Benn

Looking back now, it seems like something of a privilege that I was able to go and listen to Tony Benn speak when he came to visit Corpus Christi in my undergraduate days.

Fogo

One of my colleagues was telling me today that they are off to Orlando in October, and they are particularly keen on trying out Fogo de Chao, which is a Brazilian steakhouse on International Drive.

Now that we've checked out their website, we are pretty keen on giving it a go as well.

My boss is going to Orlando in a few weeks - maybe we should send him it to report back to us.

More cheating

Found two more 15 x 6 "solutions" involving one blue (i.e. upside-down) piece, but still no proper ones.

Annoying!

Famous visitor

Jake's school had a famous visitor today - Sir Steve Redgrave came to see them as part of the build up to Sport Relief. It was covered on the local news, and can be watched (no doubt for a limited time only) here - the piece to watch starts at 16:30 into the programme.

Spring

Well it seems like Spring has sprung, and so we've been out mowing the lawn, and even had some helpers too!

Rochester

(Before I get started today, re yesterday's blog, it took Dad all of a couple of seconds to work out where
i'd cheated!)

Lovely day today, and not just the weather. We decided to head down to Rochester, and had a stroll along the High Street with our visitor.

All of the right ingredients were there:
  • a meal out (Pizza Express)
  • a look around the shops
  • some sweets from the Candy Bar, and
  • Jake and I wandered off to take some photos by the castle and cathedral.
Lovely day!
