The North Hill Noodle Bar

How could I forget!  Yesterday, after coming back from a course in Cambridge I managed to get home.  The day before, when I had got home, it was late and I had to cut short the story I am reading to the kids (The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe), which meant that I promised to read two chapters on Tuesday.  So I got home after a long drive at the end of a long course, to find two hyperactive children.  Both were really happy to see me, which is really nice.  I even got a hug from my son who does not do so everyday.  Both then wanted to play on me, so I told them that I would go upstairs while they had jelly and when they finished, I would read to them as promised. 

They did come up, and I did manage to calm them down, to read them the rest of the chapter, but not the otherone as my wife and I had to go to my daughters school for the "Year ahead" meeting.  That was good as it gives us an idea of what is coming up in the next year.  Afterwards, it was a quick meal at The North Hill Noodle Bar.  I have posted about this before, and again, we had a great meal.  We just wanted something quick and good, and it was both.  Prompt and attentive service, the food not taking too long.   Bear in mind, this is a restaurant, so no, the speed of the food coming out will never compare to McDonalds or the like, but for a restaurant, the food was brought out fairly quickly.  And as before, the food was brilliant.  Full of flavour, and if you wanted a change to a dish, they would accomdate yoru wishes, as my wife found out when she wanted her dish to be a bit hotter.

Anyway, have to go, take care all.

I went mental when I caught the wife pulling a Face behind my back. I won't be taking her to next years 'A-Team convention

Afternoon all.

It is the last day of the holidays.  Both for me and the kids.  Over this time, as noted, the kids have been taken to Legoland as well as on a trip to London.  My Mum came up on the weekend to babysit so that I could take my wife out to a meal at the Noodle Bar followed by a trip to the Arts Centre.  That was great for me, my wife not liking the comedy show as much, well it was based on maths!  

First of all, the Noodle Bar.  Great food.  Great service.  We used to eat there a few years ago, but have not been out as much as we would like to be.  The place has changed, when we were last there, there was no upstairs and neither of us can remember a desert menu.  The food back then was good, and if anything, I felt it has got better.  Certainly worth the price and the way that they dealt with people was great.  They were up front and honest about needing our table back at 2000, allowed us to eat and were really accomdating.  This is somewhere I would recommend to others, especially as it was great value for money

Your Days Are Numbered was something, as noted earlier, that my wife did not like as much as I did.  And to be honest, I can see why.  I know a bit more about maths than she does and this is not something that I would recommend for those who do not know about maths.  It was a great way of teaching people about risks of dying and this would be great for those learning about medical statistics as well as maths.

Anyway, right know the kids have come down from their Grandmother induced high and are playing with the toys that my mother bought for them.

Time to go, and I hope you like these links from The Voice, which both the kids are getting into.

To all the lady pirates out there - remember, you're amazing just the way you ARRRRR.

"What do you want for your birthday?" I asked my wife.
She replied, "Anything with gold in it!"
I can't wait to see her face when she opens her new marigolds.
