Okay, so the title does not sound very advertising to read but don't worry you will not be disappointed by this rather lengthy blog, well I hope it turns out to be quite long. I haven't blogged in 82748 god knows how many hours, hang on with the aid of my onscreen calculator I can actually tell you how many hours it approximately has been...80. Okay, so now as much as I initially though but it's a pretty long time to be away from blogging.
The picture that I have chosen for todays blog was taken by my friend Matt on Friday. Equipped with sunscream and towels, Matt, Tom and I strolled to the beach and had quite a fun filled day, and that's where the majority of the title comes from. During the day we pretty much kicked back and enjoyed the gorgeous weather (for once). Summer is officially starting now and I can now actually feel it. I have around three months to do absolutely nothing and I believe that it's bloody fantastic. Anyways, back to Friday.. Well I met my friend Tom Foster for the first time and he turned out to be a brilliant guy, bar a few remarks which were made throughout the day but all in all I'm glad I have met him and now I have a new friend, lovely. One of his marvellous ideas during the day was to send a message in a bottle out to sea, and I have always thought about doing this even as a little kid, but I had never actually put it into action, so I guess this was my time to shine. We wrote the note and threw it out to sea...I wonder where it is right now. Is it in France? Did it get crushed by a boat? Has somebody found it? Who knows. But it is quite an interesting topic actually, well for me it is.. I don't know abou you. Anyways I did a little research on it and I found this little story..On a sudden whim, Maureen Sharp scrawled her name and address on a piece of paper, pushed it into the bottle and threw it into the North Sea. It washed up two years later and 500 miles away on the beach at Neuharlingersiel in Wittmund, Germany, where it was spotted by a teenage girl on her holidays. Carefully uncorking the bottle, Dagmar Wendler pulled out the piece of card inside and read the message: "Please write to me." It was to be the beginning of an incredible 53-year friendship between the two women, who have exchanged hundred of letters and photographs but who only recently met up, face to face...How cute is that! So throwing a bottle into the sea isn't always a waste of time.. especially not in that case anyways :)
So theres Friday done, now onto Saturday.
Saturday was Lydd Club Day and for any of you who doesn't know what it is, look it up. Anyways last year's Lydd Club Day was pretty amazing excluding a few events but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the year passed by so quickly that yesterday was the beginning of another hecktic and noisy night for Lydd. I turned up a little early with some friends and we pranced around for a bit until they finally let us in. The bumper cars were first hit by us as we sped around getting hit by the owner of the ride. A long with bumping into the other riders of course :) We then went on Bounce! which was a ride that randomly drops you.. it's hard to explain but anywho, we had a jolly old time on that as well, before the night was up I went on that ride a further two times. All in all the night was amazing and I left around 22:10 as my parents wanted to stick around for more fun and watch the fireworks which we could easily see from my home anyways. But nevertheless it was beautiful and it was a great end to a fantastic day...roll on next year baby!
It's father's day today and I have just finished making my daddy's card. I drew a little eagle onto it as it's his favourite animal but my lack of artist skills makes it look more like a pancake and I'm not entirely sure why, but hey ho. I will dedicate this blog to my dad who is currently taking part in an one hundred mile cycling race and I wish him the very best of luck, although he doesn't really need it, he will beat them anyways..fingers crossed though :)
So now I will leave you all to have fun and share time with your daddies. Take care everybody and Happy Father's Day!
:)
