Where was I? Oh yes. At mother's, about to go for a curry.

(Lunch was adequate, thank you for asking - leek and potato pie.)

We went to mom's favourite Indian restaurant - Khan's on Heaton Road. It's rather lucky that it's her favourite, because it's only five minutes walk away. It is very, very nice. Big portions of very well made food. I had Chicken something or other. And enjoyed it very much. Then it was back home again for birthday cake. Sean had made an amazing cake, which had something like 4 bars of Lindt 85% chocolate in it. I'm going to have to get the recipe from him. And then get Candy to make it...

On Saturday, we went to Whitley Bay. There was a French Market there. We went expecting it be a bit crappy with Geordie folk pretending to be French - "Bonjour, like, y'knaa" - but it wasn't. They were genuine French-types. I even got to speak French to them, asking for cheese and wine and stuff like that. So that was fun. If very cold and damp... But that's what you expect from Newcastle.

On Saturday evening, dad came and collected me in his very posh new car. He got this from the money he got in a settlement over an injury he received whilst working. Which isn't bad at all. He drove me up to Wooler. Once there, I got fed. Basically. Lots and lots of lovely food - roast lamb, sticky toffee pudding, sponge cake, meringues and ooohhh... loads of stuff. That screwed up the whole 'cutting down on food' thing which I was sort of doing.

Sunday was a very lazy day. I basically read my book. It would have been nice to go for a walk, but the weather was far too crappy. So I didn't.

Sunday evening, caught the train back home, finished my book (Carter Beats the Devil) and started another one (The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents) and then came home, snogged Candy and went to bed.
Then got up the next morning and went to work. Exciting, eh?
