Dating Dave

Week 29: 5/11/2012 - 11/11/2012

Monday night was Bonfire Night, and Jutto provided some pre-dinner entertainment by setting off some rockets and volcanoes and other assorted things that go bang, whizz and pop in the back garden. I don't think I have ever been that close to fireworks in my life! The post dinner jaunt to the Hen and Chicken with Juts and Susie was great. A brisk walk in the crisp cold air followed by a couple pints of mulled cider. Sweet!

Tuesday was a chance to catch up with Carys in The Old Bookshop, a great venue for food, beer and music. Wednesday night I was back there again, this time catching up with Martin, who never fails to impart his invaluable pearls of wisdom.

Patience Young Grasshopper!

The remainder of the week seemed to be dedicated to Dave. Thursday night, after a trip to the pub with Goss, Lake, Sobers, Mark, RoRo and Nerea, Dave and I made our way home, taking in food and beer in 5 different establishments (6 if you include Lickin' Chicken!). Friday night Dave and I ended up in Thai Garden for a candle lit (chicken) dinner for two, followed by a quiet night in with a film..... and Saturday evening Dave cooked me (chicken) dinner before we settled down for another film. They were both really manly films though.

I had been supposed to be flying from KL to Shanghai on Saturday morning, but instead I met Chris and Gemma, freshly returned  from Honey Moon for brunch on North St.  Not quite the same, but fun none the less.

These people have got a lot to answer for! My lovely family.

On Sunday I said goodbye to mum and dad over lunch. Won't see them again until January. Time will fly! Thanks for everything folks :-)
