The weekend saw me driving down to Plymouth to see my good friend Nelly. Work has been hectic over the last couple of weeks so a long weekend was called for and some fun.
Million Dollar Baby was viewed Friday, along with a drink in the pub and much pizza. A great film in my opinion incidentally. Saturday, after much cajoling of Nelly and several excited bounces (from me) we had a first ski lesson. After the shock of seeing the steepness of the dry ski slope, we were herded to the nursery slope a very poor cousin of the main event, but a great relief. What fun! Who knew exercise was such a laugh, and I am proud to announce that level one has now been mastered, or mistress-ed whichever way you'd like to see it.
The afternoon was spent test driving cars from a supermarket showroom. But nothing there suited my pocket, demand on design and had the all important fun factor. Not to mention it did not have to be silver!
Later on we met with some of Nelly's mates for a Weatherspoon meal before going to see The Plymouth Raiders play basketball, one of Nelly's delights. I have to say i do always enjoy going to see the match and cheering and shouting at the game. The evening was finished off with a couple of pints of cider in a local pub, and singing filthy and gorgeous by the scissor sisters.
Sunday, after a long lie in we went to a local garage... vroom. Several test drives later the fiery red fun factor bear mobile was decided upon. Apparently I grew horns when I drove it.... do bears have horns? Only on their bicycles!
So I am one car up and several grand down on something that essentially dissolves in water. Vrooooommmmmmm.
A great account of the fun weekend we shared. Who'd ever have thought you would come down to sunny Plymouth and buy the bear-mobile of your dreams? It's a little "cracker" though and I can't wait to go for a 'burn' when you take delivery. Yes, bears do have horns!! I saw them with my own eyes!
Love ...your 'filthy and gorgeous' friend, Nelly xx
(p.s. Raiders for ever!) :)
