I haven't blogged for a little while. This has been because of a combination of long working days and Sparky coming home. Yes!!!!!! He's home.........Only for the weekend though.
In the spirit of making the most of the couple of days that we have together we had a night out in Blackpool on Friday. We went to see Paul Weller at the Empress Ballroom. It was a good gig but difficult to see through the crowd at times. Maybe I'm getting old and unable to jump up and down as much as I used to but my feet were killing me at the end of it. There was a smell of cannabis which kept wafting through the crowd, and at one point I definitely smelled 'poppers.' It was a good night though.
Yesterday we had a day out in Manchester. We caught the bus and went onto the festive markets. After a Gluhwein and a Baileys coffee we went to peruse some shops. We didn't do any shopping, but managed to spy a few items of interest for when the sales start. We had a Japanese meal and some wine, my meal was a bit bland, but Sparky's was rather lively. Being somewhat inept with chopsticks, I finally had to resort to using my fork, otherwise we would have been there all night and we had tickets to the cinema.
We went to see Harry Potter in the Gallery. Well worth paying the extra money for the Gallery. Big comfy seats, free popcorn, nachos, tea and coffee. We bought a bottle of wine and took it in with us, believe me I was nissed as a pewt when we left the cinema. After one last drink in the Chophouse we caught the last bus home (the beer bus). A pizza when we landed back in Accy, then bed. It was a brilliant day but I was knackered (and drunk), I don't even remember going to sleep........but I remember laughing a lot...
I can't believe he has to go back to France tomorrow..
