No, not sherwood forest this time... although close... we headed back that way to Thoresby Park, where they had a giant maze made from maize!

Right, before I go any further, I will say, i'm not even going to start with the cheesy puns, because I think Mike's managed to use every one possible anyway... ;-)

(See I even managed not to say corny... )

There's meant to be loads of these maze's all round the country ( infact, the world apparently!), so we reckon we should challenge ourselves to visit every one! That's some challenge, since they spread as far as South Africa, America, you name it....!!!


Was very random, but a good day again! Even better than sherwood forest possibly! lol. Surovy had to get her 'souvenier' of course... Well, part of the maze itself really... As modelled by her and Claire above! Apologies for the shocking quality picture again, this time it was my rubbish phone camera to blame...

Mike managed to hobble around the maze, which is quite impressive really, since we spent over an hour and a half in there... we weren't lost, just wanted to see it all, honest!

Infact, I just realised I hadn't posted about Mike's knee again yet, so i'll explain the reason he was hobbling! Yep, you guessed it... badminton ended in tears (well nearly) again last weekend. Same thing again with his knee. Not good. Besides it being extremely painful at the time, no doubt, more than anything because now he's even more bored all the time and thus so am I! lol

We're just not meant to play badminton! And I'm getting a reputation for injuring people now... Stu did something to his elbow as well when I was playing him next...

It's just a coincidence!!!! :-|

Anyway, so, hopefully they'll be a part three to this post as well, because we still need to fit in a trip to the seaside before the end of the summer! Didn't think that was the best idea on a bank holiday monday that was all...

Oh yeah, had an awesome night at Loveshack on fri too. We actually went to some different bars too! Shock, horror! Place called the The Fat Cat which is really nice and the new Revolution in the Corner House. Mike couldn't come out though which was annoying because he might have had trouble in Loveshack on his knee... no comments please about me not being able to stand up even with both legs in tact...

Had a bit of a random day out yesterday, decided we would go to Sherwood Forest! Me, Mike, Alison, Claire and Surovy. Photo at the Major Oak to prove it... :)



Was actually a really good day, took some food and stuff and had a wander round the good old sherwood forest visitor centre. Not been there in like 10 years! Made a nice change from getting drunk for once! - Although we did go to the pub when we got back... I still didn't drink though cos I was driving!

The rain even held off! Although only just, got back and it absolutley slung it down all night!

And I resisted the temptation to buy a bow and arrow from the gift shop, they're great! Used to have so many of them when I was younger! Although Surovy had to buy her "piece of wood" fridge magnet, which was very authentic, honest ;-)

I know I keep saying, but The Feeling's album is so good! It's definitely now one of my favourites this year and I would recommend getting it if you haven't already!

It has to be good because it's now passed the boredom test, as in, i've played it about 30 times and i'm still not bored of it at all :)

As for best song on there, it has to be Love It When You Call. Class!

Ended up having a great night on friday at Loveshack, not sure if it was the amount of alcohol we had consumed but it certainly seemed good :) Sadly it's not Loveshack as we knew it, not so many of those 80's cheese classics, but i'm sure we can live with it!

Was a good weekend all round actually, played some pool on saturday night - after we'd eventually recovered from the hangovers... well, I lost some pool anyway :- But I came back on Sunday and kicked Alex's ass at badminton to make up for it!

Sadly, sunday night I felt a bit crap, something I ate maybe, although not sure what! Couldn't sleep all night so ended up calling in sick the next day :( Better now though!

So that very expensive week ended with a very expensive weekend too! I blame Alex for making me drink so much... ;-)
