Simon's Cat 'Cat Man Do'

My cat tends to bite my ear, without claws.

Friday Off

Yesterday (Friday) I had the day off, another friend had the week off, and the other two in the picture, took the day off, and we went out for a few beers in Bury St.Edmunds town centre starting lunchtime.

We started off in the Regency Hotel, before moving across the road to the Kings Arms, where the picture was taken in the courtyard.

After one in here, we went to the Grapes, and again sat out the back in the courtyard there. After a quick Big Mac at the golden arches, it was the courtyard at the Masons Arms that hosted us next, before moving on to the Queens Head and shooting some pool.
A Taxi back to the local was called for to end an enjoyable day, nice one guys.

Bank (Blog) Holiday Monday

I haven't been blogging much lately, mainly because I haven't done much outside of the usual 9 to 5 routine.
I have, this weekend, run the wife down to Gatwick airport, and the rain was horrendous. I'm sure if we'd left the house 10 minutes later, the M25 would have been shut off, as a car had aquaplaned into the central reservation barrier, and was facing the wrong way in the fast lane, and we would have been waiting for the vehicle to be recovered. I heard on the way back that the road had just re-opened at the place of the accident.
Today, Bank holiday Monday, was no different to much of my spare time, as in its spent in my local. Apart from a pleasant chat with fellow blogger, GrumpyOldWoman (who doesn't actually look too old, and had been to Turkey, as did I last year, and do again in September, and her legs were browner than in her photograph, she showed me!).
As I sat with the regulars, a member of staff came across and said, a couple at the end of the bar (from America, who read my blog) would like to meet me. So I went over, and they were from Des Moines in Iowa, and had a nice chat with them for 20 minutes, or so.

Ipswich Town Shirt for 08/09 revealed

Ipswich Town F.C. have today unveiled their new shirt sponsor for next season, and not surprisingly it is the company owned by the football club owner Marcus Evans Group. The deal will last 5 years until the summer of 2013.

Art or Graffiti

Is this art or graffiti ? This handy-work has appeared in the subway near the the Moreton Hall pub, and I have to say it is very impressive.

When it is a picture like this (as opposed to just a signature (tag)) it is very stunning, and shows the very clever use of the colours used to create it, and the detail (not fish tail).
It generally gets painted out it the subway, but something like this is cheery.
Can it be moderated ? or should it be kept in the youth club ? or, indeed, was it a youth ?

May Bank Holiday

May Bank holiday weekend and my wife has gone to London with her friend, who got married in Turkey last year, for two nights. They are going to see the Mama Mia show tonight at the Theatre, and she has the camera, so I hope to get a picture or two.
This gives me a free (long) weekend, and I'll be watching the Ipswich v Hull City game tomorrow which kicks off at 2pm, hoping we can make the play-offs.
