Quick trip to Mum and Dad's on Friday, with an afternoon off work thrown in, to be there for a fabulous family barbecue for Dad's birthday - I knew it was his 60th really. Just a flying visit, but still really good, nice to see so many people in one go. Trained back to Folkestone (via London) and we were home again in time for tea on Saturday, and another night out. Shame it was at my least favourite pub in Hythe but it was good anyway to just hang out with people. I even drank lager.
I always complain about the taxis back from Hythe, it's always a nightmare trying to get one at peak times. I must always be complaining so loudly about this that I never get around to paying, because this week I did, and it was SEVENTEEN QUID! Just to get back from Hythe to Folkestone! Lordy.
Today, a day of grocery shopping, cooking for the week (Clare's making jerk chicken and salsa and I'm doing a bean stew and sweet potatoes), preparing a couple of disks of music for someone's wedding next weekend (still not decided whether to drop a few tracks of my own choosing into the playlist), and trying to get my external hard drive working. I've given up, it is faulty, I'm getting a refund. I've found lots of other people who've had problems with this drive, so I'm not bothering with a replacement.
Has felt like a nice long weekend really, coming back from Fareham but still having a whole day to ourselves here. Chilli for tea tonight, and Midsomer Murders...

Had a long weekend in Folkestone, but I have returned to chaos... www.popex.com, www.record-producers.com, www.channelfly.com and other work sites all down... not big issues to fix, but annoying... one of them the power lead had fallen out the back. www.barflyclub.com came back with the clock set wrong, which triggered a big email job on the wrong day, which is not so good.
Getting lots of comment spam and referer spam on here now, not a big problem either but a bit annoying. Blocking people from posting left right and center. So look out! There's something called sna-0.0.1 mikeelliott@hotmail.com crawling and apparently farming email addresses, so look out for it.
Right so the weekend, a very tasty luxury to have that extra day off. Started off with a fairly quiet Friday night, just one drink in Wards so as to show someone it was as quiet as we'd said, then back for a great takeaway from the Cheriton Balti. We need a microwave soon really, or to bring my platewarmer down from London (good idea for xmas) our huge platters got a bit cold before we could finish things.
Saturday was Clare's Dad's birthday, we saw him, then went around Folkestone town centre, then headed off to the fairly average Watersedge in Hythe for a night of beer and pool. Had problems with taxis too, funny sort of a night, I think we ended up back in Cheriton. Plenty of booze was had by all...
Sunday was the night of the Chambers Quiz so we thought, but no, it's been put on hold until Christmas night, so it's fairly unlikely we'll be along there to defend our title, fun though it might be... in the end we made our own quiz, and took it along to The Clifton, and Clare scooped the prize. Seems now Chambers *will* be open New Years Eve, some sort of indie-disco affair, we'll have to see. Don't think any of the rest of our party would be keen to go there.
Monday we went to Canterbury, did a lot of shopping, best thing we bought was a HUGE wine glass, it's real glass and about a metre tall... we've filled it up with baubles and fairy lights, and we're going to put our presents under that instead of a tree.
