Fri/Sat - off to Exeter

Hi

Well the plan was to go off to North Devon for a night - and then go somewhere Saturday before heading to Exeter saturday night - ready for my 10k run Sunday morning - but instead we had to take Bitsy to the vets! She could not walk on one of her back legs.  The vet seemed pretty clueless to be honest - but we now know she has a very scabby foot, and sores under her 'arm' pits, she has a sore chin and a scab on the back of her neck.  The other cats seem to have smaller scabs on the back of their necks too...there seems to be some sort of skin condition - but the vet reckons she had stood in something caustic - licked it getting her chin infected with it - and....well...its rubbish!  The vet did take her off and give her foot a good clean though...

So - Friday night we played pool with Connor and Emily - had a good time as usual!

Saturday - we finally got off to Exeter!  I found a room for us in a pub - I thought it was above the pub but it was a hotel attached to it - so it was much better than I expected!  We went out around Exeter - we went in a place called the Rum & Crab shack - just to get a cocktail - and we left hours later! lol.  We ended up eating in there and having a few cocktails.  The vibe was good and it was a fun place to be so we just stayed there!!

 This is Andy in the Rum & Crab Shack! 

I sent Lissa a pic of us both and she sent this back....

So we thought it would be funny to sort of get in the pic too - so sent her this:

then this:

we got Helen and Paul involved and sent these:

then Connor....

Lissa then sent these back....

Haha! That kept us entertained for a while!!

Once we realised that it was quite late, I was quite drunk and had a 10k to run the next morning - we headed back to where we were staying - and went to the bar! hehe.  I was sensible at last and had a pint of coke.  We decided to video message Helen and Paul - which was really funny - we took this pic...

In general everybody thought it was quite funny that I was quite drunk and had to be up and at the place for the run by 8.30am the next morning - I was a little concerned myself!

We went to bed about 11.15pm - I wore ear plugs and had an alarm set for 7.30am....
