kennys party 071, originally uploaded by BagRat.

Kenny reached the grand old age of 50 last week along with Andy reaching the 40 mark, so they had a joint party to celebrate and used the oppurtunity to get everyone back togeather again.

It was good to see all the faces from the partys togeather again having a laugh and just generally getting on, party kicked off at of all places Stretford Cricket Club, then moved onto Lisa’s flat, where drinks flowed and people talked bollox (mainly due to what they’d had).

We left fairly early on in the morning 5:00am so maybe not so early, but the party carried on after we left, ending only when John, Ben and a few others decided to place most of Lisa food stuffs in the freezer . . . oh and after Ben had emptied a full bag of flour over the sleeping Lisa’s head (not nice Ben).

Gotta say Kenny was looking good for an old man and no doubt has many years left in him, all the best Kenny and Andy

While I was back in Yorkshire at the weekend went to Ashley Godbers 40th birthday at Beverley Race Course along with Jase and Nev.

The evening was a pretty good one, saw a few people from my years knocking around Nellies such as Nicky, Fiona to name a few, had a few drinks round some of our old Beverley haunts like Nellies, Corner House, Green Dragon and tried a few new pplaces that have sprung up. but the highlight of the evening had to be after we’d dropped Nev off at home and were making our way towards Jase’s parents house in Sutton.

What was the highlight ?
Well we decided to pop by Spiders NiteClub and say hello to any of the original doorstaff who might still be working there (in this case all of them), after saying hello and catching up we were allowed in for free to have a wonder about the place and boy has it changed, they’ve opened up lots of new spaces for people to get pissed and congregate in, but the real highlight was seeing Roger in his usaul spot in the main corridor of Spiders all done up for Halloween . .

Roger if your reading this don’t ever change

Took these photo’s on the way home from work last night, stopped because there was a Rainbow, so took a few shots of that, then as I turned round to go back to the car saw the way the Sun was shining down this road and thought it would make a pretty decent photo

Did’nt really post to much over the weekend as I spent quite alot of it in bed, due to being called out to an alarm call at my workplace, was there from midnight Friday till 5:30am Saturday morning, so spent quite a while in bed recovering.

So seeing as most of Saturday was spent in bed thought we#d better do something on Sunday, was’nt sure what to do or where to go, but in the end we decided on Chelford Car boot.

Got there for about 12:30 and spent a good hour or so just wondering round looking for bargain’s but think we missed most of them, so just ended up buying lots of quaility cheeses instead, more about those in another post.

After leaving we thought we’d best take Blue for a walk and on the way back we chanced upon Styal Estate a rather good dog walking place, we’d heard about it before but never actually bothered to go look for it, really wish we had cause its definatly a dog friendly walk, lost of paths and fields for Blue to galavant in, I’ll stick some photo & videos up this weekend so you can see for yourselfs.

Anyway its close to 8:00am and I’d better start making my way to work, cyas laters

Blue has her first journey on a Bus, the No 23 took her from Davyhulme all the way to Chorlton and she was a very calm and well behaved passenger

Driving home from Stretford and the Police had blocked the road both ways due to an accident on Lostoc Rd Davyhulme/Urmston, seems someone had an argument with a tree and flipped there car.

Can’t understand how you can hit a tree thats 2 feet from the curb on a straight road where the speed limits 30mph, either he/she was on the phone, distracted or had to swerve for something, no other cars involved.

Ambulance, 2x Police Vans and Fire engine in attendance, don’t think anyone was to badly hurt.

Thxs to the wonders of mobile phones I twittered there and then, photo’s were taken on my iphone and uploaded to twitter and twitterpic via twitterfon.

The festival was quite a success from what we’ve heard and from teh amount of people milling about I’d definatly have to agree, we stayed around for about an hour then headed to Electriks bar for a few drinks and to sample there Sausage and Mash, which we’d alos heard good things about and we were not disappointed, they food was excellent, also got have a chat with Luke “Una” Cowdry one of the co-owners of the bar.

On the way there dropped into Orlando’s and picked up a bright orange t-shirt for Blue to wear next time she’s there.

Gotta say our day out dog-walking at Delemere Forest was really good, got there about 11:00am and spent well over 3hrs just walking and walking and walking, all of us including Blue was thoroughly knackered afterwards, definitely intending visiting again, the place is a dog-walkers paradise.

Met lots of nice people while we were walking around who all took a keen interest in Blue, wanting to know what breed she was, did all Cane Corso’s look as adorable and where they all as chilled out as she was, best part of the day was when Blue got set upon by a pack of dogs, well I say set upon, more like slightly irritated by a pack of the dogs, the dogs in question were about 7 miniature poodle’s, they just sort skipped around Blue barking alot and letting her know they were in charge, all Blue did was sort of look at them in a bemused manner and just walk through them, dead funny to watch, as we walked away one the more determined ones chased after Blue for one final bark, where upon Blue just turned round and still looked bemused, only wish I’d caught it all on camera.

We finished off the day at a very nice pub in Little Leigh, called of all things the Leigh Arms, cant recommend this place enough, really good service, absolutely gorgeous food, the Lamb Henry was to die for and best of all its dog friendly, will definitely be popping in there again on our next visit to Delemere
