First day back at work after the Easter hols, and it's cold, grey, damp and gen'rally a bit miserable. Ho hum. The Easter holidays themselves were great; I saw lots of friends and family type people, which is always happymaking. It was actually sunny on Saturday so I went to the park with some school friends for a few hours, then we went back to Jess's to play games and eat homemade chocolate and cherry hot cross buns, om nom nom.
On Sunday Rach and Mark came down from Newcastle to visit, and by an astonishing feat of coordination I managed to meet them on the train at Cheltenham. Monday was a lovely sunny day so we went to Bath and ate our sandwiches in Royal Victoria Park, then wandered round Royal Crescent and down into the centre of Bath, poking our noses into the Assembly Rooms on the way. We bought ice creams and ate them on Pulteney Bridge, then meandered back along the river to the train station. Tuesday was not such a nice day, but nevertheless we had a picnic on Brandon Hill and then went to the Museum. We saw natural history, Egyptians and dinosaurs, all you really need in a museum, y/n?
On the telly front we watched the first two of the three Red Dwarf specials; I enjoyed them both but thought that the first was funnier than the second and that the presence of Actual CGI was unsettling. Then we watched nine episodes of The Middleman - I love watching programmes I love with people who haven't seen them before :D
All in all, a most satisfactory weekend, and now I am off to catch up on the internets and investigate this Dreamwidth thing wot everyone is talking about.
