Mainly admin, cooking and music on Monday. Did a ride with Andy, Kelvin and Stuart on Tuesday. Got a train to Newbury and did a loop out to Wantage. Had lunch at Letcombe Regis, excellent fish and chips. Lots if snow drops at Welford Park.About 40 miles. Chain Hill out of Wantage is a bugger. Had a band practice on Wednesday. Not as planned but some promising new songs. Did a test before hand and as we're going up to Glasgow. Got the train up to Glasgow on Thursday via Euston for a change. Masks are still compulsory on public transport in Scotland. Checked into our apartment, picked up some supplies, then pizzas and headed over to J n As. Madeline has certainly changed in the 6 weeks or so since we last saw her. She holds her head up, can nearly sit up unsupported and makes lots of different noises.
We left around 8 30 and stopped off at The Coopers pub just around the corner but it was very busy with mainly young folk. On Friday picked up some breakfast and headed over about 10 30. Took Madeline out for a walk for a couple of ours and I amused for a couple more when we got back whilst M prepared tea. Eventually she fell asleep on me in the rocking chair. What could be better than that? We then witnessed a very spectacular bath time where she kicked water all over the place. On Saturday J n A went out for a long awaited birthday lunch at Eusebi's for James that had initially been booked last September but then Madeline happened. On Sunday we all went out for lunch at The Loveable Rogue. Never had mac n cheese with a roast before. Watched England beat Italy at rugby after then had a chat with T n S. Amy chats to her folks most days so at least they get to see Madeline that way. Had a pint in The Doublet on the way back as recommended by Roy. Had to register on track n trace which is unusual these days. Unfortunately the NHS app doesn't seem to recognise places in Scotland. It's happened before a couple of times. On Monday we amused Madeline for most of the day. Had fine fish n chips for tea from Catch in the evening then watched M on UC. This time they lost to Imperial so need to win their next match. She did really well though. Got 3 starters and a lot of bonuses. Got the train back on Tuesday. Masks no longer seem to be compulsory but don't recall any announcement. In the evening we went to do the Brewdog quiz with the UC team to spend some vouchers from previous victories. Not only did we win again but won the jackpot which was £97 each. There were 3 questions. The first was a given from a Twitter clue, the other 2 were both got by M. How many sheep on the ark, 7, in what periodical did On Her Majesty's Secret Service first appear, Playboy. How does she know thus stuff?
It's M's birthday today (Monday). She got a fine array of presents, cocktail shaker and accessories from Tom and Sally, picture from...
Spent most of Monday learning songs for this weeks session at Ian's. Same on Tuesday. Did an LFT in the afternoon and OK. Heard that Pen....JPG)
