Happy Easter

We hosted the family at our new house his Easter. It was our first Easter as a married couple and a good one. Kids enjoyed the iPad experience too.
Now I’m full of beef, ham, twice baked potatoes, beer, champagne and a whiskey to round off the evening

What a good weekend

Friday

  • Good day at work
  • Sold my house in England
  • Celebration drinks with Fridays

Saturday

  • San Jose Sharks gam in the morning
  • Gilroy outlets in the late afternoon
  • Dinner/Drinks/Band in Morgan Hill in the evening

Sunday

  • Watched the start of the F1 season
  • Some pottering around the house
  • A bike ride around the neighborhood
  • Dinner at the in-laws

Not bad for one weekend!

Back in the saddle

First ride of the year, a nice gentle 10 miles around the base of the hills. Didn’t really expect that much rain though.

Happy New Year

Dinner @ California Cafe, Los Gatos

A quiet NYE this year. After all the excitement of moving, Christmas and preparing the old place we decided to have a nice dinner @ California Cafe, Los Gatos then come home and toast in the new year in our new home.

Great fun! Great year! Bring on 2010

2009 on balance
