Last week Sarah and I took a week out from our normal lives and shuffled off to Sheffield to visit a few of Sarah’s friends from uni. All things being said it was a jolly good week, mostly comprising of sleeping in late, exploring and shopping in the afternoon and then going out at night.

One of my favourite nights of the week was our games night, we bought a few bottles from the local co-op, ordered ourselfs some top quality food from Dominoes and broke out the board games, atmosfear (or nightmare for all you across the pond) had to be the best of the lot, it was made substantially better by the fact that everyone had been enjoying a few drinks too. Unfortunately on this occasion we didn’t manage to beat the gatekeeper and remain “maggots” (his words not mine).

Sarah, having lived in Sheffield for a couple of years whilst studying, had a great local knowledge of good places to go out. The best in my opinion was Bia Hoi (google it if you want to know more), a great cocktail bar that had all sorts of amazing looking drinks, I particularly liked the “oriental express”, a coffee flavoured cocktail with cream floating on the surface.

There are plenty of pictures that I’ll soon upload to the gallery, but if you can’t wait and know me personally then check out my facebook profile for a few.

Now, I wouldn’t normally be blogging at this time of day as I’m usually in work but today I’m doing a server migration for a client and happen to have a few minutes to spare whilst the installation continues, the office has been preparing for this for quite a long time and I must admit that the task at hand is rather daunting, but I’m pretty confident and will keep you informed of the results. For anyone who’s interested I’m using Jeff Middleton’s Swing Migration method.

I’ve got quite a busy weekend ahead of me, a couple of birthdays loom and next week is my graduation so I’m sure I’ll have plenty of blogging material to keep me busy writing. I’ll probably upload some pictures from those as well.

That’s all for now, keep checking the gallery for new pictures and come back soon to look for the latest update.
