It's been a pretty good weekend. I cooked on Friday night - just steak with potatoes+bacon in a vinaigrette and some purple sprouting broccoli. The Jamie Oliver 21-day matured steaks in Sainsbury's are actually very good - I cooked them properly this time, but last time they were still tasty even after I overcooked them horribly.
We started watching Sideways, which we rented from Amazon's DVD rental service. We're on the basic £5 a month for 2 DVDs package, but I don't think we'll get through many more than that. We both enjoyed the film - very nicely observed, and there are some hilarious scenes - mostly nearer the end. Not much happens in the film though - it's just two middle aged guys in the wine country of California.
Today I took the girls over to see Chris + Kirsty and Xav in March. We took the train, and got there just before 12. Had a good lunch, and L and Xav played together. Neither L nor E were very happy to meet Holly (the family dog). They would both scramble onto my lap whenever she was around, although they did relax a bit eventually. Got home about 5, which meant H had most of the day to work on her history and Latin.
Next week I'm in London on Tuesday and Friday - I have Tuesday afternoon off, so I'm thinking I might go on the slides at Tate Modern or something.
