Oh what a beautiful Morning, Oh what a beautiful day la la la la......

Up early as usual this morning (5:30am) to take Scot to work, it still feels weird when I say that or write it down since he's just 13 but he needs to know that if he wants things then he has to work for them same as me. I have worked since I was about 10, used to work on the market, and help the milk man etc and have worked solid since leaving school, I reckon it will instil a good work ethic in him, I couldn't bear to think of him not ever working. My own brother hasn't worked at all since leaving school and he's 35 its a disgrace...anyway enough waffling. Scot and I are going into Manchester today to have a look at the newly opened parts of the Arndale Centre, probably sounds boring to most people but since I spent 11 years of my working life in the old Arndale I'm really interested to see what it looks like. Also it will be interesting to see what stands on the part where McDonald's used to be, I'm sure I'll probably find it a bit sad as it always brings back memories of old mates etc also its where my friend Mark died, he got electrocuted at McDs , nearly 14 years ago in October and it still makes me sad that he died, they played November Rain by Guns n Roses at his funeral and I still can't bear to listen to that weird innit....Manchester City centre has got so many memories for me but sadly since the IRA bombed Manchester all the lovely old pubs and building have been replaced, it does look stunning I have to admit but its lost its character, I love all the backstreets and looking up at old buildings and trying to imagine what it was like living then, I love all the nutters that used to spend all day in the arndale centre causing chaos hehehe they can't anymore as they took all the seats away its dead tight, there used to be this really big woman with loads of make up on that would push her husband round in a wheelchair singing opera, flippin heck I used to love it when she came into McDs as she would row with people for nothing really entertaining stuff..there is nothing better than people watching especially when those people are crackpots lol.

Need to get off here really as I should be preparing my talk for church and keep getting sidetracked.

In a bit!!!
