Happy little day, Kevin went away
Met his little Sarah on a public holiday
A happy pair they made, so decorously laid
'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade

We went to Brighton for the weekend leaving the kids with Sarah's mum. Actually it wasn't a whole weekend - just one night. It was a wedding present from work which was nice. We couldn't stay in the hotel we stayed at last time we went down there because they would only accept bookings for two nights so we had booked into the King's Hotel on the seafront.

Considering how much it cost us the room was very pokey and although we had a window that faced the sea there was only a seaview if you opened the window and bent down to squint through the open four inches. The main window was so dirty that you couldn't see through it. It was also a good job we didn't take the moggie because there wasn't enough room to swing it. It was a shame really because it was a nice little hotel otherwise - I'm sure I'd stayed there before with work.

We ate in the little Italian restaurant we ate in last time and although we thought about going on to a club afterwards we were knackered and it was cold so we just headed back to the hotel for an early night

Sunday we went for a walk along the seafront and I took some photographs before we headed into town and looked round the shops in the Lanes. I bought a t-shirt with the logo "My IQ test came back negative" written on it and some postcards. We had lunch and then headed back to pick up the kids.

We were lucky because the choir Sarah's mum is involved in were on a TV show called "When will I be famous" and had won the previous week which meant they had to go back and compete again on Saturday. However Sarah's mum had told them that she couldn't let us down. We were just about to leave when an emergency phone call came through saying that they had left the lucky moose behind and Sarah's mum had to do a mercy dash from Croydon to Norbury with it's twin brother. Although the moose made it - as mentioned by Graham Norton on the show - Libera lost to a man dressed as a tie-dyed slinky!!
