Took over 5 hours to get down to Worthing/Brighton on Saturday (damn London traffic) but it was totally worth it. My friend looks lovely and round....and happy. Because she lives far from me I thought it was important to get to see her as the baby grows. I want to be part of the process of the pregnancy - even if it's just for an overnight visit a few times before the big day. 
I had my first falafal whilst there and it was ok. Bit fussy with food so I was surprised that it was so nice since it has yuck chick-peas in it. Today we had a lovely stroll along Worthing beach and luckily the rain held off for us so we could enjoy the early morning sun. Made it back today in 4 hours - yee-haa.
So, the fella came second in the 'beard-off' and I forgot to get him to shave it on friday as I was busy packing and thinking about my weekend to remember - thus he got to keep it for the weekend and show it off to my friends....who were totally disloyal and said they liked it. (Caught him looking at a picture he took of the thing and I felt a bit guilty for making him shave it off.
