Monday 12th January- I can’t believe it!!

Noel awoke early at around 0600 hrs and then remembered that the Manchester United versus Chelsea game was live on the television this morning from 0500. Anyway he missed the first half and then realised that he should have missed the whole game and stayed in bed. What a dismal performance from the so called Chelsea superstars. They really did not turn up for the match although I do understand that yet again the team hotel set off the fire alarms at about 0600 hours on Sunday morning, this has happened nearly every year that Chelsea stay in a hotel for their Man United games.
Anyway this is no excuse and someone should dock their wages for the way they played and I feel sorry for the supporters who travelled up to the Northern wilderness to witness such a damning sight.
It was so bad that Noel then went back to bed again for about one an a half hours to recover from the shock.
So our walk was a little later than usual and as it was also a full moon last night there was such a high tide that it was not possible to walk on the sand and so we walked along the grass next to the sand instead.
The afternoon comprised of a quick trip to Coopers Beach for Noel to visit the chemist to get some pills, which took much longer than expected as he got chatting to the nurse and learnt almost her complete life story.
The roast sirloin joint was enjoyed with a good bottle of Merlot and put us in a good mood for tonight’s big film, whatever it was. In the end we watched the Bruce Willis film DIE HARD this film was made in 1988 and no doubt has just reached this part of the world. It looks quite old fashioned now and with some glaring mistakes throughout on continuity. One minute the cop is on the floor covered in blood and shirt stained and a minute later he has a clean new shirt and no blood anywhere. Wow the powers of recovery for Hollywood actors are absolutely amazing.
