Back from Ireland - Black Park Picnic weekend

Came back from a successful day in Ireland - saw an integrated ecommerce site on a third party server which was very interesting - so we'll be seeing how simple it is to do that. Might have to learn some sort of database integration but we will see. I was pretty tired though, having got up at 4am and landed back in Luton at about 8pm - just enough to miss the England game - which was apparently a blessing. I'm supposed to be at some quiz thing on Tuesday - well i'm first reserve - but as it is the England game .... I've yet to see a full one played.

Had a great weekend - on Saturday I wheeled Rebecca down to the village, went to the library (where she wanted to push her push chair in to everything) and got some new books, the butchers, a card for Gary Able's birthday (in the evening) then back home. In the afternoon we pottered down to the sports club for a beverage and to watch the cricket - very relaxing.

In the evening Sarah, Martin and I went to Gary's 40th birthday party in Aylesbury - we ended up in Waddesden initially before finding the pub eventually. Good to catch up with a few friends - though we only had about 2 hours there before having to come home. We think it is the first time Sarah and I had been out in the evening together!! Simon and Eva from next door very kindly baby sat for us.

Sunday was a very good day - we went to have a look at the house we are buying - it is even better than I remember - and then went and had a picnic in Black Park - tremendous fun - the title links in to the photos from the day - then back for a bar-b-q in the back garden - where the kids were obviously very tired indeed. Rebecca went out like a light when it was time for bed.

This week is looking manically busy again...
