23 hours after finally leaving PEI i was getting picked up by Lady Pen from Manchester Airport,im not sure actually how i felt, obvisouly over the moon to see her but i felt a little removed from the situation,i think fatigue had kicked in.The only one noteable thing about my journey back from Canada was the price of a pint of lager in Toronto Airport, $9.21 !!!!!!! i nearly fell of my stool, i only wanted a drink not to buy the bloody company, robbing asses, although i did consume a few more just to see if the price was correct and yes it was,but at least i had great company while i was there,i got talking to a couple from Calgary who were off to France, after saying our goodbyes they actually came upto me just before i was boarding to say bye again, there excuse was they felt they had
known me for years and just wanted to say goodbye again (or maybe they actually wanted to see the back of me lol), i was rather touched (who said all Canadians were ignorant lol).I had told my daughter i was coming home on friday so you can imagine the screams i got when she realised i was back a few days earlier, (maybe a little tear, no from her not me).The british summer is as normal rain, rain, rain but that wasn't hampering my return, it was just great to be back with my family,it certainly doesn't feel like ive been away for the amount of time i actually have, it sort of feels like ive just woke up from a dream its quite sureal.Anyway back to reality Lady Pen has made a list of everything that she has either broken or things that need doing, so first job in between the rain was to cut the front hedge around the drive, i told her not to attempt this, i really didnt want her to cut through the wire on the cutters, guess what i did, yep cut through the wire derrrrr.I also wanted to get back to the gym and was going to pay as you go at my old gym while im back,this was going to work out at£5.50 each visit (quite expensive especially on my wages Lol) but i had a bit of a result,at Davids gym they are doing a one month £10 speci
al, so after my 2 min induction i was allowed to train, i wish i hadn't now the 2 off them (The Fresh Prince and my Nephew ) then decided they would punish me with a very hard routine, don't they know how old i am, these youngsters have no respect lol.My first home cooked meal a beautifull Spag Boll was wolfed down then off to see my mum, how please i am she now has a new bungalow, ive been worried about her since ive been away but as per normal i need not of bothered as i can see how happy she is in her new home.Now everyone knows the first love of my life is Liverpool Football Club, how lucky i am that they are playing this evening in a European qualifer, so i thought it would be so rude if i didnt bother going to watch them, i feel like a big kid at the moment all excited, ive spent most of my life on the Kop so many memories (those times have hepled me on the long and winding roads of North America).
