Well I havent been blogging very consistantly so heres something I should have blogged about a few days ago. It was my birthday on Friday. Its my first birthday since I have “gone freelancing” so I thought I may be able to get away without doing work. Didnt work out like that with work to be done both on the Friday and also the Saturday. Oh well!!
Friday I actually went back home to my parents place and my Mum made me a lovely steak! Mmmm. On Saturday, I went out for a meal and drinks. The meal was in Ha Ha Bar and Grill in Spinningfields (Manchester). The food was pretty good. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I had a Seafood Gratin for starter – still not sure what it was but was some sort of seafood “medley” in a pot with cheese and breadcrumbs with some toasted bread. The main I chose was pork chops which were very tasty. I wasnt planning on having dessert but everyone else was so went for Chocolate Brownie – to be honest it was too sweet. My friend opposite had a big T-Bone steak which looked lovely! At the end I opened up presents which included aftershave, body wash pack and some cufflinks. Before the meal I also got a keepfit DVD and one of those abs belt things. Is that a hint that I smell, am scruffy and need to get fit??
Afterwards we went to Dukes 92. Had a drink or 2 there – sat outside under the heaters and was nice and pleasant. Apparently Vernon Kay was in the bar too but I missed him – even though he is about 6″4!! After Dukes 92, we moved on to Deansgate Locks to meet some other friends who were out for someones birthday. We went to Loaf – not been there for years!! It was pretty good and different sort of music with 3 different “areas”. Bumped into a couple gym instructors from my gym and they made me promise I would be in the gym on Monday!! Hehe. Also in the bar was Vernon Kay again – he was following us!! This time I did see him – he certainly is very tall. He was there was some other people and I am guessing its his brother who is also tall and looks quite like him.
Anyway, after a few hours we all decided to call it a night. After a few hours of sleep, I then played football……. in hindsight I should have just stayed in bed!
