Cracking weekend..

No I'm not talking about the fishing, that's still crap. The Aitch's had Andy and Liz over this weekend from Loughborough. Andy and I used to work together at Leicester and Kettering and along with another "muskateer" have remained firm friends ever since despite him being a gooner.

Aidan was particularly upset when they left tonight, he's been spoilt rotten all weekend. It was there 22nd wedding aniversary on Friday so I cooked starter and main and Mrs Aitch cooked the pud. Super time had by all culminating in a cooked breakie and a walk to Mundesley and back along the beach today. A regular visitor to the stretch behind the gas site was struggling, she hadn't had a bite. I've seen her with another lady along there many times and they usually winkle one or two out. She said she'd had some nice bass earlier in the year and some good flounders up on the shingle but nothing much lately, how it is for us all I guess, roll on the winter.

I really should've taken my camera today, there was a lovely dying surf on the bank and as low water approached lots of interesting gulleys and "holes" in the bank were clearly visible. Of course one good blow and its all change again, still it looks really fishy at the minute, about as Mr Crabtree as our beaches get. Bloody huge headless seal on the beach just north of Castaway's steps too, Aidan wanted to take a picture so he could paste it into his school morning book and write about it. Why he can't just write about his nice weekend is beyond me, morbid little hound.

Lego Land Windsor beckons tomorrow and promises to knock holes into an already empty wallet, it's the last family jolly for this year as Aidan's back at school Wednesday (praise the lord). I want to get out towards the end of the week, though if there's nothing much to inspire I may do a Genocide and go into work and save some holidays, christ there's no hope for me.

Some of the boys are off to Ireland on this coming set of new moon tides, I'm going to do a mystic meg and predict they'll slay 'em, not just because the lads are top quality but because the weather and tides look good. I also think we'll have a few round here on the same tides, but they'll only get caught if we get out there and fish for them!

I can upload video now so in these dark days before the proper fishing starts I'm going to trawl through my tapes and see what I've got. I'm certain somewhere I have Genocide doing a river dance back in the days when I could cast as far as him, I'll see what I can find. Don't anybody panic, I'll get relevant permissions before I post them as I'm sure there may well be incriminating footage of me somewhere...
