A cheery little update

Well, today is Monday and I have been neglecting the old blog, except to wish Jeni a happy birthday, so i will recap the weekend for anyone who cares.

Friday saw the monthly 'Pay Day Fun Day' and this month, thanks to Messrs John and Dickie (2 good Belfast lads), we went to Alton Towers for the day. Fun indeed! Cars were hired and a small troupe assembled to make the way south for adventure and excitement (a little too much excitement if you were traveling in Bobby's car by all accounts). This was the last day of 'Adrenalin Week' at the Towers (guess they had to come up with some snazzy name to entice people there during the opening week and still in the chilly freshness of March) which promised few queues and much thrills. And true enough, bar a 30 min wait for a go on Rita, there wasn't much queuing to be done. Fantabulous- went on Nemesis three times in quick succession, giggling like a schoolgirl. The last time on it, though, saw most people splattered with some orange liquid, at which point somebody at the back went "ARRGH! IT'S SICK!!" and caused much panic, which was nice (wasn't really sick; it had started to rain and was just rust from the tracks).

Then, it was back home to Manchester and to John and Dickies for a drink. Or two.

Now I don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to drink until 3am when I was in work at 11 the next morning for a lovely 10 hour shift, but come that next day I was paying for it pretty severely.

Not much to say about Saturday and Sunday because I worked about 24 hours over those two days.

Not much to say that is, except

HEALY HEALY HEALY!!!

That's right, the mighty boys in green were at it again, the amazing David Healy scoring a hat-trick as Northern Ireland beat Liechtenstein 4-1 in their Euro 2008 qualifier in Vaduz. Bring on Sweden at Windsor Park on Wednesday and it'll be table topping time for the wee team in the north.

Apparently Sunday was a lovely day in Manchester, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and it was all very warm and pretty. I wouldn't know this because I spent 14 hours in work and it was dark when I got out. Oh well.

At the minute, I have to pack all my belongings because tomorrow I move house! I am leaving the might of Milverton to travel north to Salford. So that means I won't be online for a while as I will have to sort out an Internet connection in the new place. Oh, also have to find some way to transport my stuff...
