Post 100

Indeed, the 100th post. Not that any of you lot out there would notice, seeing how hardly anyone looks here these days! Bah humbug. I'm on nights and staying up late, and I'm grumpy :-(

Anywaaaaaaaaay for those who do accidentally stumble across here lots has been going on in JR towers.

The hallway, which had some lovely flaky wallpaper all torn at the edges has been finally redone. It was a tad messy as the below may well evidence. The cat was quite bemused by all this.
Bec had a birthday and we went out for a Thai meal, in which between us we managed to take precisely zero decent pictures of any of us. So, have some of the bad ones! There was quite a bunch of us there, was good. Entertainment was mostly provided in the form of one of the dishes which had, if you weren't looking at what you were eating, chunks of a ferocious red chilli that if you eat it sent you gasping for the nearest pot of fluid and generally going red, and saying lots of things like "aaaaaaaaaaagh hot", "eeeeeeeeerrgh", generally accompanied with lots of flappy hand movements trying to calm fiery mouth down. Jon Taylor for some reason completely unfathomable to the rest of us decided he felt left out of the pain most others had experienced at one point or another and so deliberately sought out one of these chillies. Once we finished scratching our heads as to precisely why he did this we then spent the next 5 minutes laughing at the reaction it provided.
Bec's birthday happily coincided with Easter Holidays from school and so we went off for a couple of days to Lincoln- a popular place for us to go, seeing how it is the birthplace of Bec! Discovered this place on the internet, and we stayed there two nights. We had their posh nosh on the first night, and albeit on the expensive side (for us!) it really was rather fine. Bec still hasn't stopped talking about their Risotto.

Lincoln is a very interesting city, lots of history going back to roman times, and has lots of wonky buildings all over the place. The cathedral is simply enormous and warrants a visit every time. Along with the castle opposite it, it dates from William the Conquerors time.

We then spent Easter Weekend at Family Johnson over Colchester way, which was v cool, lots of walks and lots of good food. We returned to Hertfordshire with the car laden with chocolate, which is proving a real chore to get through. Really. That reminds me. Time for another mini egg.

I'm now back to work. Booooooooring. Monday was completely uneventful but Tuesday had a few interesting moments with people who didn't want to be arrested, people swinging iron bars around. Permanent Sergeant applications are out so I'm trying to get that paperwork sorted out inbetween all the usual nonsense London throws my way!

Right, I think its time for bed for me now. Goodnight all!
