Up early and got ready for the football and going out to London later. Pissing down with rain all night so it was unlikely that the match would go ahead but went along all the same
Unsurprisingly the ref turned up and it didn’t take him long to call the match off, a little disappointed but no one could complain.
Went home, had something to eat and then was out of the house by midday to meet Wayne, Kerry & the girls to drive to London – still bloody raining!!
Parked in the only place possible along the Bayswater Road (very lucky indeed!) and then wandered along Oxford St to Selfridges. Bought a couple of things and then went back to Marble Arch and into Hyde Park for the Winter Wonderland. Very busy and bloody huge! Quite nice to simply walk around the stalls and see what was happening before stopping for a coffee and then going ice skating. This was a real let down and very frustrating. The ice rink was actually 3 inches under water all the way around. Very odd, and in fact where it wasn’t water it was like corrugated iron – I think it had actually melted! Went round a few times and was worried about going over as you’d have been so soaked – it was a nightmare! My feet and legs really hurt and I had to get off – not a good sign with skiing on the horizon!
The kids just got on with it and had a good time, such a shame as it’s the biggest rink we’ve skated on in the all the years that we’ve been able to go and it was pretty shit!
Ah well, we then went for a walk around the rest of the attractions and found somewhere to eat which was a carousel, that was interesting and cool. Had a lovely lamb burger – loads of meat and really tasty. Just expensive!
Once done we walked back to the car and drove home, didn’t take too long as there wasn’t too much traffic and got settled down, prepared for the week ahead (I’m away for a couple of days in Birmingham) and then watched some TV – got distracted and still didn’t go to bed until midnight, not good!
A very enjoyable weekend all told
