Friday: collecting Jayne from school then off to Hooton on the Wirral, where we'll leave the car and catch the train to Liverpool. Check in at the hotel then quaff prosecco and eat snacks until it's time to go out. We've got tickets to see Belle and Sebastian (the group, not the kids TV show from the 60s/70s) but that's been cancelled due to ill health, so we'll be popping across the road to El Gato Negro for tapas and cocktails. Last time we were in there we spent £12.50 on tapas and £50 on cocktails. Proportions seem about right to me. 😁
Saturday: breakfast at Bill's cafe, a bit of light shopping and a visit to the Walker Gallery, where there's an exhibition on about how football influenced fashion and design in the seventies and eighties. Shellsuit-tastic! Lunch with Jac at Mowgli. We've booked at the "mothership" - the first restaurant Nisha Katona set up in Bold Street. Home to get changed then off to Oswestry to see an author - Nisha Katona! She's one of Jayne's heroes, as she really treats her workers well and insists everything is done authentically, even going as far as sending her chefs to India to study street food there.
Sunday: quieter, thankfully. I know Jayne has a leg of lamb in the freezer so I reckon house lamb curry is on the cards. Guess whose book that's from? 😆
Have a good 'un, and mind the trams.

I do wish I had more control of my weekend, I just take my instructions from a higher source and get on with it.
But I'm an easy going type of bloke and after all Saturday is just another day in the week and Sunday is not a day of rest.
Food, not an issue, I may make a curry on Saturday, but then again we may go out or have a takeaway, whatever.
Sunday...I bought some duck breasts, so I see a roast type of dinner or maybe salad and rice or cous cous

Today: Blood tests, then beer. Wiener schnitzel with mushroom sauce and chips.
Tomorrow: The Teigns have got a week off, so Sarah and I will have time to wander around the annual Teignmouth Food Fayre down town. Sarah is still wary of spicy food and I want a curry, so I'm doing a chicken korma.
Sunday: No reports to write, so a day trying to keep warm at home. The duck cassoulet I'm doing for lunch should help with that.

Friday...
Doing nothing. We are still a bit lethrgic after our flu jabs.
Home made soup, then Bacon and Egg baps, perhaps a few chips, perhaps not.
Saturday...
Doing nothing.
In the evening we are going to the Gratounade at the village hall. Its to celebrate the arrival of the Beaujolais Nouveau. Eat and drink as much drain cleaner out of jugs as you like at trestle tables. You have to pay for the Beaujolais at 12 euro's a bottle. I'll stick to drain cleaner. I am immune to it. Chrissie will probably have a bottle
Then its a disco. We will have a bit of a wobble. I am still being ribbed for YMCA-ing last year, but no chicken dancing.
Sunday...
Lie in to get over the Pastis and drain cleaner.
Chilli and Rice for tea.
Have a good one everybody
