Hi all,
Thanks for my birthday wishes :)
Though my birthday was on Tuesday, I decided to spread it over the weekend. They have a great policy at work here where you get your birthday day off as authorised leave! So I took Monday off too and had a 4 day weekend (which also makes for a 3 day week - very nice). So on the weekend we went to Prague for two nights. It was fantastic! Great fun, all very easy: perfect for a 3 day trip - public transport very good and everyone spoke English. Prague is beautiful - has amazing architecture, lots of very grandiose buildings - with a mixture of styles of Baroque, Gothic and Art Nouveau. Lots of little cobbled winding streets - quite magical. We were really lucky with the weather - had two beautiful blue sky sunny days on Sat and Sunday, and it only started to pack up a bit when we were on our way to the airport on Monday. It was really nice as well to go for a trip and not have to have everything super-organised. We just did what we felt like without stressing about things - had enough time to just wander about and get the feel of the place. We especially enjoyed the markets and the cheap food places! We also managed to fit in a trip to the theatre (black light theatre, apparently it's a special Prague thing), a city sightseeing tour, dinner in a gypsy restaurant, and seeing the astrological clock (bit of a let down!).

So we got back on Monday evening, and then I went to watch gladiator with Mim Liz and Pete.
Yesterday (Tuesday) was really chilled - I just wandered round town not being at work, did some baking, then had some pancakes and watched a film with Nathan.
