This weekend has been a fairly busy one, some nice stuff, and some not so nice stuff.

I'll start with the not so nice stuff. After I had left the barbecue at Andy's on friday night, Rich and his friends decided they wanted to go to Strattons. Now Strattons is awful. It is Abingdon's only nightclub, frequented by a funny mix of teenagers and 50 year olds. Lou was trying to tell them all not to bother, but after a few cans they were adament. On the way there, as they were walking through the park which is pretty much next to my house, some teenage lads decided to start some trouble, and threw a bottle at Rich's brothers head. Rich, for obvious reasons, wasn't too happy, and retaliated. He is now in hospital having his broken jaw fixed. Rich isn't a small bloke by any means, but being completely outnumbered by Chav's, just didn't really have a chance. So apparently they all spent the night at the police station giving statements etc. Louisa rang me in a bit of a panic on saturday to check I'd got home ok (Andy only lives round the corner, but I had walked through the very same park), because she'd heard someone else had had some trouble with the same group of teenagers that night. Fortunately it wasn't me!

Other than that piece of news my weekend was really good. Adama and I took Esther and Ben to Oxford on saturday morning to see Est in her bridesmaid dress, and get Mark's birthday presents. Esther looked gorgeous, and I have just heard today that Kate tried it on too and liked it, so thats sorted! I also got some lovely new shoes, (the black ones) I really must stop spending money! Adam and I then pottered around here for a bit, sorting out stuff for our holiday, then drove up to Birmingham for the night. We went to see Angela, one of my best friends from uni, and her boyfriend Nick. They took us to a barbecue at one of Ang's friends houses, which was really nice, and then off to a club called Snobs in Birmingham. Snobs is a cool little indie club, which for anyone who knows Oxford, is rather like the Zodiac. Its a bit of a dive, but plays good music, and there aren't so many idiots around as in other places! We had a really good night, and didn't get to bed till about 3.30am. I had to be at work at 1pm on sunday, and just about managed to get out of bed and drive back in time! Sunday afternoon, after spending a couple of hours at work, was spent watching the Wimbledon men's final, and snoozing, perfect!

So now I only have a 4 day week at work, before heading off to Zakynthos on friday. I cannot wait. Hoepfully it will be nice and relaxing, and I'll get a good tan, thats really all I ask from a holiday.
