The Meet (2019)
Another one of Steve's crazy ideas, a festival-style customer conference.
Roger & Eva's Wedding
Roger and Eva were getting married in Roger's native Edinburgh, which was about as far away from Chichester as you could get without needing a translator, but Foggy, Loukesy and myself hopped on an EasyJet and went anyway. I think the delays at the airport took longer than the flight.
Obligatory vaguely amusing anecdotes: the vicar telling the whole congregation that Roger had been made redundant that week; earlier as the flight landed Foggy pointed out that this might mean they'd have to cancel the honeymoon, and me pointing out that, being Scottish, he'd never cancel because he'd lose his deposit. That last one's more funny when you know that my ears had popped on the flight, so I said it at the top of my voice - on a 'plane full of Scots. Oh, and we got on the official wedding photos in our see-you-Jimmy hats. I almost made a fool out of myself comparing the sporrans people were wearing to dead badgers, until one guest turned around wearing a sporran made out of a badger's head. And probably the only Scottish wedding in history not to serve alcohol, although we found the hotel bar fairly quickly.
Foggy's Leaving Do
There should really be more photographs of this momentous occasion, but frankly I was pissed. But in the good way.
Fistful of Tacos 2
Back to the Mexican restaurant, taking Andy with us. He was helping us install servers into schools.
Icecream
A few pics from my early attempts to make icecream. Don't think they looks as appetising as the finished result tasted though.
Must get round to putting my recipes up at some point, so I don't lose all the little scraps of paper...
Chinese New Year 2004 (Monkey)
Our third year going to Gordon's New Year bash
Chinese New Year 2003 (Ram)
Our by-now annual appointment at Confucius's Chinese New Year celebrations
Chinese New Year 2002 (Horse)
The Confucius Chinese Restaurant in Chichester became something of a second home, where we'd meet up after work to chat and drink and eat and then drink some more. The Chinese New Year celebrations were a good excuse to do that some more, but all night.
Fishbourne Celtic Day
The Roman Palace at Fishbourne, which was just across town from where I lived in Chichester, put on a day where a number of re-enactments took place - pottery and food, fine, but let's face it everyone was there for the battles. And I just couldn't resist picking up a sword for myself. My first, but not my last!
