What we got up to

On Thursday, we went to Bath. Along the way we saw things that would not be out of place in a Chevy Chase movie. Like the plastic polar bear that had been pointed out to us on a previous occasion, that sits on top of a small building. Apparently its awsomness was too much for a pickup truck that forgot that which side of the road it was supposed to be on and had a meeting of minds with a lamppost.

Or perhaps the street that is, in fact, Tucking Mill Lane, but the signage has all been very well amended to replace the T with an F.

Or the car in front which decided to drive on the wrong side of the road for a while, for no particular reason - he didn't even seem to be drunk.

Bath itself was very civilised, and I traded in the gift voucher my boss had given me for my birthday and got the Zelda, Twilight Princess game.

In the evening we went to a pub that was under new management in a very well to do village. The car park was full of range rovers and jags, while the customers were stereotypical horsey brigade types. The food was good, and the atmosphere great.

Friday was spent in Glastonbury. We were hoping to see some druid types, but didn't, although there were definitely some witchy types. Went shopping at the Clark's outlet center in nearby Street, which is really very cute for an outlet centre. Oh, and we saw the very muddy field that Glastonbury Festival was going to be held in.

Saturday the weather, which had been good to us, turned. Nasty, horrid rain escorted us on the drive back from Wiltshire to Kent, and it took us twice as long to get back.

But it was a very lovely week and we did loads.

Sunday was all about washing, cleaning and ironing, while Monday, although technically holiday, was about cleaning out work email, and preparing for return to work. Because boss is on hols for a couple of weeks, so I wanted to hit the ground running on Tuesday. 

In between all that, made a start on Zelda. It took all weekend to get through the Prologue, so slightly could be a long, long game. Gave up when I found that catching warthogs on the Wii is more difficult than it looks. Had tea with friends Monday evening.
