Bindy and I caught the bus up to Sherwood Forest and wondered around there for the day, exploring Robin Hood's old hideout (though it was pretty cold, about 12 degrees). They have the Major Oak tree which is one of the oldest in England (and linked to the Robin hood story) and its branches have to be supported by poles to stop it collapsing.

We also caught the train down to Leicester to wonder round there for the day, the city centre was full of construction but there were some decent markets. Walking north of the city centre we came to an area that could have been called Little India - it was lined with Indian clothes and jewellery stores, food shops and plenty of curry houses. We had a fantastic curry buffet which had some of the best curry i've ever had (and sauces that i'd never heard of before).

It was windy and pissing down with rain yesterday so we spent most of it bumming around the flat, but we did venture out after dinner to see Michael Moore's new film Sicko, which was really interesting and shockingly funny at times - if you get the chance to see it make sure you do.

Happy birthday to Danny too and hopefully you've recovered from the party on the weekend.
