I AM SO SORRY IT HAS TAKEN ME TILL TODAY TO WRITE THIS BLOG I HAVE NO EXCUSE !!! FORGIVE ME X
MY WEEK HAS BEEN SO BUSY WITH CLIENTS GOING OFF ON HOLIDAYS AND WEDDINGS -TALKING OF WHICH I HAVE A FUNNY STORY OF THE WEDDING THAT I WAS DOING THE HAIR FOR ON SATURDAY , THE BRIDE WANTED ME THERE FOR 8.30 am SO SHE HAD PLENTY TIME TO GET READY , I ARRIVED TO FIND HER IN FLOODS OF TEARS ( YOU CAN ONLY HOPE ALL WAS NOT TITS UP ) SHE THEN INFORMED ME THAT SHE HAD DECIDED TO IRON HER WEDDING DRESS AND HAD BURNT THE BACK RIGHT THROUGH ! POOR GIRL WHAT A STATE SHE WAS IN , ANYHOW WE STARTED ON THE HAIR WHICH I SET THEN PUT UP WITH TINY PEARLS . I COULDN'T HELP THINKING IT WAS ALL A BIT OF A WASTE AS EVERYONE WOULD BE LOOKING AT HER BURNT DRESS !!!!
LATER BACK AT THE SALON I HAD MY FRIEND LYNN HANNA WHO IS JUST HOME FROM CLIMBING MOUNT EVEREST !!! WHAT AN AMAZING LADY AND SHE HAS JUST CELEBRATED HER 47 th BIRTHDAY ( WHO SAYS YOU HAVE TO BE YOUNG TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM ) I WOULD BE HAPPY DOING THE CAVE HILL WITHOUT A BREATHER !LOL.
THEN WE WERE AT A NAMEING DAY DOWN IN CROSSGAR WHICH WAS WONDERFUL THE FOOD AND COMPANY WAS EXCELLENT AND LITTLE BABY JAKE WAS THE STAR OF THE DAY JUST AS IT SHOULD BE .
SUNDAY WE HAD FRIENDS ROUND FOR LUNCH WE HAVE STARTED DOING THE CHEESE BOARD AS A STARTER WITH FRESH FRUIT AND SALAMIS , ALONG WITH NICE CHUTNEY AND CRUSTY BREAD WASHED DOWN WITH FINE WINE ITS A GREAT WAY TO EAT AS YOU HELP YOURSELF AND ALL THE FOOD IS ON A BIG SLATE , I GOT THE IDEA WHEN I WAS IN PARIS , WE WERE AT THE MARKET AND PEOPLE BRING A LITTLE BIT OF FOOD AND EVERYONE SHARES ITS A LOVELY WAY TO EAT AND RELAX ! THEN WE HAD BEEF SLOW COOKED FOR 2 DAYS MADE WITH ORANGES ,MUSHROOMS ,SHALLOTS AND RED WINE ALSO I ADDED BLACK OLIVES TO IT AT THE END -THIS I SERVED ON CRUSHED POTATOES -WENT DOWN A TREAT!

HI EVERONE
PHEW! WHAT A WEEKEND I HAVE HAD
SATURDAY NIGHT WE WENT TO SEE THE MANIC STREET PREACHERS IN THE ULSTER HALL , THE NEWLY DONE UP ULSTER HALL LOOKED BRILLIANT AND I WAS PLEASED TO SEE THAT THEY HAD KEPT IT VERY MUCH LIKE IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN . THERE WAS A BRILLIANT SMOKING AREA IN WHICH I SPENT SOME TIME IN !!! IT'S A PITY THEY CAN'T GET ROUND BRINGING YOUR DRINK OUT TOO (WHATS THAT A NANO STATE YOU SAY MMMM!!!) ANYWAY THE CONCERT WAS SPLIT INTO 2 WITH THE 1ST PART BEING THE NEW ALBUM , THE BAR WAS FULL WITH DIE HARD MANICS POO POOING THE NEW ALBUM , I THOUGHT IT SOUNDED OKAY BUT IT WAS SO LOUD THE SOUND WAS DISTORTED A LOT (OR MABEY I AM GETTING TOO AULD FOR IT ! ) THE 2ND HALF WAS ALL THE OLD STUFF AND THE CROWD RESPONDED DELIGHTED ! ACROSS THE ROAD TO MORRISONS FOR A PINT AND THE VIBE WAS GOOD IN THERE WITH A FAB DJ PLAYING ALL THE TUNES TO CUT SOME SHAPES SHATTERED WE MADE A QUICK RETREAT TO BANGOR WITH A LOVELY TAXI DRIVER BILLY XX
NEXT UP SUNDAY FOR AWALK ALONG BALLYHOLME BEACH WITH DARKY ME AULD MAN AND SOME FRIENDS , IT WAS A GREAT DAY AND WE WERE ALL BLOWING OUT A LITTLE HANGOVER, I WAS AMAZED TO SEE A MAN WALKING ALONG THE BEACH WITH A BLACK BIN LINER PICKING UP THE RUBBISH ! I HAD TO GO AND THANK HIM WHILE HE WAS WORKING , HE TOLD ME THAT HE HAD WALKED THERE FOR YEARS AND IT CRACKED HIM UP SO MUCH HE HAD TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT !!! YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE THE PEOPLES THOUGHT PATTERN TO ACTUALLY PICK UP DOG TURD IN A BAG THEN HANG IT UP ON THE WALL I MEAN IT'S BIO DEGRADEABLE IF YOUR GOING TO DO THAT JUST LEAVE IT ON THE GROUND !!! IT' S DISGUSTING ROUND THERE BANGOR COUNCIL SHOULD HANG THEIR HEADS IN SHAME . SO I URGE YOU TAKE A BAG AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF CLEARING UP AS YOU WALK I WILL BE DOING THIS FROM NOW ON AND LET'S CLEAN UP OUR COUNTRYSIDE .
SUNDAY NIGHT WE WENT TO THE OPERA IN CASTLEWARD IT WAS "DIE FLIEDERMAUS" (THE BAT) IT WAS SPECTACULAR AND REALLY FUNNY , THE COSTUME'S AND SETS WERE SO MODERN AND TRENDY REALLY NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM OPERA . THEY MUST ATTRACT YOUNG PEOPLE TO THE OPERA AND BY DOING THIS IT CERTAINLY WILL APPEAL TO A WIDER AUDIENCE .THEY STILL HAVE

