A Woolly Birthday...... not mine!

, ,

Man, it's taken 3-days for me to start feeling somewhere close to normal again :cheers: I can still drink like a fish but I can't cope with the screaming hangovers anymore. Anyway, the weekend was a cracking one ..... even if I did drink far too much. The Friday started the weekend off to a messy start, with the drinking starting as soon as I arrived at the bar (about 5pm) and continuing until way past midnight. Saturday morning arrived far too early and after Lisa opened a few of her prezzies I hit the beach, drank a few coffees/cokes at Eyeball and then went for a surf ....... salt induced chundering almost followed :yuck:
Soon, it was time to hit the bar again (all dressed as Grease drop-outs), then another bar ....... and another ...... and then a club. I staggered back to the cabin by about 3am :faint:

A brilliant weekend but I wish I had some money left for the rest of the month.

Goodrich Castle

,



Makes it look as though I'm a bit of a castle nerd at the moment but I promise that the last two castles I've seen are in fact the only castles I've visited in the last 20yrs ....... it just happens that they've both been in a matter of weeks:whistle:
Anyway, it was a great weekend with Canadian Mike, Nick and Jen ....... a spot of walking, a few beers and far too much food - although the Chinese meal on the Saturday night was great:cheers:

This weekend, it's back to Devon for a spot of surfing ..... I'll try to ignore the -3'C temperatues we're experiencing at the moment penguin

One more day ............

,

Yay, one more day and then it's a week off for me (apart from a bucket load of marking I need to do and having to paint the ceiling etc at home). The week will start well, as we're off to meet friends in Ross-on-Wye for a bit of fresh air and beer drinking ....... Mmmmmm, beer :cheers:

This week has been a real struggle. Some personal stuff and the fact that work has been far too manic for my liking - exam marking audit :yikes:

Also, I some how have managed to upset one of the guys in my surf club (the guy who runs the store/website) that we use for the club messageboard etc by adding a page/link to the site and club on facebook ....... not 100% sure what rocked the boat but he wasn't happy and I got promptly told off:cry:

Anyway, I'm now just looking forward to the day ending and going home for the week!

Oh yeh, some one has to move the Cadbury Multi-pack of chocolates away from me. They were for my class, but there was just under half a pack left (after passing some out this morning) and now I'm munching through them!

Here's to the weekend :drunk:

A brilliant weekend at Harlech (Castle) and Portmeirion

,

We charged across the river for a sneaky (slightly posh hotel) weekend away :D During the 4hr drive over, we did get a tad excited when the snow started to come down but come the morning the sun was out and there wasn't a sign of the previous nights downfall. In fact, the weather for the 2-days was pretty good ...... sunshine (for some of the time) but it was bloody cold - especially on top of the castle :eek:

Harlech castle was brillaint but Portmeirion was a little forced and unreal ..... although a fun afternoon :up:

A lamb nursery ..... stopped to take a pic on the way back home cow

Palladium and Alpha Beat ...... and a Chinese Meal!

, ,

Considering I don't go out during the week (hate having to go into work with a hand-over or lack of sleep), I've been out twice this week already. Monday night was to another gig and as Lisa was driving I was able to grab a pint or two :beer: ...... Palladium were brilliant and in a very cheesy way, Alpha Beat were cracking :hat:

Today was a really crappy day at school :bomb: (damn parents) but I'm focusing on heading to Wales and Portmeirion on Friday for the weekend ...... trying to ignore the fact the weather is turning a bit nasty, driving over will take 4hrs+ and the is the chance that the snow could close in :eyes: I'll have to ensure I put some warm kit in the car just incase we get stuck enroute :star: Still, even with poor weather, there is always the bar to stay warm in :cheers:
