We spent an excellent weekend down in Petersfield with Mr and Mrs Blue. They have recently moved into a lovely place close to the town centre.
On the train on the way up(or is that down?) he showed off his latest gadget. The well-formed and very sexy PSP. The screen just has to be seen to be believed. While playing Ridge Racer the device attracted mucha atención. I mentioned to Blue that I quite fancied the Nintendo DS and the recent Nintendogs to which he replied “Yes, the Nintendo is a great machine…if you are a five year old”. So that put me put in my place!

On Saturday we went down to Portsmouth to Gunwharf Quays. The whole area has been regenerated and now hosts an array of shops, restaurants and a cinema. Dominating the skyline is the Spinnaker Tower. It opens Autumn 2005 and looks set to become a major attraction in the area. We relaxed in the evening with a few pints of ale from Ballards. And they were very nice indeed!
