Gareth arrived back in Madrid last night. Gareth is a Welsh chap who we worked with before he left for Australia back in December. He’s back in Europe for a couple of weddings and is paying his work colleagues and friends a visit this weekend.

A group of us last night went out for a wonderful steak in Cebon, a restaurant that Philippe & Jon have raved on about for ages that until last night I’d yet to sample the goodness. The place certainly lived up to its reputation producing large succulent steaks that we were able to cook to our taste on the hot plate provided. This was followed up by a few beers in Chill Bill.

A nice gentle introduction to what will undoubtedly be a heavy weekend as Gareth is capable of putting away far too many Mahous. Tonight we’re off to watch the England game, followed by the standard curry at the Taj tomorrow. In fact the weekend has already been planned out by Philippe. See his blog for details, although those of you that don’t know Gareth will miss the humor.
