turpsI should just keep a post on draft about this and save myself some time, because I was sick again Friday. I'm good now but Friday night wasn't the best I have to admit. Over the weekend I was thinking about why I seem to get ill so easily lately and remembered something I read when I first researched taking the weight loss tablets the doctor prescribed, which was they interfere with absorbing some sorts of vitamins. Now this may mean nothing but at this point I'm willing to clutch at any kind of straw, however short that is, so will be buying some multi vitamins when I go to the doctors later.
Saturday we went to Whitby with my nanna. It was touch and go if I'd go for a while but she was looking forward to it so off we went. I like spending time with her but man, she needs a gag at times. Whitby is the most gorgeous costal town, the beach has donkeys! there's arcades and huts selling seafood and sweets, arcades and loads of fish shops. The river runs alongside the shops and you cross this bridge to get to the other side where there's more cobbled narrow streets and interesting shops, including the divine Justin's chocolate shop, hmmmmm. When we arrived we discovered it was the local folk festival which meant the place was packed with troops of Morris dancers. Everywhere you looked were men and woman with blacked out faces and outlandish clothes dancing with sticks to the beat of drums and accordions. The best thing were the bells, each one wore tiny jingerly bells attached to their shoes and knees so all you could hear was the jingle of bells as they danced and walked. We stood and watched two troops and nanna seemed to like it, at one point I was sure she was going to join in *g* But like I said, sometimes she really needs a gag, like when we went for dinner. We went to a fish and chip restaurant in a booth and the one behind us was occupied by four women who were having a great time. They were loud I must admit, laughing and having fun, but man, nanna was just as loud when she announced they'd obviously been let out for the day from some kind of institution and lets not talk of her expression when she saw this cool guy dressed in thigh high boots and a man skirt. But yes, we had fun even though all I was good for was stretching out on the couch and watching tv when we got back, and okay, that may have included having inappropriate Justin/Leland thoughts from Dog the Bounty Hunter, but no one will ever prove that.
Yesterday we did a car boot sale which was totally uninteresting except Corey wiped out a load of our profit when he found someone selling Beano books which he loves and I managed to totally burn my shoulder and chest, but just on one side because I'm just that good. Other news, Kayleigh ( my sister ) has been offered the job of stewardess of looking after the club where she's a barmaid. It's such a good opportunity for her though a little daunting I'm sure. She's 19 and has only been working a year or so. She was given the job over all the much older barmaids so there's a little resentment going on, but I think she'll be fine. What I love the most is that the club is a typical north east working man's club in that woman can't be served at the bar and don't have the same rights as the male members. The members tend to be intolerant about anything they don't know and really it's a place I won't set foot in unless I have to. But Kayleigh is planning to ask Lia to move up here eventually and work with her, at which point all the members will probably choke on their beers that their precious club is being run by a lesbian couple.
I was going to do the year you were born musical meme but I only knew about four songs, I mean, who the hell is Wet Willie? Three Dog Night? Redbone? And if everyone knows them and I'm just an uneducated savage, forgive me.
