We have been on hooliday to Duinrell in Holland and it was a bit pants. It really was v. butlinsesq and hugely hugely expensive. Holland seemed an ugly country as we drove through it, Wassenaar certainly was ugly – the whole towns housing looked like council housing – every street looked the same, there was nothing old and quirky – it was all ugly. Grafitti litters the motorways in a big big way. Dh decided to impart the fact that it was the Dutch who invented the speed camera.

Had i known that earlier i may have declined to go to Holland on principle.

there was a theme park on the park itself with big rides and also a swimming pool with lots of water slides – i could only go swimmin on the last day of the holiday <taps nose with a wink>  so i missed all that really and the kids didn’t overly use the pool.

DD was really good to me. she came with me on all the rides – and thats really nice of her to accompany her owd mam on stuff. we went on the baby pirate ship  a couple of times.  its really quite scary you know. there was a huge splash thing where you lierally went down a huge drop and then got pissed wet through. joseph came with me on another ride – well i went with him too – the twins were both too shit scared  - DS eventually caved at the end of the week and went on it – it was like one of those magic carpet rides but it didn’t go side to side  it went forwars backwards twirling and twirling high up and low down – stopping whilst hanging you upside down – great fun.

the evening entertainment was shit. little kids dancing to ’superman’ and some wanky dutch song – there was a rendition of greese as acted and sung by the animaters – we decided to give that a miss  – fking wanna be actors – yawn.

they did have a casino night – and dh thought that he was going to be skint – but it was just for fun. and i totally wasted everyone at the carribbean 5 card stud poker. eventually i put all my chips in and then folded – becuase dh was pissed and i didn’t really want him making a tit of himself – he had already kicked over two pints under the casino table!

that was the only night he got drunk all holiday – which, for him is a real effort. This huge effort is based on ‘the scrawny pool whore’ incident.

a couple of weeks before holiday we decided to go out to get pissed. i make no bones about it – we dont go out for a ‘drink’ we go out – play pool get pissed – its what we do.   We hadn’t long moved in to our new house and i was happy. then there was a scrawny pool whore incient – i detailed it before but something crashed as i dont want to do it again

drums are good

work is bad

Holy MCfuck  – only housing situation tenuous and i can help with that.

off to get dressed to go to tesco – am making curry for sunday tea
