Ed, Chris and Me
Out drinking on a Monday night, very naughty Well hello there
Not been on here all week becuase to be honest I haven't done much but run around and see family, plus I'm actually not very well at the moment, picked up a bad cold so have been blowing my nose none stop and have a sore throat and chesty cough, welcome to england....haha.
So my last update was on Monday when me and Ed went to Beeston Castle so here is a brief run down on what I have been doing since then.
Monday Night After Beeston Castle Ed and I decided to go to the pub so my friend Chris collected us from home and we went up to a pub called The Varsity, its a nice place, not so much local pub-ish but more student pub. We stayed there until they kicked us out and then went to another more local pub round the corner to have more drinks. Then came the shots and as they say the rest is history...hehe. I would be ashamed to own up to how much we drank for a Monday night but we were on holiday so who cares. There was this unbelievable guy playing the piano
Sleepy Sleepy
Fast asleep in the back of the car on the way home there that would play any song you shouted out....of the top of his head he would know the music, the words....it was crazy!! Then we went home, see pic of drunken Ed having a snooze in the back of the car, dont know how he was doing that as we had the 80's music on full wack in the car and I was singing as loud as possible, I'm sure I could hear the cats calling.....hehe.
Tuesday After recovering a little from a hangover Ed and I went into Manchester City Centre so Ed could have a look, had some lunch and looked at the shops and before we knew it, it was time for Ed to catch his train to go stay with his cousin and see the rest of his family.
Tues night I went and stayed at my sister Sam's for the night, was a relaxed night in front of the TV, which after about 4 days of none stop drinking I needed.
Wednesday I woke up and lazed around my sisters house as she was at work and then packed up and headed into Bolton town to meet my Mum, Dad
Mr & Mrs Harwood
Si and Em out for dinner and sister Sam who was finishing early to spend the afternoon together. We decided to go to a nice pub names The Wilton for late lunch and sat there for a few hours watching the rain outside over the hills, we had a good gigle. After that we went to my Sam's for a cuppa and then headed back home.
Wed night I went up to my sister Tam's with Mum for a relax and to eat yummy unhealthy things, ahh well!!
Thursday I got up and went into town to do some bits and pieces and then went to meet my mum and Aunty Joan at the pub.......wait a minute, reading this blog it appears I spend a lot of time in the Pub.....hmmm!! I hadn't seen my Aunty in years so it was nice to catch up and hear all the news on my cousins who I haven't managed to see while here. We had a good chat about Men and how much of a pain they can be....hehe.
Thurs night after dinner it was off to my other aunty, Aunty June's house in Blackburn to catch up with her and some of my cousins for a chat and drink. So I'd had a day full of family and it was nice to catch up with everyone, still a few that I couldn't catch up with but when you have a big family and only a few weeks its just not possible.
Friday Not feeling all that great today, starting to get very bunged up and cheesty. My friend John brought me over some Breakfast and then I got ready and we headed up to Blackpool, the cheesy/tacky capital of the North. I must say actually that it was a lot cleaner than I remember it and it looks like they are really trying to clean the place up. We didn't go to the amusement park or go on any rides, I could just about breath let alone anything that required energy..hehe. So we went and played the silly gambling machines with all our change, you could easily get addicted to places like that.
Kat - tell Patrick that unbelievably I couldn't find a kiss me quick hat but I have bought him some blackpool rock.....hehe
It started to rain so we decided to head home. That night I sat at home with my Mum and Dad and watched a DVD with a few glasses of wine......rest!!
Saturday So this is yesterday, had to be up early to return my hire car, like loosing an arm!! Mum and I went and hit some more shops, I'm slightly worried about how I am going to get all this stuff back to Perth but where there is a will there is a way 😞. The rest of the day we stayed at home and watched movies while I blowed my nose felt sorry for myself...hehe. I was meant to be going out in Manchester on Sat night but I just wasn't fit enough for that so I met my best friend Em and her hubby Si for dinner at a great Spanish Tapas bar in town named La Tasca, has got to be my favourite place, they really need to open a Tapas place in Perth! Then we went back to their house to chill out.
Sunday Today and so far not much to report, I got up a few hours ago and jumped on here. Not much planned for today, the family are all going to the Carvery at about 4pm for a yummy roast dinner and then I suppose I will start to pack my things as I fly out tomorrow.
Can't believe that it has gone so fast. I arrive back in Perth at the stupid time of 12.30am on Tuesday/Wednesday....Mon I'll do my best to not wake you 😊
