frostfoxDrove down Friday, when I stopped for lunch it was gently snowing, only a few flakes and only for a few minutes, but, none the less, snow.
Went for a good Mexican meal on Friday night, and an utterly stunning India at The Memsaab on Saturday (7 course Diwali banquet for £25), but distressingly little boozing, Saturday I only had two pints, one at the restaurant, one at the hotel.
Walked into Nottingham twice to indulge in retail therapy, found a new-to-me shop called Tiger and came away with several presents. Visited the gym/pool once in the hotel, ran up the three flights of stairs to my room several times a day and hung around in the bar with fellow fen and talked too much. Failed to make it to any program items except the art show.
Hotel staff seemed to be more crap than last year? Getting anything from the bar was excruciatingly slow.
Came home via Mum's for a surprise visit, they only live about 25 miles from Nottingham and today was Bill's birthday.
Home now, Max has not yet forgiven me, particularly as I came home with a Mog toy from Sainsbury's...
Weather is getting a bit wild and woolly again out there.
