I am now employed!

 I was offered a role last week and was waiting for another off this week, I accepted the second offer on Monday.  Still waiting for contracts to come through etc. but that's a bit of a relief.  Realistically I won't start till after the Easter holidays so that will be 111 days not working!  The longest before as a contractor was 88 days.

This role is a 1 year FTC, the other role was a day rate contract but only for 4 months.

Walking back from the shops (i'm carrying all the bags)



Chicken wings

 Kids loved them!





Busy week

 I only managed 1 session at the gym last week as I had a bit of a cold and was busy in London for a couple of days.  What a view!




A full 80

 I played a full 80 mins for Leigh on Saturday.  It was a really great game but we ended up losing by a point from a penalty with 2 mins to go.  Looks like I'll be playing this weekend too!



Mussels

  We haven't cooked mussels in a while so I made  Moules Mariniere.  Flo and her friend enjoyed them. Arthur less so.  Good job I bought a tub of prawns to go with them as Arthur devoured the lot!





Breakfast of kings

 Chocolate spread on left over baguette 




On a crashed spelljammer

 The spell jammer crashed into a giant god's heart.  As you do.  We also met / killed a death slaad and met / not killed an angel (with only one wing).  Tonight i'm back to the pub for more Call of Cthulhu.

Andy Zaltzman gig

 We went to see And Zaltzman last night at the Tunbridge Wells Trinity theatre and he was once again excellent.

Cat parking

 I went to the vets yesterday to pick up some meds for Arwen and they now have a cat park where you can park your cat away from the dogs in the waiting area



Gig at the Forum

 April dragged me out to the Forum on Sunday night after a very hectic weekend.  I'm glad she did as the two bands we saw were excellent.  I didn't catch the support acts name but they were very good.  So too were Hot Wax.

40th birthday

 It was friend's birthday last Friday and she held it at the rugby club.  It was a good one! Always is with the rugby coaches!





More bbqing

 WE popped to the garden centre on Saturday and it has a butchers attached to it.  We bought some ribs!  And a whole fillet of beef.

Lunch

The weather is lovely at the moment in Tonbridge, so I thought I'd cook my lunch on the BBQ. Delicious.
