winterbadgerWhat a very pleasant weekend! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
soccer_fox went out for a very nice dinner on Friday and watched "Brassed Off", a movie I'm very fond of. Saturday, we hung about the house in the morning, relaxing and watching most of the movie again (she'd fallen asleep partway through) and talking about the evils of Margaret Thatcher. In the afternoon we did a fair bit of cleaning, and then went out to explore Sligo Creek Trail. She took her rollerblades, and I brought Rupert, and we had a lovely time. We went about six miles or so (round trip), but that's only a small portion of it's (12 mile) length. It's a bit cut up by cross streets and so on, but it's a very pleasant place to exercise, shady and windy and (mostly) well paved. We came home and made a very eccentric but highly tasty dinner--pancakes, fried eggs, sauteed squash, with leftover cheesecake we had brought back from john_arundel's Fourth of July party.
Sunday we messed about in the morning, doing dishes and talking, then went to a party hosted by some of the people from one of N's soccer teams, then off to Virginia to dinner and games withshy_kat and redactrice. M made an absolutely delicious meal of lamb patties with herbs and spices, a wonderful rattatouille (sp?), and baked chopped potatoes. We contributed some drinks and a yummy dessert, and the four of us played Samurai twice and Marklin Ticket to Ride once. It was a lovely evening to cap off a very nice day.
*sigh* Back to work life. We still need to get one of the cars inspected and both of them titled & tagged. All sorts of other things lined up, too--it will be a busy week!

Date: 2007-07-09 12:41 pm (UTC)I need to start saving up to get a new bike. I'd like to start riding around a bit, but my bike is really in need of retirement - I've had it since I was 14, and it was a cheap bike to begin with!
