Big Weekend Coming Up
I’ve got a big weekend coming up, its Super League Grand Final weekend and Gareth and I are gonna be there, we are off to Manchester on the train tomorrow, the game itself is tomorrow night at Old Trafford Stadium and then we’re staying overnight in a Hotel. We will come home on the train again on Sunday and then I’ve got a holiday in for Monday to make it a nice long weekend so I can catch up on some rest before going back to work on Tuesday.
This week started off fairly badly for me, I was feeling a bit of stress at work early this week and it was getting me down a little, as the week has wore on though, I’ve had a few less meetings, I’ve been able to catch up with the workload and of course its got closer to the weekend so the feelings of stress have eased off a bit. The tickets for the Grand Final arrived on Wednesday and of course I already had the hotel booked so my mind was set at rest for the coming weekend being all sorted and ready.
So to the weekend then, well this evening is as per normal, just enjoying whatever joys the TV brings us, then tomorrow, probably fairly early I will have to get some shopping in, I say probably fairly early coz of course we will be getting the train to Manchester sometime around midday I’m guessing, maybe a little earlier, haven’t really checked the times yet. Then Gareth and I will get the train to Manchester, we will no doubt get off at Salford Crescent, its handy for walking to our hotel, the Ramada, Salford Quays.
We will book into the hotel and after checking out the room we will probably head off to Salford Quays to potter around for the afternoon and no doubt get something to eat. In the evening we will make our way to Old Trafford Stadium and enjoy the atmosphere of the Grand Final and hopefully witness a great game of rugby between Leeds Rhinos and Saint Helens, its a shame Wigan Warriors didn’t make it but perhaps next year. After the game we will try our best to find our way back to the hotel. If its anything like last year we’ll probably watch the game again on the TV in the hotel room and no doubt we’ll get very little if any sleep.
We return home to Barrow on the train on Sunday, I’m guessing we will arrive home around midday, and then its a normal Sunday from there on till my sons go home to Carole in the evening.
On Tuesday, instead of going back to work I’ve put a days holiday in, I intend to sleep in a bit and probably get some rest, other than that it rather depends on the weather, I have the day to myself so can do pretty much whatever I want, you never know I may even get out with my camera, I do by the way have my camera battery on charge right now ready for the weekend, I may just get some snaps. Then the long weekend will come to an end as I go back into work on Tuesday 
So that’s it, that’s the plan for this long weekend, well what plan there is anyway, I’m really looking forward to it, I will of course be reporting on most aspects of the weekend in future posts here on my blog. Anyway that’s all, I’ll say bye for now folks and see ya next time.
