Happy Valentines day to you all

I got this lovely Valentine's card this morning from my Fred. I DO hope you can read the lovely verse he put on the envelope, it really touched my heart.

I won't even begin to show you what was written inside the card...

I would refer you to the poem I wrote for you all LAST YEAR and admit I haven't yet written a valentine poem this year - perhaps I will be able to write one today if I get time to break wind...

In the mean time read the above poem from last year - perhaps you could write FREDORDEAD a valentine poem and add it below?

Go on then!!!

Here is Cazza's poem from last year to inspire you...

Is it me?

I came across this old picture of ME.

I thought some newer viewers might be interested and puzzled all at the same time

Blimey!

Our Day Out

We had a lovely day out on Monday didn't we Fred? Yes we did.

Shall I tell you about it. Oh all right then. I don't want to bang on too long but here goes.

Susie the Floozie, Richard, Fred and I all went on a lovely Bank Holiday Monday day out to Newcastle stopping off at KFC and then Tyrella Beach on the way.

The beach turned out to be £2.50 which was a shock to us as we believed this area of "outstanding natural beauty" in the world to be something which was one of God's creations for us all to enjoy. Still I suppose, there is a cost for it to be cleaned and maintained. But wait. Is that not what I pay tax and rates through the nose for?? Apart from anything else, beautiful as it was, it was not a patch on some of the gorgeous coves and bays we saw in Northern Majorca and we were charged nothing to go there... Something for the NI tourist board to think about...

This uncomfortable seated-back-pocket-change-hoaking incident aside, we had a lovely day paddling around, swimming in the sea, building sand castles, flying our kite and running remote control cars up and down the beach.

Here is a picture of us having fun - look at us - look at how happy we are!!



After the beach we then went to Newcastle and had a go on the "fruit" machines. I won £5!! That said I did simultaneously lose £10. However I left the premises, a happy man.

Once we had finished with our dangerous gambling we went to Maud's for an ice-cream. I bought every one a "Saucy Chocolate Tub" except Richard who favoured a "Mr Whippy". Mauds don't sell those.

After this he we went home and watched "The Chorus" which was really good I thought damn the critics. We ate cheese and biscuits which Fred fetched from Sainsburys during the film as he hates things about singing.

All in all it was a grand day out. Reading it back it sounds a bit common. And in ways it probably was.

Did you go out on Bank Holiday Monday?? If so where and for God's sake why? Feel free to tell us immediately.

Jenny and Chris's Champagne Barbeque

Sat night was "Champagne Night" and Jenny and Chris (yet again) provided us with a fab night. They treated us to their wedding champagne (much appreciated especially by me) and a fabby barbeque (my fav was the corn on't cob!!!)

Many thanks to Jenny and Chris from all of us - really enjoyed your pics of Rio and hope that my ridiculous consumption of alchohol didn't make me slur too much...

Here are a few pics from the evening.

Jenny and Chris's Wedding photo's can be found HERE.

Home Again Home Again Jiggety Jig

Fred Fred are back in Northern Ireland!!

If you wish to see how we got on on holiday (and why wouldn't you) please feel free to look at our photies - Here

We are looking forward to seeing our peeps again however - two weeks is a long time to do without your routine. Feel free to come see us or give us a buzz.



Also Special Amazing thanks to Bazza and Shazza for taking us on a really fabo holiday. We got an amazing amount out of it just seeing the sights and eatin the grub. My fav day was up a mountain with me Da at a monastry bizarrely drinking Sangria at a wooden table and looking down on Majorca and the bay.

Apologies to Centauro Car Hire / Holiday Auto's for the little nick I put on the side of the Ford Galaxy. However they should be grateful that they got it back at all...

Going now to wash knickers, unwrap duck shaped presents and learn some music for performance with Renaissance Sunday morning at St G's - it's fantastic to get away on holiday and it's just as great to be home.

Tuesday

So I've read so much about blogging that it's time I found out what the benefits are. So this is me at Castleward with two of my friends, Lynda and Jenny. Castleward is the venue for an Opera season which is held once a year.
