Jen and I had a great bank holiday weekend. The highlight being a trip to Sutton Park with Danielle and Russell to pick some mushrooms. We found mostly Bay Boletus with a couple of lucky Ceps along the way. It was hard work as each find was only increased our yield singularly.
After a well deserved pint we went back to Dan and Russell's and cooked up the shrooms, with a bit of garlic, butter, parsley and plenty of seasoning. Beautiful

I had a great weekend. Jen and I popped out for a pint and a curry after work Friday.
On Saturday Danielle and Russel came round. we ate flat-bread, a fantastic rice salad that Jen makes (made with wild rice, basmati rice, quinone, roasted sweet potato, feta cheese, garlic, fresh mint, fresh sage, fresh oregano.), Lamb fillet marinated in crushed cumin, coriander seeds and garlic. Danielle made baklava which was fantastic. It was all lush.
On Sunday Jen and I went for a walk up the Lickeys and then chilled out.

We had a great day at the cricket on Friday, plenty of wickets, plenty of cobs, plenty of laughs.
I was fine the next day for Kat & Mark's wedding, which was a beautiful affair that started at St Peters in Harborne and finished at Marks parents house down the road. The ham was amazing.

After Ian treated us to a fantastic curry on Friday, I'm now craving curry all of the time. I wake in the morning and could eat it for breakfast. So when my Mom and Dad came round on Saturday evening we ordered a takeaway.
Didn't manage to cut the hedges, instead we tidied up the veg patch and watched the Open.
I managed to beat Jen at badminton on Sunday. It's now level at 1 match each.

Saturday we played badminton. I under estimated Jens ability and she thrashed me, even with her slippy shoes. As we were leaving we noticed a table tennis table so we booked a session for Thursday.
Cut the grass at the bottom of the garden and disturbed a bees nest, so we won't be going down there for a while.
Well done to Spain!

If you haven't been to the Plough in Harborne since it's refurb, then I recommend it. Great vibe great beer. Jen and I went last night to see Vicki's fella play some classics in an acoustic style. It was brilliant.
This weekend I will be cutting the grass and maybe trimming the hedges.

That was the order of my evening.
Al has kindly offered to teach me the basics of php. After an hour of intense php training my brain was frazzled , the only cure was a trip down the pub. Gavin came with us to the pub. With two pints in our belly we consulted the magic eight ball iPhone application, which told us we must go for a curry. So we did.

After a heavy night Friday I managed to be up and about at 7am to help finalise the exhibition Jen had organised at Wolverhampton Art Gallery along with a local community panel. Jen and the panel put together an exhibition exploring local history, in particular the history of the Sunbeam.
Members of the public, gallery staff, me, everyone thought the exhibition was a success. Well done Jen I'm proud of you. xx

Poker tonight at Lee's with Al and Ian. Then tomorrow It's the opening of an Exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery that Jen has organised. I said I would be around to help her as it's a big event.

On my way to work in the rain yesterday, an inconsiderate driver went out of his way to drive through a seriously large puddle drenching me with water. I didn't turn around and acknowledge him, I didn't want to give the satisfaction I just squelched on to the bus stop. It made me so angry, I would never do that to anyone.
It wasn't until the afternoon that I went to use my ipod touch and realised water had got into my coat pocket causing the ipod to break - I was angry all over again.
I hope the idiot in the white car flooded his engine, then at least there would be some justice in the world.

Saturday was also excellent. To celebrate Jen's moms birthday we visited Packwood House to see an outdoor performance of "The Tempest". The picnic and weather were perfect.

Went to see "Noises Off" at the Rep on Wednesday - it's probably the best comedy I’ve seen at the theatre, highly recommended.

Jen was away this weekend so I entertained myself most of the bank holiday weekend.
Friday night I had a couple of pints and a gourmet burger with my old mate Mark.
Saturday I did some house work then picked up some bacon, sausages and a pork chop from my favourite butchers in Harborne. In the afternoon I met Al for a bit of php tuition. After we went for a curry and then went on to The Anchor for their May Beer Festival (Highlight Ale was Beowulf - Rave'n)
Sunday I mowed the lawn went food shopping. In the afternoon I cooked myself a bacon sarnie and watched the England game. Jen arrived home, we chilled watching the TV the rest of the evening - Oh yeah and I cooked my chop and had it with gravy and mashed potatoes.
Monday evening Jen I popped back to the Anchor for some more festival action and finished the evening with a balti from the Ladypool road.
Checked my Friday lottery ticket this morning and to my amazement got four matching numbers which bagged me £72!

