A weekend full of fun & laughter

This weekend the Ice Hockey team i support, had 2 home games. I’ve been supporting The Hull Stingrays for over 20 years now and absolutely love the sport and have made some wonderful friends up and down the country.

Last night the first of many laughs occurred. The first been poor Polo

Polo is our club mascot and before the game starts, he either walks round the rink or skates on the ice with a bucket of tennis balls which have a number on. He throws them into the crowd and if you catch a ball and the player who scored the first goal’s shirt number matches your ball.. you win a prize.

Anyway last night Polo skated with his bucket of balls and slipped ..Well its slippery is that ice.. Unfortunately, his head fell off.. Now i’m laughing as i type this as it was so funny. The thing was that Danny (Polo) had hurt his knee as he fell and was obviously in pain but ever the entertainer he leant back, grabbed his head and rammed it back on before limping off to cheers from the crowd.

i know it was cruel to laugh but it did look funny and he didn’t do any damage to his knee so alls well.

Tonight my friend Sarah complained of indigestion so i offered her some Indigestion tablets, she turned her nose up telling me they made her feel sick so i offered her a Covonia.. The cough lozenges i carry about with me and amuse her by always offering them to people.

Unfortunately i managed to get my words wrong and told her instead of Covonia, that i had some Calgon!!  Now Calgon in the UK is a water softener which you put inside your washing machine when washing.. That was it.. laughs galore!!

I'm Back!!!

I'm back and hopefully able to read all your fantastic blogs again, without the dreaded "about blank" tab popping up and throwing me off the net.. fingers crossed.

Well what a busy weekend i had last weekend.. I went on Saturday evening to watch my favourite ice hockey team The Hull Stingrays play at The Hull Arena. I've not been in almost a year as apart from the season ending, i've spent a lot of time out of town at my other halfs home.

It was great to catch up with my friends too and have a giggle with them.


Dez, Dave & Caroline been themselves!!! hahaha

I've been supporting Ice Hockey in Hull for almost 22 years now and last season was the first season i'd not been to every match. They beat Cardiff Devils 4-2 so it was a good game to watch with plenty of fights too!!

On Sunday i had a walk down to The Hull Marina to watch the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race set off on their 10 month voyage. What an amazing site to see the 10 yachts out on the River Humber ready to set sail on a voyage of a lifetime and so emotional too.

Sir Robin Knox-Johnston

Thousands turned up to watch the start of the race

This Sunday we're going to Rockingham in Northamptonshire to watch the BTCC and i can't wait. I'm a real sociable person and we've got so many friends we meet up with at the meets its fantastic.

Apart from all this excitement of been out and about i've also had a weird pain in my stomach. The only thing i can describe it as is like a period pain. But as i no longer have those ( Thank heavens) it most certainly aint that.. I'm not too worried though as i visit my Oncologist next month for my 6 month check up so he'll have a prod about and see whats what.
