still a cheesy pop girl at heart! :-S
on saturday we had a woodlands night out in lufbra, well i say woodlands night out, the 'woodlands' bit has now shrunk to rew, sanj and me but never mind it was still an ace night! one of the best ive had in lufbra yet! we went to the orange tree and newshouse first where we met up with damith and ant and then due to a certain level of drunkness we ended up in echos! :-S ooooh dear! it was especially bad cos it wasnt a rock night so i was subjected to steps, sclub 7, 5ive, westlife and stuff like that! there were a few soft rock type songs that they played but it wasnt enough to turn me back into a rock chick for the night! i was stuck as a cheesy pop lovin girlie! hehe. they played all the classics: 'i would walk 500miles'.........'ymca'.......'summer of 69'.........'livin on a prayer'......'lets get ready to rhumble'.....you get the message! and it was great, ive not had a proper night out in echos, where ive not thought where the hell am i in a long long time! was well worth it!
we woke up the next day nursing hangovers! its really sad cos now im getting old (:-P) id rather stay in than go out and get drunk cos i dont want the hangover the next day! forget the night out you get with it, i dont want to be ill the next day! now, ive tried going out sober and when you end up in echos or the union you see too much! when youve had a bit to drink you only see what u wanna see, when ur sober you see it all and it aint pretty!!!! also i wake up dead early when ive been drinking, i went to bed at about 4am and then woke up at 9am and couldnt get back to sleep! grr!
mum sent me a text saying that her and dad were going to help a mate up some locks on his cannal boat 'and it would be fun if you could join us!' i agreed without thinking quite how much effort goes into opening a lock (and i dont mean a key in a door, i mean huge big gaps of water that you steer the boat into, open the paddles on the gates, let gallons of water rush in to lift/lower the boat up/down the hill to the level of water you want to be at, then push open the gates for the boat to pass through) its blimmin hard work! you can just see them below they are the black and white things in the distance. i also hadnt realised that there were 24locks at hatton! luckily there werent enough lock keys for me to have one so i just leant on the gates untill they started to open on their own and it made me look like i was doing something!!!!
HATTON LOCKSwhen we had got the boat up the flight of locks it started to rain quite heavily and hailing too so we went on the guy who dad knows' boat and had our picnic! the photo below was taken before the british weather took a turn for the worse!
THE CANNAL (not really much more to say on this!!)
by the time we'd eaten it had been raining for a few hours, id had a bit of sloe gin which tasted quite strong to me (it added to the alcohol still in my system!) and i joked about it being slippy and i was as usual wearing suitable stuff! :-S as in converse trainers that have no grip at all and my trousers that drag on the floor cos im too short! and, surprise surpirse i fell over on the way back to the car!! i had mud all down the side of me and cos my shoes were canvas they soaked up all the freezing muddy water mess and absolutely froze me!!! brr! luckily i didnt get any on the car when i sat down which was what mum and dad were worried about!! :-P and when i got home, got warmed up and had a little sleep to get rid of a bit more of the hangover!!today i didnt get up till midday and then did a bit of weaving and chillaxed and thought about my degree show which is really creeping up on me way too fast now! :-S argh!
adios for now!
