Welcome to Michael and Gwens Blog

Today we are going on our holidays to Cyprus.
We are really looking forward to it.
We will be doing a regular blog on our site below if you are interested.
Have a great day!

We went to a 21st birthday party last night. We have decided that alcohol and middle age just don't mix!
When we were young, hangovers were what happened to other people. This morning we are paying for our excess!
Pixel was really excited to see us in the early hours when we returned from the party. He wanted to play but had no chance whatsoever!
Three weeks today we fly to Cyprus for our holidays. We are looking forward to the sunshine, food and drink! Connor is getting really excited because he loves the beach.
We have relatives who live in Cyprus and fortunately, we will have the use of a car when we visit.

Today is the final game of the season for Blackpool FC.
People always ask me why I support such a team and why on earth I have a season ticket!
My answer is always "I was brainwashed by my late father as a child". I remember the getting out of bed at some unearthly hour and dad taking me to London on the coach to watch Blackpool play West Ham. (we lost!) The round trip of around 500 miles was pretty ardous for a young teenager. But I still to this day, continue to torture myself and go and watch them.

Today we have a home game against Watford. We need a draw at least to stay in the division and I have an awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. However I intend taking the camera and snap a few pics. If they are good enough, I will post them later. If we win I will post them anyway! If we lose you may never hear from me again!

PHEW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We scraped a draw and remain in the division so we are all happy happy happy !!!!!!!!!!!

Today when taking Pixel for a walk. We came accross a band recording a music video. We have no idea who they were but we think they were German.
Much to the annoyance of the director, Pixel started barking halfway through. (Note scowling man in red shirt!) We laughed and made a hasty exit.
We have added some more pictures to the Ship folder if you are not sick of hearing about it!
The ship is to be broke up for scrap soon which is a pity. But I suppose it's worth a fortune.
The ship is going through the process of having the cargo removed at the moment. This includes trucks and cars.
Incidentally, no one was hurt when the ship beached. Everyone was evacuated safely. It was hit by a freak wave in the Irish sea and the engines were flooded apparently!

Just a quick update.