Jen and I were passing through Dudley on Saturday and out of the blue decided to visit Dudley Zoo. It was a new experience for Jen and I hadn't been since I was in Infant school.
I felt sorry for some of the bigger animals in cages but all in all it was a lovely day (the weather helped)
In the evening we cooked Sea Bass on the BBQ and sat in the garden - beautiful.

We've had virgin HD installed today, ready for the World Cup. We haven't had the facilities to record TV for ages not even a VHS machine. I'll now be able to record obscure films that are on at 1 o'clock in the morning which is usually past my bedtime.
My weekend will be spent in the Sunshine.

Our house is permanently warm at the moment. For some reason we can't seem to turn the radiators off completely. The heating is switched off yet the radiators still seem to be giving off heat. It's not a lot of heat but enough to make it uncomfortable, especially as it was quite warm last night anyway.
Date: 17th May 2010
So, Friday night after a couple of pints in the Welly Jen and I decided to go to the Maharaja for a curry which was fantastic. We then popped to The Old Fox for one more pint before going home.
On Saturday fiends of ours, who were visiting from London took us out for a meal to celebrate our engagement. We went to Clent - had a walk and then went to The Fountain for some wonderful food, It was truly a beautiful afternoon. A big thank you to Ben & Lottie
In the evening our friends Jo & Chris provided some great food and entertainment. Chris prepared some amazing tapas whilst Jo kept everyone's glasses topped up. We finished off the evening with a game of Rapidough. A fantastic evening - a big thank you to Jo & Chris.
Our Sunday was just a day of relaxing

On Sunday we did a bit of gardening and in the afternoon went for a pint of mild at the Welly. The evening consisted of bangers and mash, and then a veg out in front of the telly.

We had a beautiful day out to celebrate Jen's birthday. The weather was perfect so we packed a picnic and road into the countryside.
I'd planned this day for quite a while - in my pocket was the ring - I had permission from her folks, all that was left was for me to ask the question.
She said yes!

As usual the weather forecast for this bank holiday weekend looks a bit drab. I was planning to spend a little time in the garden but maybe that won't happen now. I could spend the time doing a bit of cooking - starting to feel inspired to cook again.

Hello everyone. It's my first day back after a fairly long period of time at home recovering from a major operation. It's so good to be back, I'd gone as far as I could at home - the boredom was getting me down. I think being at work will complete the recovery process.
Thanks to all the guys and girls at clevercherry for covering for me whilst I was away and for for their support. Much love x

I will be away for a little while (the doctors are going to fix me up), so this will be my last blog for a couple of weeks. Don't worry I'll be back soon, hopefully you won't miss me that much.
Thanks to the clevercherry.com team for their support over the last month and for their continued support whilst I'm away. We're busy enough as it is so I don't know how they'll cope without their best designer (only joking Mark!, and you're pretty good too Gavin!).

I had one of those amazing weekends that come round once in a while; purely divine.
On Friday night we had a lovely evening with Jen's folks, eating fish & chips and playing cards. The boys managed to win the game in 4 hands - ( I must admit we did get a few lucky hand dealt to us)
On the Saturday, whilst Jen was at work I popped into the city to do a bit of shopping ( I was early enough to find the city centre not that busy) and had a pint in my favourite pub. On the evening Jen and I had a fabulous evening with Ian and Sarah, beautiful food and wine was tasted. At the end I was having to "table clench" - No more food would fit into my belly.
Yesterday we spent the afternoon at my parents. First off, we all went for a refreshing walk around the Arboretum. Mom cooked a fantastic Sunday roast beef dinner with all the trimmings, best I'd had in ages. We then played cards until I couldn't keep my eyes open and we drove home. I was in bed a sleep by 21:30 and woke this morning fresh as a daisy.

This mornings shower was very pleasant. I used some of that posh shower gel that I picked up from The Yorke Arms. After the shower I commented to Jen "That Melton Mowbray shower stuff, is lovely" She looked at me funny and replied "I think you mean Molton Brown". I can just imagine what Jen must have been thinking... not a pleasant thought first thing in the morning.
Date: 22nd February 2010
Instead we tidied the house. Saturday evening we went to see the film "A Single Man", which we both enjoyed, although I think Jen was more fascinated with the tuck trolley, though she denies it.
Sunday we had dinner at Jen's folks. On the menu was Chicken Basque which was a taste sensation. Thanks Myra.

Listening to the Chris Evens show this morning on my way to work I heard the sad news that The lead singer of The Knack, Doug Fieger, had died aged 57. He co-wrote the bands hit My Sharona. Chris went on to play the track which I love, especially the guitar solo.
I was setting myself up for a bit of one handed air guitar, when to my disappointment the solo vanished. All I was getting was the rhythm guitar. I then realised that my right speaker was "Knackered" and I was only getting the left channel.
Thanks to Kevin for a great pie and chips yesterday.

