Its Guinness time any day of the week.
Today me and Mrs Oakiecokie,celebrate our 40th (Ruby) Wedding Anniversary so we decided to get away for a couple of days in Llandudno,arriving Friday dinner time until Sunday evening,or that was the plan.
Had a wonderful Friday night as one of the finest blues pianists and his band were on in Llandudno, Jules Holland.
Saturday morning we decided to go to Betws ce Coed (SP) having had a wonderful full English breakfast.Ups we trot to our sea view bedroom,getting our stuff togther for a nice day out.
Two steps from the bottom of the stairs and the missus decides to fall down them.She hurt her back and her foot,but eventually after help from the hotel staff,managed to walk gingerly to our car.
We ended up in the A & E Dept at Llandudno,where test revealed that she had bruising to the bottom of her back and also a broken foot, which required a soft plaster cast and a foot support.
Suffice to say, walking for her was a nightmare so we cut short our weekend break and arrived back into Winsford 24 hours earlier than planned.
A lovely start for her 2 week hols, and she also faces 6 weeks on the club.
Ah well I`ll have to go as I need toi do the washing,ironing,hoovering,dusting,cookery BUT I will NOT do any washing up (of the plates) as it just makes me want to spew up.
40 years and the GreatTrain Robbers never did that sort of sentence.
Good job I still love her to bits.

I look into my crystal ball and see a big claim against the hotel, settled out of court.

;-)

Hopefully Mrs oakie will soon be on the mend. And FFS; man up and wash those bloody dishes.

I can gut fish and things like that Jim,but honestly I would retch at even the thought of washing up.Uuuurrrgggghhhhhhh.
She`s not a bad `un mate and we actually went out together at school,way back in the mid 1960`s.
A settlement you say.Strokes chin and nods in approval.

With it being my 65th in January and going away to Cuba,we decided just to make it a nice quiet weekend away.
The hotel was superb and we`ll certainly be going back there in the future.Are you looking at a weekend away or are you going to "push the boat out" and sod the expense ?

Don't know Oakie, going to Florida in November so I think it's a toss up between a weekend away or a family do. Somewhere cold with snow Mrs saddle worth thinks. Cuba sounds good. Some of the best fly fishing in the world!
 
"Celebrated" mine last Sunday with a bottle of Ruby port.

Unfortunately, my good lady passed away 5 years ago, so it was a bit of a damp squib. Would have been her 64th birthday last Friday. Then to top it all, my "kid" (aged 63) brother died last Wednesday!!

Congrats Oakie, at least you made it. Hope your good lady recovers quickly.
Now, where's that advert for "Had an accident in the last 3 years and it wasn't your fault?"
