Asylum, Oasis and Southwold

Well, it's been a while since I last posted, but it's been quite hectic! First off, a lovely weekend was spent with JK and Gareth (or as we now call them, GayKay), which included much drinking, eating, and a visit to a very strange convention called Asylum. It was about some show that I'd never even heard about (Supernatural) and was 95% women attendees! It was good fun though, especially once the vodka kicked in, plus Karl played Metallica and Pantera in the disco, although it left us both with a sore neck for a few days.

Oasis played Heaton Park last Thursday, and it was a lovely day, nice and warm and sunny, plus we ended up with a refund, as there were power issues whilst Oasis were playing. Not that I really noticed, as I was rather drunk by then! Amazingly we managed to find Becca after the gig, although it was rather a trek, and my toenails were rubbing on the inside of my shoes, and have been rather painful since.

We were rather hung-over on Friday when we got up, but managed to pack the car up and head over to Mum's by about lunchtime. After transferring all the stuff in to her car, she then drove us the rest of the way to Southwold. It was a great weekend, although we didn't catch any fish. Hopefully we'll have better luck in Weymouth.

The Southwold photos are here.

I also took some photos last week of the garden. First, here are the tomato plants. They're coming along great, and have got quite a lot of flowers on them. Hopefully we'll get a bumper crop!


Mint and parsley. There are quite a few plants behind them too that I'm going to hack back once the weather gets a bit nicer:

Carrots, spring onions, lettuce and radishes. Plus there's a Busy Lizzy in there too!

Strawberry plants:

There are actually strawberries on there!

Radishes:


Strawberries. Hopefully we'll have some more ripe ones soon, as these were delicious!
