Rant-less Monday

22 09 2008

Well, it’s Monday morning, I’m back in the office and for once, have nothing to moan about or be perplexed by. I had a lovely weekend with no rain and a considerable amount of sunshine. On Saturday we visited the Fiery Food Festival in Brighton’s Victoria Gardens, where I sampled so many chilli sauces and dips etc. that it almost became dangerous. I bought several bottles of instant pain and left only to dash to the Basketmakers for some medicine to dull the burning sensation in my mouth.

Car-free day in Brighton

Sunday was car-free day across several streets in the centre of Brighton and it was quite good fun. In Jubilee Street, children covered the entire road’s tarmac in coloured chalk drawings. In the Lanes, two toddlers cycled over a large piece of paper after having their tricycle tyres covered in paint – watch out Damian, these kids have got you sussed! By the town hall a beach had appeared and little children were discovering the joys of the sandcastle. All in all, it was good fun and only got better with a lovely lunch in a new restaurant called The Chilli Pickle (yes – more chilli) which was very good indeed, and then a nice long afternoon in the Grey’s with friends, drinking beer, reading the papers and laughing a lot.

 

Oh well, back to work…
