Job update

 More job news...

My current company have verbally offered me a 6 month extension, a nice pay rise and a guaranteed 10/12ths bonus at the end of the contract.  Problem is that it needs to go up the chain to our new American bosses.  It's all signed off in London though.

The new company wants me to get back to them by Wednesday.  Hurry up America!

Easter Egg hunt

 The kids had fun looking for their eggs this morning





15 hour potatoes

 We started cooking the potatoes yesterday afternoon.  We missed a step by not putting parchment paper in the baking tin so they were a bit tricky to get out, but one portion turned out well.






Chicken Soup

 I made a very good chicken soup on Saturday





Trip to Hastings

 We popped down to Hastings on Friday to see some friends.  We had a go on the 2 penny pushers, a very wet round of crazy golf and a wet wind swept walk along the coast to the restaurant.







11km walk to the Greyhound

 And we got the train back from Penshurt station






Back to d&d

 




Trip to London for a spot of culture

 We went to the unicorn theatre near Tower Bridge to see a Midsummer Night's Dream.  It was good but bloody long.  Afterwards we had a little walk around the city and lunch at Bodeans.  Ribs and chicken wings!  Yum,




Start of the holidays

We didn't do much on Monday, although we did pop into the Chequers for a couple of pints with the kids.  The kids learnt how to stack beer mats.
