Our weekend

Hello everyone

We had a nice weekend away it was just so good to get away and relax.

My camera is well and truly broken so therefore I could not get any photos in Torquay which was rather annoying. I am going to take it in somewhere tomorrow to see if I can fix it and if not it will be a case of buying a new camera.  Does anyone know the best place to buy one I don't want one thats mega expensive.

On Friday the weather was ok, we got down to Torquay at about 12ish and then spent a few hours just wandering around the harbour and having lunch.  Then on Friday night we had a lovely meal and happened to be ordering drinks in a bar when we bumped into one of Mike's friends and his wife. Neither had mentioned they were going away so it was a total surprise to see them, We ended up spending the night having a few drinks with them...what a small world we live in!

On Saturday we wandered into town had a look around a few shops. I love looking in the tacky souvenir shops as you always find little things that make you laugh.  We are having a new porch in a couple of weeks and new front door I know that does not sound exciting but it is for us as its going to make the house look fantastic.  We had a look in TK Maxx somewhere I don't tend to go in much but they do have some gorgeous items.  We bought a rather large and rather fabulous vase to put in the round window inside the porch and we also bought another tall vase with floral arrangement to also put in the porch.  TK Maxx has soe lovely items for the home.

We then walked further along the harbour and sat outside one of the pavement cafes with a drink just watching the boats coming in and out and watching the seagulls trying to pinch food from people ha ha.  

We then had a game of crazy golf  and went back to the hotel for a couple of hours in the swimming pool which was lovely.  Later we had a 4 course dinner and had a few more drinks.

On Sunday the weather was just terrible so we left early to come back.

So its back to normality now and back to tiresome job hunting.  Oh how I hate all this job hunting mallarcky! Still its only 4 weeks till we go to Tenerife so something else to look forward to.

Sunday evening we has a takeaway curry from our lovely friendly local chinese.

I think I will be back on the diet regime now as to be honest I have ate enough food to feed a small country in the last 3 days!

When I got back to blogland I found out I won Sadie's giveaway here http://www.brandnewbutterflywings.com/2011/05/giveaway.html

Thankyou Sadie so looking forward to receiving the goodies I was going to buy that Katie Piper book the other day so glad I didn't now.  Looking forward to reading this. 

Hope you all had a nice weekend and sorry about the lack of photos.
