General Update

Been busy with the family.

Quick recap of things we've done

Went to Brighton for Katie's birthday. It was a surprise and we'd hired a minibus to take us down there. Very nice bus and even though we hit bad traffic it was still a great day. Sat on the beach drinking and eating. Some of them went on the zip wire and we had a game of cricket which was a laugh. Actually it was rounders. On the way home we decided to go out and ended up at Raouls with Charlotte, Miles and Lewis. That was good fun

We then had centre Parcs in Woburn for Sue's birthday. Great weekend.

I played football the other day in an over 50's tournament that was hard work. It was incredibly hot and we didn't have enough players and I had an appalling hangover. True to form for Sunday football I was sick in the bushes after the first game. Absolutely hanging

It was good and we made it to the final where the Welsh beat us a second time. I could barely walk!! Enjoyed it all the same.

Centre Parcs Sunday

Up at around 8.45am without a hangover so nice bonus!! All round to Sue's for breakfast, had a big fry-up. No hurry to do anything as our hooking for an activity was at 4.00pm

So we pottered around and then went for a walk to the Jardin de Sports and had a drink there. Cycling down the massive hill was a laugh and it was pleasant

We then went to the centre shops and did some shopping before people went their separate ways. Jack and I went to the car and found my camera at last and the cycled round exploring. 

Tash needed up home at 2.00pm as she didn't have any keys so we did that, watched some TV and I then got ready and went to the JDS again but this time on the train. 

We then had out table tennis tournament and it was good fun. Jess and I were teamed together and we did well, a couple of exciting games and we made it to the final against Jack and twice we were at a tiebreak but we couldn't quite finish him off and he triumphed. 

Everyone seemed to enjoy that and we then went for a pint in the Spirts cafe. After that we stopped at the park and there was a strange apparatus that enables you to go upside down that was brilliant. We were stupid!!

Got to the swimming pool and we'd timed it so it was dark now and had a few goes down the Rapids. All good silly fun. 

Didn't stay much longer than an hour or so and then got the train home. Had a 10 mins snooze and then round to Niks for dinner. Pulled pork, pulled pork as the chant went...

Everyone was absolutely shattered so it was a quiet night but it was still really pleasant and we had a laugh. A few rounds of pieface were played but no one was really up for it so it didn't last too long

Had a coffee and came home and in bed writing this by 11.30pm

A lovely day with a lovely family. We all get along so well.
