Date night

 I bought some tickets to see Richard Herring record his podcast for a friend's birthday.  It was on Friday.  We popped out early for a drink and a quick bite of tapas then went to the show.  It was good fun but was a shame that he didn't manage to sell many tickets.  Of the 1,000 ish ticket venue i'd be surprised if 100 were sold.  What's wrong with Tunbridge Wells?






Main present

 Florence's main present was a new big bike.  She loved it.  She spent the first hour going up and down our small courtyard.





Fire!

We had friends over on Saturday night so I made some fish tacos.  The fish didn't do what I wanted but it tasted fine.  We wanted to make the most of the garden before the 'summer' finally ends so we went up to the top and lit the fire pit.  I was there till 12:30.  I love burning stuff! 





It's Flo's birthday today

She's 6!  Because she's at school all day she's had the whole weekend to open her presents.  Here's her with her mermaid blanket.


 

Summer's pretty much still here!

 It's been a lovely start to Autumn.  Long may it last.






Tonbridge Swans

 Some of the local swans have had some more babies.  Here they are opposite the castle.




Annual waste of money

Every year Metallica bring out a new Christmas bauble.  Every year I get ripped off on postage from the states,

Excitement yesterday

 There were 5 ambulances outside the new flats near our place yesterday morning.  Two police cars too.  There were there before 7:15 and still there gone 10.  The police were still there till the afternoon.  I wonder what happened.  Nothing in the local news.

Dinner party

We had one of Flo's friends and parents over in Saturday. We cooked amongst other things a rack of lamb and some fondant potatoes.

Breakfast this morning

Flo liked the black pudding, we didn't say what was in it.
