Tues 1 August 2006
On the way to fighter practice at Basingstoke, we stopped at Waverley Abbey just outside of Farnham. Stopped in at the 'Sun Inn' in Bentworth for a pub dinner. When we got there, there were 7 or 8 dogs around the feet of their owners about the bar. The food was excellent.

Wed 2 August 2006
Returned hire car, and caught the bus to Cambridge to stay with Deb + Clancy. This allowed us to have a break from the stress of house and job hunting before Jen starts work.

5 year Wedding Anniversary! Deb + Clancy were really sweet to take us out to dinner in a lovely pub restaurant nearby.

Sat 5 August 2006
Went to Newmarket fighter practice (as it has been moved out of Cambridge).


We also visited the US military base where Clancy works. Came along to go grocery shopping with them, and wow, its like visiting another country. Steve found Starbuck's double-shot coffee in a Can.

Sun 6 August
Moved down to Dan + Elizabeth's - they were very gracious to let stay with them until our rental home becomes available to move into (19 Aug).

Mon 7 August 2006
Jen starts work! Have since decided they're really lovely people to work with, and the job offers amazing career prospects.

Get train to Stratford to devise a price comparison list at the local stores (10 minute walk from future home) in preparation of buying stuff for the house.
