What a wonderful weekend .... It was Gordon's birthday(from Malta) and we wanted to give a Birthday surprise. I was used to concept of midnight wake up but the moths team were very tired and silenced me for an early morning 08:30 surprise. Did I say a surprise ... it was Gordon who gave one when he woke up 06:30 in the morning ..... haa haa haa. I forgot to say I did my 5 miler in the morning ... and that was a great feeling ... thats 16 miles this week in training.
Asked Sergey to take Gordon for a smoke and finally it was Happy Birthday Happy Birthday Gordon !!! 10 and we toook cabs to oxford and reached the botanical gardens for the punting stunt (I had been to oxford before with the gang ... but was amazed even after 2 yrs the route was in my head ... 2 goood :D). Sunny to start and heavy showers to middle it... it had all that anyone can ask for .... wonderful punt ... me , Rita , Sergey & Helene ... Everyone tried their hand at the punt , we rocked the boat or was it the yellow submarine ... yellow submarine.
Having proven our punting skills ... off we went to The Vault .... great suggestion from Chloe... with loads of organic options ... You know what I am now switching to organic products and sustainable products ... from next week.
Next ... Botanical garden ... plants , plants and plants ... some got bored and went shopping ... some din want to leave (Lynsey / Rita) ... me I was up for anything as I had been here before and was loving the gals taking deep interest in plants ... Lynsey she's a genius ... her knowledge on plants was great ... 3 versions of Monkey tail tree was cool. The guys bought something for their wife's ... I had mine saved for later. Cance encounter and we met the rest of the team at Christ church ... me Lynsey and Rita not into Christ church .. other went for a quick look and we went to THE BEAR ... so called Oldest Pub in England ... atleast it is the oldest in Oxford ... 13th Century is my great great great great great great great great great great great ... grandfather's time. Had loads and loads of Organic Honey Dew beer ... Gordon and rest joined in and partyyyyyyyyyyyyy .... The band of moths was formed ... with the hit single ...

Rest is loads of chit chat in the highs of 6 pints and 2 shots ... just realised that I amazed the waiter at bear when I asked him why my sausage is branded as Oxford sausage ... obviously he couldn't answer.
