The day after the Night in Liverpool

Our Old House

Was awake at 7:30 even though I’d only got to sleep at about 3am. Still managed to doze on and off until about 10am when I heard movement downstairs. We had breakfast, a quick tidy up, then a quick game of Tiger Woods ‘08 before I left. Saz and Phil headed for B&Q while I decided to take an impromptu 2 hour detour from driving home by driving cross-country to North Lincs to see my Nan. I didn’t know if she’d be in, or if it would be convenient to “drop-in”, but meh, what the heck.

My Old HouseI also stopped off at Woolston, Warrington to see our old house; it’s been 20 years and 1 month since we moved out, and the area still looks quite nice :o) Couldn’t find the primary school though, though I did find and remember the bus shelter where I’m convinced someone was going to try and kidnap me as a child!

I left Nan’s at 6pm, but with traffic jams clogging up the M1 due to sheer weight of traffic (where did they all come from on a Sunday night?!, I didn’t get home until 23:00. By the time I’ve done the bits on the computer, got my stuff ready for this week, gone to bed and woken up again, I’ll have had about 4 hours sleep. Oh well, should make the badminton interesting…

Night time in Liverpool

Yesterday I drove up to Liverpool, taking about 4 hours. Not too bad, and it could have been a lot worse. Spent the evening doing Singstar on the PS2. Basically karaoke, but actually quite fun!

After a good night’s sleep, we got up, had bacon butties, played some Tiger Woods 2008 on the Wii, then went to watch the Marine game. Result, as they win 3-0, although the ref tried his best to disrupt the game with a few dodgy bookings. Drinks in the bar afterwards watching the England game, who strangely also win 3-0 against Estonia.

New people I met:

  • Sarah Davies (Phil’s missus - fairly quiet girl with a lovely personality)
  • friendly Tom (Funny and easy going, until the alcohol kicked in),
  • quiet Tom, Dave & Jane, Dave and Liz, Kate and Ste (Didn’t really speak to).

Also re-met:

  • Phil (The Birthday Boy, and general Scouse Git)
  • Bob Jones (Phil’s dad - likes and knows his history, a nice guy)
  • Trev (Hungover on this occasion, late for the match and needs a haircut ;o) )
  • Mark (Bruises from his fight with the pavement healing nicely - he’s a good lad)
  • Bong (Quiet member of the group, and likes to be thrashed at the Wii Tennis).

Saturday, we didn’t get to the KH unfortunately, but spent the night at Sarah’s (& Phil’s) instead. A good night, with games, more singing, lots of drinking, arguing, crying, stories, sports and some more drinking.

Tomorrow will be waking up, recovering and driving home. Back to work on Monday, with a badminton match in the evening.