Jen and I went to the opening of the new exhibition at the Ikon gallery. I was impressed with Clare Rojas work, every picture told a different story, in a simplistic but effective way.
After we ate at the newly refurbished restaurant. We've always been impressed with the tapas served at the Ikon and last night was no exception. Some new dishes and old ones re-vamped where enjoyed.

On Wednesday this week a complete stranger walked up to me with his hand out ready for a hand shake. I wasn't prepared to offer my hand and looked at him funny and said "no thanks". Still with a smile on his face and in a foreign accent he then asked me for directions to Victoria Square. At this point I was already walking away, and then it occurred to me, this gentleman was a visitor from another county and was politely asking for directions. After my rudeness what must he think of us British.

I wasn't sure about Downey Jr playing our Sherlock. From the trailers he looks like a tramp with an American accent, not your gentrified, swarve and sophisticated character we have grown to love in previous screen incarnations. After watching the new film, Downey's Sherlock is tramp and his accent isn't that convincing but despite this he does bring something new to the character which was not unwelcome. As a result I did very much enjoy the film.

I haven't been able to see clearly since the beginning of December, since loosing my glasses the world has been viewed with blurred edges. On Saturday during my eye examination I was able to read letters the size of peas at 10 yards, it was amazing. I'm so looking forward to collecting my glasses this weekend.
Yesterday Lee, Al and myself attended Cow Club at The Red Lion, It was unusually disappointing. My t-bone steak was poor quality as was Lee's rib eye. Alex was pleased with his Sirloin although he did originally want a rib-eye but they had run out. In the past the steaks and other food at the Red Lion has been fantastic, so It hasn't but me off eating there again. I probably won't have a t-bone again.

Our home is back to normal now that the Christmas decorations have been taken down. It does look a slightly minimal affair, having been use to the colourful delights of the decorations and cards.

When we returned home we decorated the tree and listened to Christmas carols, twas nice.

So I've lost my glasses, which is a pain as I can't see friends across the street who might my wanting my attention.
So I figured I would bight the bullet and just go to my opticians and ask for a repeat of my last order. "No, sorry sir we can't do that, you will have to have another eye test which will cost you £30.
The glasses I lost were perfect. I don't need another prescription.

I snuck a Chicken Fillet Burger on my way home from work last night. I was ravenous and couldn't hemp myself. I was adamant it wouldn't spoil my appetite but it did, poor Jen had to eat on her own.

Our trip to Ludlow was fantastic. The medieval Christmas fayre was really good, lots of ye' old Christmas carols and merriment. I missed the sword fighting this time round but did manage to get a Deerstalker Pie (Venison, cottechino, sausage, dry cured bacon, puy lentils, juniper berries and thyme) at the Church Inn. It was jolly good.

Let me tell you of my weekend of last. A trip to the German market was made short by the terrible weather, we ended up at Cafe Soya for some lovely nosh.
On Sunday for my sisters 29th we had a lovely meal at Mad O' Rourke's Cow Pie Factory. I had Faggot pie, Jen had the Allotment pie. We ate well

My car has been wonderful. It's done 72,000 miles and until Tuesday I have had no trouble with it. So Tuesday on my way to a doctors appointment I have over heating troubles. It's all fine now after a trip to the garage, just hope it's not the start of more trips to the garage. Touch wood it isn't
Tonight - Fish & Chips.
Tomorrow - a trip to Second to None to find a evening dress for Jen
Sunday - Mad O' Rourkes for my sisters 29th Birthday.

We had a great time staying with Jac and Adam despite the weather being rubbish on Saturday. We woke Saturday morning to thunder and lightning followed by gale winds that made it feel like armageddon. We kept to an indoor activities programme which included a trip to the new Sophie Cal exhibition at Whitechapel Art Gallery and a visit to the British Museum.
Sunday included Sunday Lunch, ale and bar billiards at the Dog and Bell a great pub in Deptford that I highly recommend.

We had a few fireworks in the garden on Saturday. Jen cooked a customised version of caravan pie, a childhood favourite of hers. Mash potato, baked beans and sausages all fried together. It's my new favourite.

Well the weather has finally changed. The heating is back on at our house and I'm having to make jumper dissions in the morning. To add to complications I've decided to go beardless.

The Halloween/bonfire night was very enjoyable. The fire brigade paid a visit, apparently the fire could be seen from a fire they were putting out in another road. They were impressed with Ben's safety precautions and left us to it.
Sunday was great. Al, Amanda, Jen and myself visited The Anchor for a pint before The Bad Shepherds gig at the Glee Club which was fantastic.
I'd just like like to thank Ian and Sarah for the bed they kindly donated us. It absolutely wonderful to sleep in a bed again.
