Feeling Exhausted
Hearing Stargazer .. Rainbow

An excellent weekend


Have had such a good weekend and done a variety of really good fun things . Went out in Weymouth on Friday as one of the lads was leaving so we spent the night getting all cultured up before dispersing to the various bars. Myself , Lightening and the girlies ended up in a bar containing several women from London who were all of the fuller figure , clad in cowboy gear , very cultural and excellent fun . At one stage the "WeatherGirls" version of "its raining men was played and it brought back memories of the same song being played in a little taverna in Crete and a little high jinks with my good mate Paddy Mcandrew ... guitar god of manchester . As proper brit tourists we managed to get up on top of the taverna roof and as the chorus its raining men kicked in we both jumped off the roof and on to the dance floor with a bit of a splat .... hilarious at the time but probably a visual thing !!

On Saturday it was decided that walking and a day of health was the order of the day so we walked the oastal path around to Portland Bill

Caroline ... doing her best impression of Xena !! Jurrasic coastline behind . As we walked over the cliff tops we could see the fast rib boats racing through the currents

And then from no where a little face appeared at the cliff edge ... I would not be confident trying this lark !!

We walked about 5 miles in total and I would reccemend this area to any bird spotters or sea conoeists as some of the views are terrific.

Sadly the good health campaign could not last forever so it was into the "Lobster Pot" for coffee and scones before going back for a swim and a steam .

On Sunday I played cricket for the Portland Pirates at motcombe and a fantastic day it was . Pirates have never won a game before but we did today . Bit sad really as we no longer have our Holy Grail to aim for . I didnt bat in the sunglasses !! lol It was fantastic to catch up with the old gang although I did feel a bit sneaky at pointing out to our bowlers that Peteda gangsta is not keen on a fast ball whipped in at his toes whilst the best field to catch the brushmeister is a strong leg side one !! Hell we needed the win more than they did . I was actually dismissed by ny good friend the waggy boy ... see Bye Bye Birseye for details. I had four options ... 1) Tell the world he threw sand in my face and I was blinded as he bowled . 2) I felt sorry for the sickly kid with brittle bones 3) I was paid and did it on purpose ... sadly 4) and the truth The waggy boy got the better of me .. I missed and he hit !!  (the shit !!)

I had a beer with the lads and came home early to Portland . As it is only 00.15 at the moment I bet my fellow pirates are still in some hostel somewhere in Dorset ,

Happy days

Shaun
