Had a call from Paul yesterday asking if I’m coming to Amsterdam to help him celebrate his 40th in March, he’s after getting wrecked in one of the Dam’s Superclub’s, could be interesting as not been to Amsterdam in about 12 years and I’ve never actually been abroad with Paul before so that’ll be a first.
Ideally he’s looking at the weekend of the 7th March, say fly out Friday evening and return Sunday/Monday, giving us time to relax when we get there and time to recover when we get back, just need to see how much flights are from Manchester to Amsterdam and then see if I can afford it with spending money on top.
Anyone know anywhere nice to stay there get back to me as I wouldn’t even know where to stay nowadays.
Yes the times finally arrived when I must venture into work after the Christmas/New Year break, oh the joy I feel at knowing in a couple of hours I’ll be amongst my fellow worker bees wishing the day away.
Though had I not taken the 2nd January off I would have been back at work on Friday instead, so glad I booked it off, I actually think they should extend New Years day to include the 2nd January, as I honestly don’t beleive that if I’d actually come into work on the 2nd January I’d have done any work, I’d have probably just sat there muttering to myself and if I had a window seat spent the entire day looking out of it.
Well it seemed such a lovely day today that me and Mel decided to take Blue to the beach, Crosby Beach was the place we headed to, mainly due to the fact we wanted to see the Another Place sculptures by Antony Gormley which are found there.
There are 100 figures which all face out to sea and are spread over about a 2 mile stretch of Crosby beach, each figure is made from cast iron and about 6 feet tall
Pretty amazing site seeing all those sculptures spread out along the beach and seeing how the sea and tide have altered them, plus there’s the odd few that have been dressed up or altered in someway, be it with hats, scarves or paint, every so often you’d catch a glimpse of one out of the corner of your eye and think what the fcuk is he doing in the sea in these temperatures ?, then you’d realise it was a sculpture.
Its a very good beach to walk dogs on as well plenty of sand for the dogs to go mental on, Blue loved it, she got to meet lots of other dogs and had a right good runaround, she looked thoroughly knackered when we got back to the car, must admit I was pretty knackered myself, but definitely going to go back again soon and explore the area and beach a bit more.
