Wonderful day yesterday... it was Tony's birthday, he took the day off and we went down to Brighton... would have been nice if Kate could have had the day off too... apart from other reasons i would have got to go on the carousel above! Tony just would not go on with me alone...


above the old burnt out remainders of the famous Brighton pier... a sad looking skeleton left there out to sea...

this wonderful old 'Grand' hotel...

not sure the name of this one though... we were driving along the sea front here, trying to get out of town, road works! of course, then we headed off in the wrong direction towards Rottingdean... and afterwards i remembered this is always the wrong direction i head off towards when i leave Brighton!

on our way there we had also spent some time in traffic on the country's biggest car park... the M25! but was quicker coming home...

Tony's home was an abundance of banners and balloons and Kate brought him a birthday cake with candles... was so lovely!

we had take out Chinese..first i have had for a long long time, MSG!!! but couldn't taste any, so hopefully i wont be coming out in hives! all clear so far...

we also watched Slumdog Millionaire.. i hadn't seen it yet, and now i can understand what all the fuss was about and why it won so many awards, it deserves the fuss!

now this was yesterday... Monday Mom and i went into Berkhamsted for a little look about and coffee, of course! and then in the evening i went over to Aylesbury and mate picked me up in the evening, her and her sister were returning from a weekend in Dublin! they were limping and tired... and happy! late nights and early morning, lots of dancing and cocktails included!

we had a good evening of talking and dinner of lasagne, my third lasagne in a row!?! and in the morning, Tuesday i was back at the bus station... i actually recognise some of the bus drivers now, so must be time for the off!

i also had to come back to Aylesbury, so went to Moms, leaving my heavy enough over night bag, it was back to Aylesbury and coffee with Sarah and my little Callum, then lunch at Pizza Express with friends and back to get my over night bag, then another couple of buses before being back here! heck, feel shattered re telling this story!
