Well, I think i have finally caught up and i am now up to date with all my news. So i hope you enjoyed reading about my holiday and continue to enjoy reading about me, my past, present and future.

Well apart from the weather which has been wet and dreary again and work which has been aaaaaaaaaaaaagh get me out a here, i have had a fairly quiet but nice week. On Tuesday i had an appointment in the city centre so after that i had a browse around some of the shops. I went into one of my favourite shops, Jane Norman, they still had a massive sale on and picked up some bargains. I was well pleased, i got a gorgeous baby doll top, pedal pusher jeans and shorts all for £24 !!!! All ready to go for my next holiday

On Wednesday i went hairdressing to my old lady friends, it does not take me long, a quick blow dry and set. but i am always there for a couple of hours as she makes my dinner, usually fish and potato croquettes and we have a chat and gripe about day to day events.

My brother telephoned me to see was i doing any thing on Friday, they were coming to take pictures, i did not know what that was about i thought maybe he had a new project to do. and then go for a Chinese buffett.
On Thursday i had a quiet afternoon at home, sometimes it is nice to just come home from work and do nothing and go nowhere.

Yesterday i came home after work to change and get ready to meet my brother David and his girlfriend Sarah. I met them at the Albert Dock just after four o clock, we had a coffee then went around the dock so that David could take pictures. He had bought a new professional camera, this is his new hobby. Afterwards we went to Yums for our Chinese buffett, it was very nice but i was disappointed that the prawns were too peppery for me to eat, my tongue was on fire, David said they did that so i would not eat them all They gave me my birthday present, well half of it, the other half is a photograph David has taken and had printed, they got a frame but it was too small so they are going to get another, so i look forward to seeing that. We left about seven o clock because they had to go somewhere else, but he would not tell me where hmmmm the cheek of him I got home about eight o clock and then just chilled with a vodka and watched some tv

Last weekend i went to my friend Elaines, she lives with her family in Widnes. I have not seen her in over twelve months, because of work being done on the house, though we talk on the telephone and text each other. Her and her husband Jerry came to pick me up about 5:30pm.

Elaine had got a box of rose wine for us and we shared a takeaway supper of spanish omelette and chicken fried rice. Yes i know, strange combination. We drank the box of wine and opened a bottle of wine, but it was now about 1am and i was so tired i was finding it difficult to stay awake, so we called it a night.

I woke early the next morning, but i did not get up right away. It was about 10:30 when i did. We had bacon and egg on barm cakes, but it was too much and i could not eat it all. It had rained in the morning then went nice in the afternoon so we sat outside for a couple of hours, then they took me home about five o clock.

On Monday i was very tired after getting home late the night before and then having to get up early for work. It was a nice day so when i got home i sat outside for a couple of hours, i tried to read but i was too tired so i had a snooze instead.

On Tuesday i met my friend Lynn after work, she took me to the Brittannia for something to eat, she had a Combo  Feast  and i had a Meditterranean platter. I would not have that again, it was not as tasty as i thought it would be. But it was nice seeing my friend again and catching up on our news.
On Wednesday i met my friend Anne after work, it was her birthday on the Monday and she thought it was mine, but mine is not until the 22nd. It was a nice day again so we bought a bottle of vodka and some coke and went back to my flat. I made us Aberdeen Angus Burgers, very tasty and then we went and sat outside. It was a lovely afternoon and we caught up on all our news. It was so nice we stayed out until seven o clock, we were even visited by a tiny bird, it was so tame and trusting to come so close to us.

I put a pizza in the oven and we finished the vodka, Anne ended up staying, it was too late to go home. Then it was midnight before we knew it and time for bed, otherwise we would have been up all night talking. Only problem was having to get up for work the next day.

On Saturday i went to my friends, a few of us were going to her dads caravan. We got there about six o clock, we took some drinks and made some sandwiches, the others arrived a bit later. We had a few drinks while getting ready then went to the on site club. There was a female singer on and they had a disco afterwards, so we had a good dance and really enjoyed the night. We all went back to the caravan and had some more drinks, i think it was about four in the morning when we finally got to bed.

