I had the most fun day at work today. After our quarterly meeting we had a chilli / chowder throwdown, which involved tasting about 20 different chillis and chowders all made by my colleagues in the Marketing department.
It was deeeee-licious. For $5 I got as much food as my taste-buds could cope with. A couple of the chowders had a real kick to them. I hadn't realised chowder could be so good - especially when it had lobster and freshly shucked corn in it, with just a hint of cayenne.
After the prize-giving - a very nicely mounted ladle - it was back to work for a very interesting meeting with another Knowledge Manager.
Didn't get much work done in the afternoon after that, I was actually completely shattered. Fell asleep on the settee under a pile of duvets at one point, then was woken up for dinner.
Still have the wonderful Tanners here, who have been looking after the children, doing the shopping, cooking meals, and doing the laundry. I'm not sure they'd describe it as a holiday but we're enjoying having them here, and not just for their housekeeping services!
Mike has been away most of the week opening a Hampton Inn in Nashua NH. It was signed off this afternoon, so he was pretty delighted with himself. We all had a bit of bubbly with dinner. He now has two successful hotel openings under his belt. All we need now is a few more projects for him to throw himself into. Could someone please ease the credit markets now please?
Wed - had dinner at the Inn by the Sea, then mum and Mike stayed the night there. Had the most wonderful scallops.
