First off, the snow. I was actually quite suprised at just how much snow fell over the two days it was around, although I wasn't the least but suprised that Britain pretty much ground to a halt along the roads and trains. Why is it that the slightest amount of bad weather can completely destroy the transport system... I half imagine all the trains and buses exploding under direct sunlight...
Anyway, this weekend I was visited by a good friend of mine called Neil from over in Lancashire (where I come from), and we went out into Leeds to meet up with another good friend of mine named Tom, who now lives with his wife Ally over there. Unfortunately neither Stephen (another friend in Lanacshire) nor Ally could make it due to various circumstances, but it was all good.
Tom actually living in Leeds(ish) knew it a bit better than myself (having only lived nearby and visited the centre), so he knew a of a restaurant for us to try called Tampopo. Strangely, it isn't like a "normal" restaurant with one style of food, but it covers many eastern styles (such as Japanese, Vietanmese, Malyasian, and so on). Even so, I have to admit it was some of the best food i've had in a long time. I throughly recommend you try it if you have one nearby, although there's only four in the country! :P
After that it was a case of catching up and grabbing a few drinks, including visiting Cafe FAB, a great place I remembered from years ago, which has old arcades, table football, a life-sized Dalek, and of course, beer! What was suprising to me was that it hadn't changed in about four or five years. It was identical to how I remember it...
Now however, the weekend is over. It's back to work tomorrow... oh joy...
