Rigatoni (penne) Gorgonzola speck

 We used to go to Strada fairly often when the chain was still open and this is what we usually ate.  I've attempted to recreate it and I think it turned out well.  Garlic bread may have stayed under the grill for a touch too long...




Swimming lessons

 I had a 9am meeting with a recruiter in Tonbridge so couldn't do my normal routine in the gym this morning.  Instead I decided to just go for a swim.  40 lengths or 1km.  Half way through a South African ex swim instructor spoke to me when I was having a breather and gave me some tips.  Maybe she saw how much potential I had...

Karaoke night at the Chequers

 Ruined by 9 drunk rugby coaches!


We had a curry night with some of the minis rugby coaches on Friday.  We kicked off at 5, followed by a curry at 8, before descending on my local till last orders.  We easily drowned out the the sound of the microphone.  He, he!

Present for me

 When I take Arthur to do the shopping I usually let him choose a hot wheels car as a thank you for helping me.  This time I spotted these!  I deserve a present too!




Tonbridge Juddians Beer Festival and England match

 It wasn't too busy to begin with then everyone descended on the club for the rugby match.  Shit game and result, but good fun.





Progress

 Flo's 1,000 piece disney jigsaw finished on Saturday.  The edges were done last weekend and then annoyingly took up far too much space on the dining table all week till we eventually picked it up again on Saturday.  1 piece missing!
