The good and the not-so-good

A very good weekend

My father came down on Friday evening. On Saturday, we went to Slimbridge, where we saw a peregrine chasing a few hundred lapwings and dunlin (although it didn't get any, as far as we could see). It was a truly magnificent spectacle.

This was followed by lunch at the Old Spot Inn in Dursley, which I've been to twice before - great welcome, great food, great beer.

On Saturday afternoon, my sister and her family also came down, and we went to the nearby playground.

On Sunday morning, my father left us to go back home. We had a very quiet day after that, with just a bit of gentle pottering around, and a walk up to see the local moorhens.

And that evening, we had the first game of the season, in the form of grey partridge. Delicious! :-)

But not quite such a good Monday

I woke up this morning with a sore throat, to add to the sniffle I've had for the last few days :-(

(On the other hand, I do now have my own desk at work!)

Glad you had a nice weekend.

Sorry about the sore throat and sniffle. Hope you're back in tip-top shape in no time.

'Tis the season for the respiratory bug. Hope it is over swiftly.

The hunting peregrine sounds an extraordinary sight!

Thank you :-)

And yes, it was extraordinary. Like something off a nature programme.

Sorry to hear you're poorly, but well done for the good weekend - the peregrine sounds fantastic.

It was! :-)

Sniffles seem to be doing the rounds!

Sounds like we'll have to check out that pub. We went to Chris's sisters in Oxford for a nice birthday party. Fun, but tiring - I could use another weekend now!!

I'm glad you had a good weekend. The pub is well worth checking out - it's CAMRA's South West pub of the year. Two house beers and four ever-changing guest ales.
