Fi's Birthday weekend was a pleasant affair. Saturday night turned out to be a Karaoke-fest. It is with some misfortune that we have in our possession both the 'Singstar' games for the Playstation 2. The songs are mostly bouncy pop tunes from the charts but there are some classics there too keep the oldies interested!! Anyway, that went on until 1am(ish), by that time, our collective old age had got the better of us.
We had a good old family lunch on Sunday and followed it up with a trip to the Cinema to see 'Hitch' - an entertaining flick.
With Monday being Fi's actual Birthday, we both had the day off. Given that we've been member of the National Trust for some time now, we decided to go to Dunster Castle near Minehead. It turned out to be a good decision and I would recommend it to anyone who happens to find themselves in that part of England. In the Evening, we had a great meal in The Moon and Sixpence. It's a bit of a Bath favourite, but the first time we had been there and it was fantastic!
The Powergen Cup was last Saturday and Bath were in the final for the first time since 1996. We all had high hopes, not least because we were playing bottom of the Premiership Leeds Tykes. Sadly, we weren't good enough on the day and lost 20-12 despite dominating for much of the game. At least I didn't waste money on the ticket though!
I mock, but would've gone given half the chance, but as luck would have it we had booked tickets to see Mascagni's Cavallaria Rusticana and Leoncavalla's Pagliacci at the Bristol Hippodrome many moons ago. In contrast to the Rugby, the Opera(s) were excellent, especially as we somehow managed to get front row seats! Cavallaria Rusticana holds a particularly special place in our hearts as the Intermezzo was played as we signed the register at our wedding. The live performance was unforgettable.
