Good morning all,

I have been ignoring my blogging duties. I had from Tuesday to Friday of last week in Belfast. I mostly sat with Mrs Shannon during the day and spent time with Peter and Eileen and Louise at night. Holywood was its normal overcast self. I saw a few friends and most of the family so that was good. Missed June which was sad. Friday night I got into London and headed to Greenwich where Ronys and Lee live in their gorgeous house. Ronys' sister Lyn and her husband Peter from Buderim are in London too. They all head to France on Sat.

Friday night we had a bbq then Sat we went to Greenwich market and then we went to see Charlton play Oldham. 2 all draw, a red card and a bit of an altercation so we all came home happy. We had dinner at marty and debs and I met wee Josh. He is gorgeous. They had a nice bottle of Bundy there too. Everywhere I have stayed have had a bottle of rum- hope this trend continues. I had a nice visit to the V&A museum and the science museum - my 2 favourites. Of course the circle line was out (takes me back to the old tube strikes in london) so I had to bus it to south ken. Monday I went to the Tate Modern and across the not so wobbly Milennium bridge. In the afternoon I went with Brian to visit Kevin in the nursing home. It was great to see him. Poor wee thing has had it tough.

Thai for dinner last night and I'm at heathrow now getting ready to fly to Roma to meet Krista - bet she's more tired than I.

Thanks to all the people who put me up in Holywood and London.

I don't know what is wrong with me I can't stop shopping for Liam. You can buy a GBP20 raffle ticket at heathrow for a red ferrari - no i didn't buy one.

Will see Krista soon in Roma.

love to all
