Summer Fun

Hi everyone, I'm back. Many apologies for not posting for over a month, it's not like there's been a whole lot of stuff going on, just that I couldn't be bothered. It felt sooo strange to do nowt after finishing the exams and in the relaxing, I became lazy and did bugger all. I could definitely get used to this lifestyle, which is quite worrying. Anyhoo...

Firstly john temple's party on the saturday after my last post (back in the age of dinosaurs) I arrived late and tired as usual because of work (what's with having parties on a saturday anyway? They could be any day of the week!) and the party was Ok. Not wonderful. A bit dull really. Didn't dance much because Stacey was there and she was pointing and laughing which made me feel like a berk . Ok so she's stating the obvious but normally I don't mind if others are saying it. Was nice to see the friends and they seemed to be having fun. Left early.

The next morning was up early with the family for a walk in the Cheviots. Alex is uniquely irritating and when he and his twin Tom sit together in the car they inevitably end up play fighting which is annoying. It was such a lovely day and we explored a new path and walked right up to the scottish border. Tom peed from england into scotland. Also tom and I took a dip in a waterfall plunge pool, which was freezing! We went back the next weekend and did another walk, which was also enjoyable.

During the week, the parents and brothers were away at work and school so all was quite. Did a whole lot of nothing. Apart from some cleaning. Hehe. Saw a lot of stacey on a couple of dates but nothing of anyone else. The exception was the Wednesday when I visited Susanne's for an evening BBQ, despite the fact that there was a light drizzle. An excellent evening with plenty of cheap sausages and burgers, and a fair few bevvies. Was nice to have a laugh with everyone. Spent most of the evening watching TV and talking music with Jeff. Tomo was there too.

Can't remember much else happening that week. Or the next week apart from a lovely walk along the seafront with stacey on a sunny evening. Stacey told me photographers call it 'magic hour' because of how the light shows everything, with a slight shadow. It was beautiful and the tide was low, so we walked for ages on the sand and watched the sun set. :) It was lovely sitting on a bench in the warm air with my arms around Stacey as the light faded. It was beautiful.

Oh yeah, went with the OWA to Silverlink and saw Star Wars. Thank heavens for you OWA, someone else who doesn't see films as soon as they come out. Also watched naruto with robin wich was better than I was expecting, because I don't normally like anime.

Went on a day trip to York with Stacey on yet another roasting day. Sound's an unusual thing to do but we had a good day out doing the touristy things. Stacey was impressed by the Minster. Went on a boat trip down the river and near the end of a trip, a bloke proposed to his girlfriend. We both went awwwww. Then Stacey made jokes about us being next. NO! I'm too young! She WAS kidding. I just think that at our age, getting engaged isn't serious. I know loads of people who have got engaged but most have broken it off quickly and I've certainly never attended any weddings! For example, a young lady I know recently got engaged to her boyfriend after dating him for 6 months. This is all very well, but when asked when the wedding was, she said "oh 2010 or 2011". What's the point????? I'm not against marriage, but it has to be taken seriously!

Where was I? Oh yes the family finished at school and work just over a week ago. I wasn't bored anymore, but I also like my solitude as well. Oh well I've been at work most of the time. Nice easy money at the moment :)

Headed down to Howden for the day one Sunday to visit my Grandma's twin sister (twins run in the family) Auntie Moo (Muriel if you're wondering) who was celebrating her 80th birthday. Was lovely to see her for the first time in 3 years and she is as fit as ever. My grandma has been dead nearly 11 years now and the meal did feel a bit sad, as it would have been Grandma's 80th as well. Moo has an evil sense of humour and seemed very pleased to see everyone. I do miss my Gran a lot and loved her dearly, and it was nice to see Moo because even though they were very different in some ways, Moo does remind me of Grandma.

And finally to Croweman's party on saturday (grrr) which was a much better affair than Temple's. Stayed sober and instead got high on erm, high spirits. Did a duet dance with Steven Hadlow who has some hilarious moves. Also did a 'romantic' dance with Temple's Mum during 'You're Beautiful' much to everyone else's amusement.

Spent most of today in the garden digging up the lavender hedge, Thank goodness the foul weather cleared up. Mum is already starting to pack for Friday, when the rest of my family go to Menorca for a fortnight. I have my own plans for that fortnight. I'm spending one week in London and another with my uncle in Warwickshire, where I can explore the area with the car :) I'm quite excited about striding out by myself. Bought my train tickets for London the other day. I hope I don't get blown up when I'm down there. Of course I'm not really scared of terrorist attacks and I will be using the underground. Was very unnerving to see such attacks happening in this country though. Brought back memories of seeing the 9/11 clips on the day it happened, which was shocking enough.

Anyways, enough waffling. I shall try not to leave this for so long again, but I'm not promising anything! Byeeeee!
