On 16/5/05, Mark Roberts, discombobulated, unleashed: >Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a great birthday in >Oxford on Saturday. We arrived around 11:30 and had a cup of tea and a >snack before returning the rental car. Then Lisa and I did an afternoon >walking tour of Oxford's charity/fair-trade shops with Cotty's better >half Alma
I've managed to avoid that one - after all these years >after lunch at our favorite Oxford eating place (also her >favorite Oxford eating place), the Nose Bag. We took the bus to Chez >Cotty for dinner and birthday festivities. I tried both Fiddler's Elbow >and Hobgoblin ale. Both excellent but I must agree with Jostein that >Hobgoblin's the best. !! Too thick for me. Tongue needs a shave after drinking that stuff. >Cotty and ALma had a slightly anarchic cooking >session which produced an outstanding meal. Thanks Guv. Next time I'll do the Indian food thing and it'll be all me with no meddling. >Great stuff indeed. We met >their son Stefan, who's a great kid (despite the remote control >electronic fart-noise generator he hid in our room) He was the brains but I have to admit I was the hired muscle. >and the household >pets (two cats and one hamster). Drank wine and had a splendid time of >it. Yeah, we enjoyed that too. Wonderful evening. I slept like a baby (kept waking up every half hour and being sick ;-) >The next morning I took a few shots from Cotty's kitchen door. Here's >one: http://www.robertstech.com/temp/cottysyard2.jpg Fab! Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________
