WEEK TWENTY NINE 16/07 -- 22/07

 

As mentioned last time we were off to Great Yarmouth for a weekend of fun, games and drinking. (hic). 

Was nice to get away for the few days and although the journey up and back was eventful to say the least we did however get there ok and have the best of the weather to enjoy the beach and all that Yarmouth has to offer. 



Hasn't seemed to change much in the 30 years since I last visited on a family holiday (that was a lot of fun but another story for another time). 

They now have a huge wind farm stretching out into the sea, and although the two piers are both open there isn't an awful lot going on even though it's the height of summer. 




Reason for going apart from the need for a short break and rest was to meet up with a few people from a group known as the Rik Mayall Rejects !! As the name suggests they are all fans of the late Dr Rik Mayall and there have been a number of gatherings and fund raisers in his memory. 

Met with Penny Monsen, who is the leader of this motley crew, and also delighted to meet Noelle, Lorcan, Holly, Claudia as well as Duane and Bex. Thought there might have been a few more than this out for the occasion, it was still plenty and generally a good time had by all. 

All the details and pics are on Facebook and in my private directories, so will only share a few good ones here and there. 



It is a shame to be back home so soon and back to work, as it begins to heat up (I do so detest the heat), just a bit of time for some Cow Spotting on the way home though. MOOO!! 



As the weekend ends and Monday comes around I do at least for now feel good ... cue James Brown !! 


Make someone else feel good.

Performing good deeds no matter how small you may think they are should make you feel better and become more positive, also been known as random acts of kindness, karma can be good. 

Doing things for others makes you feel good. It may also be
good for your physical health.

• Help a friend, relative or neighbour with errands,
transportation, shopping, babysitting or other tasks.

• At the very least, get to know who your neighbour is, you never know they might need you and you might need them one day. 

• Get involved in a voluntary group.

• Teach your child how good it feels to give to others
by volunteering together at a local charity or helping
out an elderly neighbour.

• Pick up litter when you see it in a park or on
the beach.

• Let someone else take the good parking space or go
ahead of you in line at the shopping queue (especially if you have loads of stuff and they got couple of items, it won't hold you up much trust me).

Above all else by nice, be polite, manners cost nothing and even if the person you hold the door for doesn't say thanks or acknowledge you ... we'll that's their issue, not yours.
