    A lovely day out in London town - the Magna Carta exhibition at The British Library, lunch at a Peruvian restaurant in Soho and plenty of walking :cool:

    ~40,000 steps this weekend :T

    Ha ha! The minute I read that I wondered, 'Martin Morales?' - although I didn't know his place was in Soho. I remember catching an episode of Sat. Kitchen when he was on. Interesting career path the man's taken.

    Was the food good?

    And I agree with Alchemilla - gorgeous pic of the different egg colours :D

    Have a great week.

    Possible easy ways to avoid/reduce S&S ISA transfer fees - sell all the funds and transfer as cash, or withdraw the money as you said. Be aware, however, that this option isn't great as you have 2+ years worth of allowance in your pot already. You and Mr MWC could both take some, but that would leave you with no room to invest for the rest of the year...

    Lovely egg picture! - I don't think I'd ever really thought about different egg colours before

    Do all the girls get on with each other?

    Generally, yes - the odd squabble but nothing major once the pecking order has been decided. Introducing new chooks to the flock can be a bit traumatic (never introduce a single hen to an established flock) but they soon settle down.

    Excellent! We went to Senor Ceviche.

    GG has fitbit challenged me so I'm off out for a walk now - I will not be beaten!

    You may have had rude words spoken in your direction earlier when I saw you were ahead :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Excellent! We went to Senor Ceviche.

    Ooooh, how fab! As I know nothing about Peruvian cuisine, I'd had a quick peek at what sort of things were on the menu at t'other place. Inspiring :D I think I'd like to learn more and see what I can incorporate into the everyday here at Greying Towers.

    You continue to inspire me with your recipes/talk of food MWC - Thank you :D


    And in 'Fitb1t' diplomacy;

    GO muddy!:T GO gally!:T....... GO gally! :TGO muddy! :T

    Hope supreme fitness is the overall winner - you both have great fun getting out and about and that you don't wear out your appliances! :rotfl:
