Congratulations to England on qualifying to be knocked out of the group stages of Euro 2016.

Just a quick post on the weekend.  As I do often, I was working on Saturday, and I got home to meet the kids who had been away since Wednesday.  My mother-in-law kindly took them to her house to look after them for a few days, which meant that my wife and I had some quality time together.
We went out to GreyFriars restaurant in Colchester, a lovely place to eat and I have to say, while expensive, in my opinion, it was worth the money.  Great food (which may take time to come on occasion), terrific service and an amazing setting.  We both loved it and returned on Friday after work with two friends, though not for dinner, but a few drinks.
On getting home on Saturday, it was great to see the kids, and they appeared to have missed me (my wife had picked them up, and they certainly had missed her).  While my wife and I had to go out for a dance afterwards (and what a great night that was) today we spent some time in the garden playing catch and a few other games as well.  The only down sides of this weekend was not being able to watch the football and missing out on Strictly.
Chess appears to be more interesting for the two of them.  They are hoping to get my two brothers into it, one of whom has said he will start to play on-line with them.  As for me, two more on-line competitions lost, 3rd Green Wing and Speed King 054 but the games were fun.
I would love to post more, but I am tired and now in need of sleep!  Goodnight and I hope you like the videos of two songs my daughter likes (and one version she does not).