The sun was shining when we got up on Sunday it was very hot, we sat out for a while to enjoy it and made plans to go to Southport for our dinner. My friend had had a few drinks, too many i think, she was repeating herself and i got tired of hearing her waffle on about her son and her friends daughter. It was good they were getting on but how many times and how many digs i had to put up with every time they held hands or kissed was beyond me, i was so bored and fed up with it all.

We went for a chinese for our dinner, but i did not enjoy the food, the cooing over the love birds and because my friend had had a lot to drink she was going on and on repeating herself and getting very loud and her language was choice so i felt embarrassed. When we left the restaurant i had to put up with the cooing again, i was so aaaaaaagh get me out of here, i do not want to look every time someone is kissing, blurrrrrah.
We left about six o clock and went back to the caravan, i was glad when they all fell asleep, i was very tired too but battled to stay awake. My friends son drove us all home, it was about one o clock when i got home and i could not wait to get into bed.

My first two weeks back at work were awful i was so tired.

I did not go out on the Saturday either, the mad woman was out, so i went out with my other friend on the Sunday instead. We had a good afternoon and night out. My only problem was getting up for work the next morning.

On Thursday and Friday i spent the days recovering from the jet lag i was very tired. On Saturday i met my friends for a night out. There was six of us, two i had not met before, they were very nice but i did not really enjoy the night. All night it was where is so and so and where is so and so, damn did my head in, then the other one took off like a banshee. So i said would not be going out again in that ones company.

Sunday was wind down and get ready for work

I was awake fairly early so after breakfast i went to the beach for the last time, i had an hour and a half then went to shower and get ready. Pick up was 12:15, i had enough time to get a snack to keep me going. The coach arrived on time, and check in at the airport went smoothly and the flight was on time. Unfortunately it was the flight from hell, because of screaming and crying kids i got very little sleep, when we touched down i could not get off quick enough. We arrived at Manchester about 6:30am and my pick up from the airport was waiting when i came through. I arrived home about 8am and considering i had not had much sleep i did not feel too bad at first

It was a nice day  and i thought i would get all my washing done and hung out to dry, i got the first load in and then it hit me, the need for sleep and i had to go to bed. I slept for a couple of hours and when i woke i thought i have to try and adapt back to UK time.

I spent all day on the beach, Antonio did not come, i did not know if it was because of the misunderstanding, lack of funds or too much to drink again. But i have since learnt that he went to the airport to try and see me before i left.

Lunch was a very nice barbeque served outside. I felt very sad but i made the most of and enjoyed my last day on the beach and in the ocean. I went and did most of my packing before dinner, i hate packing to go home, but i did not want to be rushing in the morning.

Dinner was also a barbeque served outside, i had chicken and prawns and potatoes in garlic, i do not know why but there was no chicken only bone so i was glad of the prawns and had some turkey which was nice. I had a few cocktails  and enjoyed my last night then went to bed for a good sleep.

After breakfast i went to the beach, Antonio arrived just after twelve. We stayed there chatting and i learnt from him some of what it is like to live in Cuba. I went to the retaurant and brought us some lunch and drinks, we stayed there again until dinner time. Then i went and showered and changed and brought some dinner out for us. Again we chatted all night and drank too much but it was all good. Antonio got chatting to a Cuban family so the chauffeur was able to take him back to Holguin.

I went to the beach after breakfast, Antonio was supposed to come but i did not see him. I was sunbathing when a young girl began waving to me, this went on for a while, then there was three of them. Later i went to cool off in the water, the three children came to talk and play, but we could not understand each other, but they were very sweet and the afternoon passed nicely.

I went to shower and change for dinner, the telephone rang but i missed it, because i was in the shower i did not hear it in time. Then i remembered Antonio had asked for my room number, i forgot he said that he would call, anyway i called back a bit later. He was sorry he did not come but he was too ill from all the drinking, his head hurt too much. He wanted me to go to Holguin the next day but i said no, it was too expensive in a taxi, so i said for him to come to me. He said that if he did not telephone in the morning he would come.

After dinner i went to watch the fashion show, it was very interesting and i was enjoying the different sequences except for a bunch of kids let loose to holler and scream until the mother took the hint and shut them up.

After the show i went and had a few cocktails before returning to my room.
