Busy busy busy
Been a little while since my last post but I've not been idle! My Anatomy & Physiology, Swedish massage and Thermal stone courses have almost ended so I've been frantically finishing any outstanding work for those. So I'm finally qualified and hope to start earning some money soonish!
I fell so far behind on my latest OU module that some serious catching up this week has left me exhausted.
As we are off to California in a few weeks, we have been getting up at the crack of dawn to go running along the seafront in a bid to lose those pounds!
Anna, Byron and Ella came to stay for a week, bringing the lovely weather with them as usual, so much cooking, cleaning and hostessing.
Last weekend we sped up to Manchester for Cait's first communion, we spent a couple of nights with Jo's family and then spent the day with Ann, Todd their kids, family and friends on the Sunday. I think that was my first full catholic mass. It was lovely to see everyone.

The strange folk of Tintagel
Last weekend we headed down to Bude for a long weekend. Kayaks (yes kayaks not surfboards)on the car we arrived at Elements a lovely surf boutique hotel on the coast road between Bude and Widemouth bay. I liked the idea of settling into our cosy room, but Jo thought we should check out the facilities which included a gym and sauna. The exercise over and a quick shower, we were in the bar waiting for dinner, that's more like it. The food was very good and judging by the full tables of locals this place is getting a good reputation. Saturday we caught up with a few people from Martlet to watch a pro surf kayak competition.
We popped down to Tintagel for a spin round the town and up to the castle.
Later we checked into the northshore backpackers, I'm fast growing out of dormitory accommodation but this was were many Martlet people were staying. We popped down to the pub for a pint which turned into two, then a curry in town before declaring ourselves too tired to socialise any more and headed back with the paper to our bunk beds.
Sunday we took part in a days surf kayak training at Crooklets and Summerleaze beaches. It was great getting back in our boats after such an absence, we vowed to paddle much more often in Brighton. The end of the day saw us head back to Elements for the Sunday night, that's more like it! Oh how we ached! Another lovely meal and a good nights rest.

Birthday & Tate Modern
So it's my birthday and I'll go to Due South if I want to.....even though it's cooking up a storm out there! Two very dishevelled heads of hair turn up to the lovely beach restaurant for some great nosh. We popped into The Heist for champers beforehand,it was surprisingly civilised in there for a West Street establishment, it was only 7 o'clock though.
This Saturday we caught up with my sister, brother and his wife at the Tate modern, we had some nice lunch in the cafe there and then looked around at some of the exhibits including Doris Salcedo's Shibboleth, perhaps better known as 'the crack' in the turbine hall.
We walked over the millennium bridge which was being filmed by a low flying helicopter. Later we met Chris, Paul and Damien at The Commercial. It was lovely to catch up with them as it's been too long since we saw them last.
