I've been home a few weeks so thought it was time I posted about my holiday in Crete.

We went on 14 October, we had a good flight 8.25am if the Thomas Cook network hadn't decided to crash, 2.1/2 hours to check in, plus 3 hours delay on top of that while all the other flights were checked in manually.  What a farce, no-one came near any of us to ( Read more... )

 Well I've had an interesting couple of days.  We have had a great year in work and to celebrate we were told we would be given the afternoon of Friday 4 July off and be taken to a local hotel for a free American themed barbeque with free food and drinks until 9.30 when we would be bussed into town to carry on celebrating.  I have been looking ( Read more... )

The old cinema in Wrexham went on fire last week, it's believed it could have been an arson attack.  This made me think how much Wrexham has changed over the years.  It's a market town but since they knocked down the Vegetable Market and moved it to a new spot, it's dyiing on its feet.  The other two permanent markets are the same ( Read more... )

I'll think about posting a report but I'm not much good so I'll post a couple of pics I took.

I go to ballroom dancing classes on a Thursday with my friend Marlene, it's fun and good exercise.  We're learning the cha cha, waltz, samba, rumba, salza, fox trot, quickstep and the jive.  I'm good at some, Marlene at others so betwen the two of us we stumble along quite well.  Unfortunately we've both got husbands with two left feet ( Read more... )

I went to see Dave Spikey on Thursday.  He is very funny, it is the second time I have seen him and I was impressed that he did a completely different show to last time.  He had no support act and stood and talked for two hours and I believe could have talked for another two.  He is not as famous as Peter Kay but I think he is just as funny and he ( Read more... )

My Borderline ticket has gone missing in the post.  I didn't even realise anyone had received theres through SeeTickets unitl I went on More than Spike.  I went to check if mine had been despatched and it was on 6 February.  I got mine for Union Chapel about a week or more ago but not the Borderline one.  I rang them up and they said that if I had ( Read more... )

I seem to be living in limbo at the moment, waiting for Wednesday night to see Captain John in all his glory and on the other hand not wanting it to come too quickly as it will be  the end of the series until we see him again and hopefully not for the last time.

I keep waiting for news of the rest of the tour because I am dying to get organising and ( Read more... )

I've done it, eventually, I've been to see PSILY.  I enjoyed it more than I thought I would and James looked absolutely fantastic on the big screen.  I got a bit fed up with the second part in Ireland (no prizes for guessing why), I thought the scene re-creating Holly and Gerry's first meeting went on far too long and got a bit boring, a bit like ( Read more... )

Here's wishing you all on my flist a very super Merry Christmas and a raucous Happy New Year.

I'm saving like mad for April and here's hoping to see all of you there.