WE THEN WALKED IT ALL OFF BY STROLLING THROUGH ORMEAU PARK (A FIRST FOR US BOTH !) IT REALLY IS QUITE BEAUTIFULLY KEPT AND IS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN I EXPECTED .
LATER ON THAT EVENING WE WERE INVITED TO OUR DEAR FRIEND FIONA CLEMENTS ART EXHIBITION , I REALLY WASN'T EXPECTING THE AMOUNT OF TALENT THAT WAS ON DISPLAY IN THE ART COLLEGE- IT REALLY WAS INCREDIBLE TO SEE , THE STUDENTS HAVE SWEATED BLOOD TO GET THEIR COLLECTIONS FINISHED AND WERE IN HIGH SPIRITS AND THE CAMERADERIE WAS VERY APPARENT , FIONAS WORK IS FANTASTIC SHE HAS DONE WELL TO GET A 2 1 IN HER EXAM- VERY WELL DESERVED AS A BUSY MOTHER MYSELF I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE PULLED IT OFF -OBVIOUSLY A REMARKABLE LADY .

PARIS BLOG!
HEY EVERYBODY!
JUST BACK FROM GAY PARIS, A LOT OF PEOPLE FEEL THE PARISIAN PEOPLE ARE STAND OFFISH AND RUDE, ON THE CONTRARY THESE PHOTOGRAPHS SHOW HOW PLEASANT AND ACCOMMODATING THEY REALLY ARE! COULD BE THAT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN APPROACHED BY SUCH A FABULOUS LOOKING CHARACTER AS MYSELF! LOL!
THE FIRST FEW PICTURES ARE OF RANDOM PEOPLE IN LES MARIS DISTRICT.
THIS GIRL WALKED PAST ME IN THE STREET AND SAT AT THE CAFE ALONE, WHEN I APPROACHED HER FOR A PHOTOGRAPH, SHE WAS QUITE SHOCKED YET CHUFFED THAT I LIKED HER LOOK. GOING FROM THE COMMENTS ON FACEBOOK,A LOT OF THE GUYS LIKED HER LOOK ASWELL!
THIS GUY WAS JUST SITTING EATING HIS LUNCH OUTSIDE A SHOP. HE LOOKED REALLY MOODY AND WHEN I ASKED TO TAKE HIS PHOTO, HE STRUCK THE POSE SHOWN! I LOVED HIS OUTFIT AND HE WAS VERY COOL!
I FANCY HIM, SO BADLY!HE WAS TRES HOT AND EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RAINING, I COULD'VE STRIPPED NAKED AND DANCED ALL AROUND HIM! LOL! HOW COME YOU ONLY EVER COME ACROSS HOTTIES WHEN YOUR HUSBAND IS TWO FEET BEHIND YOU?! GOD'S A WOMEN!
THIS GEEZA WAS MAKING MY KEBAB! HE WAS SO NICE AND LOVED HIS JOB, HAD A GREAT LAUGH SHOWING HIM BACK HIS PHOTO WHICH I HAD TO TAKE AGAIN UNTIL HE LIKED IT! THE KEBAB WAS NEARLY COLD BY THE TIME WE AGREED ON THIS!
HOPE YOU LIKED MY SNAPS,THE REST OF THEM ARE ON MY FACEBOOK, FEEL FREE TO HAVE A NOSEY. LOVE TO ALL. LAWRAIN XXX
