*Yawn*

What a thoroughly knackering weekend. Friday was spent watching Grease and Liz gave me my Birthday present, a 5-in-1 Namco games box :D On Saturday we drove out to Uffington Castle which is an ancient site containing just about everything except a castle. Sadly the weather was not on our side and so we get completely drenched and covered in chalky mud walking to the "Wayland Smithy": An ancient burial chamber. Then, after we reached the verge of hypothermia looking at the Uffington White Horse, we made our way back to the car to warm up.

We decided to go to a pub for lunch, but the first one we encountered was closed. After a while of driving around without finding any pubs we decided to head back to Newbury with the intention of screeching to a halt if we found a suitable looking pub. I nearly missed a turning we needed to take as I didn't hear Liz say "Right" and as I realised we were nearly past the corner. I'm not sure what happened to me, I just threw the steering wheel to the right and we skidded around the corner. I worry about myself sometimes, but I think I scared Liz more than I scared myself. She was very quiet for some time after that little trick.

We reached a little village that I can't remember the name of and found about 4 pubs in a row, so stopped at the one that had a sign outside that said "Serving food NOW!" We were extremely lucky. It was a nice quiet pub with an open fire, a good vegetarian selection (despite listing Tuna Pasta Bake as vegetarian) and even the Coke tasted nicer than the watered down crap you'd get at the average pub. We were both very pleased with our dinners.

Later Woodsta and Eppa turned up for a night of drunken debauchery. This entaled going to Sainsbury's to buy vast quantities of alcohol and watching Zoolander and Mystery Men. There may have been another DVD in there somewhere, but I honestly can't rememebr.

This morning (Sunday) we all went to Avebury so that Eppa and Woodsta could take pictures of the standing stones. Liz and I tagged along for the ride. The weather was much better than when we went to Uffington. We had lunch at the extortionate cafe which serves almost nothing but Vegan/Vegetarian foods where Liz and I both had a Hummus with Roasted Peppers sandwich and a slice of Vegan chocolate cake. I want to know how they make that cake. It's absolutely delicious, although very heavy.

After returning from Avebury I packed all my stuff up and left for home. Typical uneventful journey. Now I'm home and starving and knackered.

Dinner then bed, me-thinks.
