So, beach, tick, sea-life centre, tick, paddling in the sea, tick. We also went to the traditional English amusement arcades, I love the dancing machines there where the arrows come up on the screen. I am actually really bloody good at is as well, so I think I might look on youtube to see if it has it on there, and just stamp my feet along. Even without the mat, its still a good workout.
We went to the theme park as well, and, omg, I didn't realise what a wuss my bf was
He wouldn't go on anything other than kids rides
I mean, rides for 3 year old! He went on one that was like a windmill, not that high or fast, suitable for 6 year olds, and he bricked it. I laughed so much. How did I not know that about him after being with him for 8 years?! We spent the whole day at the theme park, and had a brilliant time. There wasn't any queues either, as it was a weekday, so it was perfect. I went on a couple of rides that REALLY shit me up, but I love it really
Errrrrrrm.... We had a few games of bowling, and it was like a hustle watching me play. We had the bumpers up at the side for the kids (and me lol) to stop the ball rolling down the gutter thing, and at first it was bouncing from side to side, I had no control. I get excited when I knock loads of skittles down even when it bounces on the bumpers lol. Then, in the second game, my bf told me it was "all in the knees". "Bowling, all in the knees???" I hear you cry. Yes, all in the knees. It applies to the bowling variety of walking (probably an English term), and the bowling variety of bowling. It is all in the knees, you have to swoop down low, so that the ball is as close as possible to the floor when you release it. By the end of the third game I wasn't hitting the bumpers at all, and I even got strikes. Without it hitting the bumpers! Can you imagine?????!!!! I used to play bowling more like netball.
If you are still reading this, well done
Dunno how this has ended up so long. If you are not still reading this-shame upon you. You know who you are.
Anyway, we also saw x-man at the cinema. Great special effects, but something lacking. Didn't make me laugh or cry, and left me feeling rather unmoved. And I am a person who is moved very easily. Emotionally, I mean, not physically. Its is actually very hard to move me because I weigh over 13 stone. Which is why I am on here. I cry at everything. The newspaper, programmes, magazine articles, bad things happening to friends of friends. Being a counsellor would be the worst job possible for me. I would need to be counselled myself if I did that. Off track again- the film didn't move me, which is not hard, so it failed. At least it didn't ruin my make-up. I lost my make up bag whilst I was at the theme park
It had my favourite bits in it as well. Sob. At least I packed light, under normal circumstances I would have taken my entire make up collection out with me. I have a feeling it may have been pick-pocketed as you have to leave your handbags on the floor while you are on rides, but at least it wasn't my phone or camera.
We did do other bits and bobs, but i will STOP RIGHT HERE, because I know that I will not stop writing unless I force myself. The kids were super duper well behaved, we were all happy happy happy most of he time, and I think its great that we reconnected as a family.
I did get seaside doughnuts, and was intending on eating the whole bag of 6 (which I used to do with no trouble), but I was stuffed after 3
Tomorrow, after a good nights sleep in my own obscenely comfy bed, I will eat bloody brilliantly.
