Bank Holiday Weekend

Relatively quiet Bank Holiday weekend, despite having been paid last Friday.

A pleasant stroll to The Greyfriars Friday evening for a meal, pricey but atmospheric, service left a little to be desired, and we left feeling that they were not too bothered whether we came back or not, which was a shame.

Saturday was quietish, Lucy and I met the Manager of the Alton House Hotel as we are finally well down the path to organizing our Wedding. I am quite excited (for a bloke, it's all relative you know!!). They have a day that we like the sound of, so will be heading back their soon to provisionally book Friday the 10th August 2007.

Spent what felt like the afternoon wading through thousands of Vinyl samples trying to find one that would match the colour of the Bathroom walls, still struggling to actually find anything, but no doubt the perfect one does exist, somewhere.

Saturday evening saw us head to the Dukes, not a great night out, a bit niggly here and there, but that's life sometimes. Left a bit early to find L who had gone to the Weybridge with Jo.

Sunday, spend more time laying the Hardboard over the underlay in the bathroom, until I got bored and stopped. Went to the White Horse for a quiet drink but was hijacked by Mick the totally nutty Northerner from the Dukes.

Finished the Bathroom floor by mid afternoon in time to sit and watch the Arsenal comfortably beat Sunderland, who were a bit better than the 3-0 scoreline suggested (though not that much better). The game ended (literally as it was the 91st minute) with Dan Smith some Sunderland nipper catching my pal Abou Diaby with a rather late reckless tackle.

Poor old Abou has fractured and dislocated his Ankle ruling him out of the Champions League final in two weeks time. Everybody feels for him, let's hope that time heals and he comes back strong next season.

As for the Sunderland lad, I agree with Mr Wenger when he said that the only person who didn't think it was a Red Card was the referee, it was very late and very dangerous, as proven by the damage caused.

Goals from Fabregas and and exquisite Henry freekick followed an Own Goal and victory was assured as the biys went in 3-0 up at half time.

Van Persie and Henry could have made it worse for the hosts, but reward enough was to see Ashley Cole back and fit again.

Roll on Thursday and Manchester City away, hopefully Reyes, Gilberto, Senderos and Flamini could all be in line for returns from injury, one hopefully to replace the stricken Diaby.
