What have i been doing? Well for a change I didnt have a birthday drink - might have been something to do with didnt get back from the pictures till 11pm! Okay this is what i've been up to. On Monday my cousin from northern ireland knocked on the door at 5.15 and brought me a birthday card. He was in over here on business and he knew my birthday was either the 10th or the 11th because i've spent so many of them over there. Last time i was over there for my birthday was a couple of years ago I went to a wedding on the 10th, got well and truly drunk thank god i was stopping at the hotel, 11th was my birthday and had a few drinks then as well, the 12th in Northern Ireland is a big thing over there for the protestant side anyway, had a few as well and the 13th is a big thing as well had a few then! Wasnt sober for 4 days! the 14th was spent recovering! lol Anyway back to my cousin being here the house was a tip so just chucked everything on a chair and went out for a meal up at the Duke of Wellington. He was flying back from Manchester at 9.20 he dropped me & bro & niece off at 8.10! Then Tuesday my sis, her 2 kids, and 1 of the nieces came up and we went to maccydees down accy and my eldest nephew bought me a portion of onion rings for my birthday! Isnt that sweet! My niece brought me a punnet of strawberries up which she'd picked from her garden. Her mum & dad were on hols in corfu - they came back today. Then went to the pictures to see Pirates 2. It is a good film just as good as the first one. Cant wait for the follow up seeing as it leaves you wanting to know what happens. Not going to ruin it for those who havent seen it. Special effects are brilliant. Wednesday I was at work and took round to my sisters my nephews sunglasses that he left at my house on Tues. Who, in their right mind, wears sunglasses to go to the pictures? My nephew that is! lol. Anyway walked up to Hassy from there - walking up Grane Road the sweat was rolling off me! Then Thursday night didnt go to Pool because I was going out for a meal to the Roisins. The head was leaving at the school were i am a governor and so went there instead. That was a good meal. Veg could have been cooked a bit more though. Were a bit too crunchy for me!
