Welcome to my Life

Friday night was the same boring time up the pub but I switched to drink Cider which gets me pissed quicker then larger or spirits. Not many people in the pub so I ended up leaving at 11pm to make a pissed up call to my friend.

Saturday I watched Bristol City provide a great game against Oldham although I felt there should have been a penalty in the second half for a push on Jevons but I suppose we got off with a great save by Basso by palming away a Chris Porter header.



Sunday I and Matt (my work colleague and best friend) headed down to Woolacombe for a spot of surfing. As we travelled down it was hammering with rain with lightning and thunder all around us. I must admit I never wanted to go in the sea in the middle of a thunder storm but when we got there everything was ok. We hired out a couple of boards and got changed into our wetsuits before heading down to the beach. As you can see in the picture the beach was packed full of surfers and the waves looked quite high at around 5-6 foot. The water wasn’t that cold but any coldness was gone within a couple of seconds, you just have to brave it and dive straight in. When we got out there the waves were fast and broke too soon so we had to swim further out. We caught a couple of good waves but the wind kicked in so we had a hard time getting into place let along trying to dodge wave after wave. About an hour in the wind was breaking the waves before they got to us and nobody could really do anything so the sea started to empty and after a few more waves we decided to call it a day and head off. The hardest part was trying to walk back with the board as the wind was so strong I could put the board across my front and lean into the wind without falling over.

Once we handed in the board we got changed by the car and headed off to the local pub before heading back. It was weird being in Woolacombe again as the last time I was down there was when I got engaged to my x. Some memories started to push their way into my head from all the good times we had down there.

When we got back we stopped in the local for one then headed home but my head was all mixed up with stupid feelings and tiredness as well as my knee was killing me fighting through all those waves.

Work was boring today and I have a filling at the dentist to look forward too, yey….not.
