Looking Forward To Hols!!!

Well it’s that time of year again! Our holiday is just over a week away & as before time has stopped still! I bet when we are away it will do its usual thing & speed up to superspeed. The weather here has been surprisingly warm making work on the holiday park a bit uncomfortable – especially when I’m doing the strimming! With all the protection & clothing I’m actually shedding excess pounds albeit a bit at a time!

Switching to football for a moment if I may (oh goody I hear you cry!), we have triumphed in the Algarve Cup!! A 2-1 win against one of the Portuguese sides and a 1-0 win over Celtic has given us a great morale boost pre-season. The first league game is against Southampton but we’ll be away!! Oh well, that’s what Internet Cafes were invented for, isn’t it? :)

Anyhoos, chow for now – until next time….

It’s Been A While…

Well, it’s been a while since my last post. Many things have happened – far too many to go into detail. There have been bad moments – Nan died, my aunt got hit by a car, my cat was put down because his tumours returned. But there have also been positive moments. My daughter is very close to swimming on her own (she can swim with one arm band now!!), she’s getting very good on her bike (soon to be rid of the stabilisers!), the holiday park has had no major emergencies (that’s jinxed it now!!).

Well our stadium is well and truly on the way. You can check out the progress at http://www.cardiffcitystadium.co.uk/ and see up to date pictures. It’s a very exciting time as we’re about to begin our last year at Ninian Park. So many memories of the ground from my first match at 15 when we lost 3-1 to Tranmere, right up to my surprise birthday package from Manda a few years ago which included tickets to the game (which we ran away with!!!). Who says living in Cornwall you can’t follow the Bluebirds??!!!

Anyway, I’ve bored you all enough now. Cuppa tea awaits – boy do I sure know how to live!
