Spent the weekend in Haarlem and Amsterdam visiting Geraint. Enjoyed sampling the local beverages and snack food (Broodje Haring - basically a raw herring in a bread roll). We even managed some culture.
Xmas presents included a cool Roberts DAB Radio from Mum.
Had an eventful weekend. Friday night Geraint was kind enough to drive me to Galashiels for the Borders vs Ospreys match. It wasn’t the most exciting match you’re ever likely to watch but it was good to come away with a win after last years debacle. Was disappointed to find out that the Borders [...]
Visited Blanchland on the weekend. Rhian found directions on the web. Unfortunately the directions were to Blanchland Road in Washington. We got there in the end.Khan’s has always been my favourite Indian restaurant in Newcastle. It’s even better now they have new chairs and have expanded to upstairs.
Spent the elongated weekend in Oslo. The highlight was The Vigeland Park, though the Gravad Lax was also excellent. The National Gallery and Maritime Museum were also worth visiting.

Need to find somewhere to watch the Ospreys vs Blues match on March 28th.
Visiting Geraint in Oslo on April 9th. Rhian’s trying to work out how much smoked salmon she’ll be able to eat in a weekend.
Martin has informed me that David Dickinson still presents the prime time version of Bargain Hunt.
I was lucky enough to to be the recipient of my Uncle’s spare ticket for last nights football. It wasn’t the greatest game I’ve ever seen and the Referee was bloody awful. However, we did manage to secure a play-off place. The atmosphere in the stadium was fantastic.
I spent Saturday at the wedding of Rhian’s cousin. Had a great time though I managed to strain a calf muscle dancing!
Great new album from the Super Furry Animals.
