bank of the Thames with a great view of the tower of london and the tower bridge, the weather was and still is amazing.

We watched a one-off detective program about a man who was pushed to his death over a balcony, two of the suspects were deaf and the main character was the interpreter who got a bit too involved. It was cool not just because of the extensive use of sign language but because at times the sound itself was engineered to reflect what a deaf person might hear.

This is a picture of one of our local parks in tunbridge wells, I'd forgotten how beautiful the place can be, its a former victorian estate with its own man-made lake:



Thursday we all went to the seaside, Camber Sands, and enjoyed the sun, sand and sea though the sea was freezing, even the indomitable Erika wouldn't go under the water. We stopped on the way to get some english breakfast and stopped on the way back for a pint in an old pub.


Take note of the low sea wall that Dad built around Mum to help keep the tide away :-)

Yesterday, Mum and Erika went shopping, I had the chance to get away and go looking for a present for Erika's birthday but I'm still short on good ideas though I have a couple, its a nightmare shopping for this woman, she never knows what she'd like for her birthday! Judging by her previous post, I imagine she'd like me to get myself an anti-snoring kit and make it a gift to her :-)

Dad made some indian last night, but did he make some! Then Erika and I went out with Dave and some of his friends for some drinks in a couple of pubs. Nice to relive the pub life here in England, never find it anywhere else.
