Yesterday I went on a daytrip to Harry Ramsden’s with the Viva! Project. I was picked up at 10:00a.m by Leanne and Neil in the Blue bus. We picked up six other passengers and made our way down the M4.
The woman in the car next to us started waving madly to attract our attention. Leanne waved back, thinking this woman was just being friendly. Then we realised something was wrong ~ we had a flat tyre!
We pulled up as soon as we could. Neil attempted to change the tyre, but he wasn’t allowed to. The boss said they weren’t insured if the bus fell on top of him! Claire arrived and took us, in three’s, to the nearest service station. Neil had to wait for the AA men to turn up and change the tyre. Claire was worried if they didn’t fix the bus by 12:10p.m, we wouldn’t be going anywhere!
However, they managed to change the tyre by 12:00p.m and we were on our way again! We arrived at Harry Ramsden’s place in plenty of time. Then we all had some fish and chips and a soft drink of our choice , followed by ice-cream. What a treat! I have only been there once before and will definitely go again!
My father is going to watch a football match this afternoon in Cardiff ~ Leeds vs. Watford. It is raining heavy here in the Rhondda Valleys ~ maybe it will be different there.
My mum and I have decided to go out for Sunday lunch for a change. It is very rare that we have Sunday lunch together, as I usually go to visit my Nan over the weekend, so it will be very special to me.
I have three more exams this week. They are Computers (paper 2) tomorrow, English Literature on Tuesday and R.E on Wednesday morning. I have 12 more examinations to sit after that. I wish I hadn’t been so hasty and taken so many courses. At the time, I just wanted to get as many qualifications as I could. I didn’t realise how much work would be involved!! The sooner the exams are out the way, the better. Trust me lol!
Wish me luck!

Postscript (Sunday, 18:32p.m)
I had a lovely Sunday dinner with Mum. Mum had lamb and I had chicken, with roasties, mash potato, yorkshire pudding with a selection of vegetables. For dessert I had vanilla ice-cream with chocolate sauce and Mum had apple crumble with custard. Yum! Also Dad didn't go to Cardiff, he missed the train so he watched the match in our local pub. Watford won 3-0. Dad came home disappointed at his team's (Leeds) performance.
