Nice easy days with Sue and Alan. The weather however is turning cold, last night, Saturday, it went to 0 deg and there was ice on the car window this morning, the day time temperature was around 8 deg, I even wore my gloves this morning when I went to get the papers.

Friday night the four of us went to the Belgrade Theatre here in Coventry to see a production of "We Love You City", it's a play about Coventry City winning the FA Cup in 1987. Now on the surface that sounds really exciting a play about a football match, but it turned out to be really good, it covered a whole series of social problems in the city at the time, particularly the loss of the motor industry and the resulting unemployment. The acting, staging and writing was really superb, people were encouraged to wear city gear including some who came in the shirts and hats they wore to the cup final in 1987. Altogether with the Italian meal beforehand it was a good night.

Saturday we paid our usual visit to the Hatton Farm markets. Much the same as it usually is but we still like going, in fact this time we nearly bought a dresser for the dining room, it was only after a god nights sleep we decided that it probably wouldn't fit, close call though.

Today, Sunday we visited Stratford again but this time with Sue and Alan, Jen and Matt. We walked up through the town this time and finished at the Garrick Inn, a pub that has been operating under different names since 1594 .......!
