I woke up today with this feeling
That better things are coming my way (way)
And if the sunshine has a meaning
Telling me not to let things get in my way
When the rainy days are dying
Gotta keep on, keep on trying
All the bees and birds are flying (ahh ahh ahh)
Never let go, gotta hold on in
Non-stop ’til the break of dawnin’
Keep on movin’ don’t stop rockin’ (ahh ahh ahh)
Get on up when you’re down
Baby, take a good look around
I know it’s not much, but it’s okay
Keep on moving anyway

Don’t worry, I’ve not completely cracked, it’s one of the questions we ask at interviews…most peole answer ‘gettin this interview’..bleurgh….but as most people know smiling as well as helping to beat depression keeps you generally healthy…

So anyways was listening to the radio this afternoon adn the above song came on nd that made me smile today…no not because I’m a closet 5ive fan, but because Tony…no not that one..the landlord of now The Queens… used to sing this on karaoke, which brought back memories of me and Kath dancing round the pub to it. So amongst other things today, it made me smile.

As for what made me upset today, that’s whole different post for a different time, quite possibly never.

One of those had to be there days…new musuem open in Liverpool, so we thought we’d go and have a look..I’d checked the directions and knew where to go, but then we missed the tuno off and ended up going through the Mersey Tunnel! :lol: £1.30 each way lol

Once we’d found the musuem, we weren’t impressed, it was closed! (yeah OK my bad!) So went on a hunt for Goodison Park…working on the basis we were on ‘Everton Road’ thought we couldn’t be far off…we found Anfield, but not Goodison, so came to the conclusion that the Scousers had nicked it :lol:

After giving up on that one, we decided to go hunting for the bridge from ‘2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps’…was a bit easier to find as there were plenty of signs saying ‘the bridge’ :lol:


10 today!

Sarah Hurlihy, a divorced preschool teacher who has sworn off dating after her bad breakup, finds her family pushing her back into the dating world. Her sister places a personal ad for her, declaring that anyone answering it “must love dogs,” despite the fact that Sarah doesn’t own a dog herself. When someone intriguing responds to the ad, she decides to borrow Mother Theresa, her brother’s dog, and plunge in.

Hmmm on a good day, I’d say see it on a rainy Sunday afternoon to make you feel warm and gooey inside, but in reality was a bit of sloppy girly sh**e. Mostly predictavble and the cutesy couple thing was too obviously ripped off from WHMS…reminded me of all the icky romantic films Meg Ryan has done, but without Meg, not really worth watching…

So for Neil and Anna’s birthdays we went for a meal at The Ashlea, had never been before but had several reports over the past few years that it was very good and I have to agree. It’s from the same line of pubs as The Hare and Hounds on Werneth Low, same low wood beams with quotes and obsession with stilton cheese…very much a country pub, bizarrely not seeming out of place in Cheadle village!

Was impressed with my food as well, had veggie soup for starters with just the right amount of croutons followed by vegetable plait, with way too many new potatoes. The deserts as at The Hare and Hounds are to die for, but still think they should do me sized portions!
