This week it has rained, rained... And rained a bit more. I’m still trying to walk to work as much as I can but this week has not been the most pleasant walking I have done. I absolutely love the part of my walk when I get down to the waterfront. The view is so different every day – it’s amazing. I’ve decided to take a picture from the same spot every time I walk past just to get an idea of how the view changes every day.
Rich has finally bought a bike, he’s been off out on it as much as he can, finding new trails and places to go. It’s also the first brand new bike he’s had since he was little so he’s excited about that (and also worried about scratching it!) We did have a slight squealing moment the other night when he got in from a ride. He sat down and ate his tea and when he stood up to get into the shower, the biggest water beetle fell from who knows where – we still don’t know where it was hiding on him while he was sat eating. We were both frozen to the spot, neither one of us wanted to pick it up!
The weekend was quite eventful. On Saturday night we went out to a sports bar in Halifax to watch the Ricky Hatton fight. After a few beers, the suicide chicken wings we orders just didn’t seem hot enough and so the dares started flooding in. ‘If you try the death wings, I will’... Bad idea!
A side note on the death wings. You have to sign a waiver in order to eat them after someone apparently died of a heart attack after eating them. So off Rich went and signed the waiver along with a couple of his mates and then the death wings arrived...
Now, when meal arrives with a drink of milk, you know it’s going to be spicy! Yep, we only managed to nibble at one chicken wing between about 6 of us and we were all rolling on the floor in agony. Honestly it was the hottest thing I have ever tasted! It just didn’t stop burning! Needless to say, we’ve been there, done that and will never, ever order them again. Beer has a lot to answer for!
Our working weeks have been polar opposites. Rich is really quiet at work and it’s mental at my place. We’re both really looking forward to the weekend. The rain is even supposed to stop on Saturday! We don’t know what to do this weekend. I imagine we will be stalking the pet shop again even though we know we can’t get a dog – it passes half an hour!
We’re both ready for the apartment move now, even though we have a few weeks to go. We can’t wait to get into a place where we are happy and want to stay. It will be nice to unpack properly and settle down.
So, enjoy the weekend and I will be back next week with another update (no mention of stupidly spicy food next week I promise!)
