weekend 5 nov 06

having made vague plans to go Out to celebrate my birthday earlier in the week, I didn’t feel like it on Saturday, so we stayed home (mostly) and started the site for the local LibDems (which I have finally got my hands on). We did venture down to North Street for lunch and veggie shopping. And, for once, the health food shop had four almond crossants left, so that was Sunday’s brekkie sorted.

on Sunday, I woke up with the worst arthritic/rheumatic pains I’ve felt for a long time, and could barely move, so perlmonger was a hero and went to Sainsburys. I finished the web site, and then we did something I’ve been meaning to do for *ages* – we went on the monthly Village Walk. Very enjoyable – through the woods and round the edges of the golf course for an hours and a half. I’d have enjoyed it more had I a) been hurting less, and b) worn proper boots – I assumed it was a stroll through the village, not a yomp 🙂 But we will do it again when we’re home on first Sundays (which are also Slow Food Market days in Bristol).

Harry who runs the walk was looking for a couple of volunteers to help, so we raised our hands – nice to get involved with something like that, and it will get us out into the fresh air.

came home made a batch of bee in ale, (obviously that should be “beef”, but I rather like the idea – not much eating on a bee, mind) cooked a potato and spinach gratin for our supper, and collapsed on the sofa.

nice weekend, in all.
