Euro Millions
Countdown to the lottery
This Friday we at work have undertaken an great investment opportunity. £1.50 gives those that signed up to the syndicate an equal share in some worthless pieces of paper.

Should we or should we not come to work on Monday, that is the big question. Should we be stealing a couple of this big Ikea bags so we can stash the huge pile of notes from the £110,000,000 Euro Millions rollover lottery draw.

Yup, I think so. Or at least I hope so, or at least I wish, or plead.... or anything.....

I shall wait patiently with my glass of Sancerre and plate of seafood. Oh the highlife has started.

BrusselsYet another feast at the infamous Mexican Grill in Overijse. Plates full of whelks, prawns, smoked salmon, oysters and crab claws, inter-dispersed with salad just to be healthy. Yum, yum.

Was good to see Tom, Sharon and the kids. Unfortunately Tom sustained a football injury on the Saturday leading his team to a glorious draw, I think.

Didn't make it into Brussels really, only to town of Monchau that was in Germany and had an all-year-round Christmas shop, and to Antwerp on the last day.

Christchurch Food Festival
Christchurch Food Festival
Restaurants and eateries are so varied around here.

From Gary Rhodes's restaurant for lunch to a Harvester for dinner in the same day through to Iranian kebabs in town the next week. That is how we roll around here.

That reminds me, the Christchurch Food Festival is coming up at the begining of May.

No shoes, just a new piece of art

Created: 19 April 2009

Having sat up early in bed browsing Westover Gallery's website we both seemed to agree on the same piece once we popped into the gallery.

Richard Rowan does quite stunning landscapes although Ange did like one by another artist that looked like something that your English nan would have but I quickly sidestepped that one. This artist had a beautiful piece on glass that was absolutely stunning but 5-G is a bit much to pay. Not won the lottery just yet.

The one we chose should offset the magnolia wall in the lounge no end!

0% interest on mortgage!

Details
Created: 19 April 2009

I finally got the letter from the mortgage company that says because of my tracker mortgage follows the base rate at a discounted level, it actually means that this month my mortgage interest level is 0%, that is a monthly payment of £0! Whoo hoo.

I doubt I will see that happen again though, although if it does then that means the economy has messed up big time again.

Time to buy a new pair of shoes.

Southbourne Groove

We all try and get involved in the local community scene in Southbourne, Dorset.

When I have time, I try and update southbournegroove.com with snippets of news and events.
