Sushi, sushi, you think this is about sushi?
My latest blog entry has been written as a tribute to our great friends Jon and Nick who entertained us wonderfully over the weekend. We had a lovely time, visiting the Science Museum on Saturday when we took Isaac on the London underground for the first time (not that he looks excited by it).
On Saturday evening however, Heidi and I experienced sushi for the very first time. What great fun. Nick and Jon assembled all the various bits and pieces and away we went, spreading rice over seaweed, laying salmon and vegetables delicately on top before rolling it all up with the sushi mat. Once we cut the strip up it looked great and thankfully it tasted great as well.
Incidentally, just in case you think I’ve gone completely bonkers, the title of this latest blog entry will go over your head unless you’ve seen the film Monsters Inc.
Despite Heidi’s look of horror she enjoyed the sushi feast immensely whereas the artistry in making the food was just as exciting. It was just like playing the Generation Game.
On Sunday we had another enjoyable, and thankfully a more relaxing day when we went for a walk around Forty Hall in Enfield. Nick and Isaac took it easy most of the way as you can see.
It was the first time that we had seen Nick and Jon’s new flat which they moved into when they got married in April. It is a lovely welcoming home. Nick is Isaac’s Godmother however Jon was barely on the scene when Isaac was born. Nevertheless, having had sufficient time to vet Jon’s character and worthiness for the job, Heidi and I decided that we would be honoured if Jon would be Isaac’s Godfather; a task that Jon duly accepted. We know that Isaac is in very good (and strong by the looks of it) hands with Jon and Nick praying regularly for him (and contributing towards his trust fund, a side issue that we forgot to mention at the weekend).
Heidi, Isaac and I had just spent the previous few days in Ross on Wye, staying at Nick’s parents house. They kindly offered us their home whilst they went to somewhere more exotic. We had some lovely days in the Forest of Dean, cycling one day and going for a wonderful walk following a sculpture trail. If you fancy having a look at the trail then click on the link below which has pictures of most of the sculptures.

Isaac rode on the back of my bike in his own seat for the first time. He loved it. What a cool dude.
Well that’s just about it for this blog entry, after all I only have 9 days to go before my exam. Trust me I have been revising since I last wrote to you.

Wow that sure is some strange food!
I used to go to Forty Hall when I was a kid! Do you remember going over there Heidi, I’m sure you came with us at least once!
