Second week in October weekly roundup

So last week seems to have gone by in a blur of work and sickness. It started off with my husband coming down with a nasty cold and proceeded to him giving it to me, thanks dearest.

Apart from that work remains chaotic as we are still short staffed, but there is light at the end of the tunnel and we should soon be taking more people on. 

The highlight of the week for me was visiting Bailiffgate Museum in Alnwick with my dad. It is a small museum all about Alnwick and the surrounding area, and is pretty interactive and fun. We both had a lovely time trying on hats and reading about the past and seeing different things from the past. We even learned a bit about Alnwick Pants, which are water fountains. 

The second highlight was a belated night out for my husband's birthday. We went to Laos in China town in Newcastle, it's an all you can eat buffet style restaurant. It was a nice meal and there was plenty of choice and nice food. We finished the night of with a drink in Rosie's bar, which is also in China Town. again we had a great time and there was a great atmosphere. The bar is a real mix of locals, townies and students.

The low point of my week was an Asda delivery van knocking the wing mirror of our car and then driving off. Luckily we had it on cctv, so my husband has contacted Asda to see what they are going to do. As of today they should have filled out a claim form, so hopefully we will hear back from the insurance company.
