New Years walk

We took a picnic to Rother Valley Park this morning and took the dog for a nice long walk in the muddy fields around the lake. 

This year was a little different to the last time we were there in that we have Hugo now and the fact that it was not horizontal raining today 🙂 we also got to watch some jet-bikers skipping around the smaller jet-ski lake – those bad boys didn’t sound much but by crikey they were FAST.

Hugo managed a two hour wander around with no intention of weeing despite being placed in ideal grassy circumstances for at least 20 minutes at the end of the walk – then promptly weed in the car less than 5 minutes after having got in, while we were getting out of our wellies etc 🙁

Thankfully he stayed clean and dry for the remainder of the journey as we called into Coast to Coast restaurant in Sheffield’s Centertainment area 🙂

Then homeward for a cheeky New Yeara Gin and Lemonade 🙂 Such sweet joys …

Ski lessons booked…. Gulp!

Daddy has got two three hour ski lessons booked in starting this coming Sunday evening – GULP!

Decided to go for two three hour sessions and then a final single hour session to get the 5 stages of the required certification. An eight hour single day gig was too frightening a prospect apparently…. Meow…

Let’s see if he damages himself….

Later today, over to the Alhambra to watch Jack and the Beanstalk 🙂 

Hokkaido night

Last night we went out with Martin, Tracy, Chris and Nic to the Japanese restaurant, Hokkaido in Wakefield – a really fun evening with friends and a novel dining experience with the food all cooked on a hot plate right in front of our eyes. It was a £45 per head gig including a good amount of drinks so not a super cheap meal, but then a really nice experience to boot. 

Don’t think We would return as just a couple as this is definitely a group experience. We all came out having enjoys the food and experience but we all agreed to still feeling a little hungry.

We have (or Vicky has) taken down all of the Christmas decorations and Simon has put them away for another year – just the outside lights to go but these can wait until just after the New Year.
