Go Manchester Monarchs!

Well what I should be doing is reading and doing some work as the work load for the next week is of the scale, however as I am a little groggy still from my cold, and the Christmas music is so fun to listen to I thought I would update you on our weekend events and I will start the work tomorrow. Last night we went to Jama (no idea how to spell it!)and her and her husband cooked as a lovely homemade meal. She is a friend of Priscilla's and it was lovely to go there, they were so welcoming and friendly. After stuffing ourselves with chicken, rice, salad, pumpkin pie and S'mores we went intergalactic bowling for Sarah Ms birthday. Strobe lighting, loud music = wicked good time. It also equals better bowling environment, not only did all the bowls go down the right way and in the right land I also got a strike and two spares- wahoo!

Now today we went to see an Ice hockey game- this was fantastic, I have become a fan. It was split into 3 periods each 20 mins and at the end of each period the teams would swap ends. We went to see the Manchester Monarchs and it was quite brutal- which somehow only added to the excitement lol, I was on the edge of my seat a couple of times it has to be said. We had a little confusion with getting the tickets but once we had them we were away, we even got our picture taken with the mascot which I am sure helen will post on her blog when she gets the chance. During the times the players had their breaks some children came on and had a min hockey game- it was so funny, they would fall and slide all over the place and just get up and carry on- it did make us laugh. The whole day has been great fun!
