So, I’ve been really busy at work, putting many long shifts in... But guess what... It’s July 11th, and I’ve just got my arse to Manhattan for a much needed holiday... Just booked into the Sheraton... Quick cuppa while me phone charges... Then a nice stroll round Central Park first!

Cheers Jay!

Bit lagged like, only had 3 1/2 hours kip last night, had to travel from Chester to Durham lastnight on the train, took the wrong bloody train in York and ended up in Doncaster like a muppet, was up at 3am this morning, to get to Newcastle airport, there to Heathrow and then on to JFK!

It's only 2pm here and I'm completely shattered!

So, nice walk around the park, track a watering hole down, especially one that will have the World Cup final on... Then off to the scratcher for the lad me thinks ready to pound the streets of the big apple tomorrow!

Cool! Enjoy!

Why'd did you go to Newcastle airport and not straight to Heathrow?

Are you there with some mates?

Well, I'm up... Proper solid sleep, only quarter to six though but that by the time I have a coffee, shower... I'll be ready to venture out!

I booked it donkeys ago steve, and the job I have, I could be anywhere in the UK, I booked it when I was in Derby doing the bridges, since then, I've been to Birmingham, Manchester, Scotland (falkirk and Glasgow) and currently working in Chester, the problem with my firm (USL) is that for some strange reason they only tell you were your going next the Friday before the Monday!

I'm doing the Indie travelling thing... I don't mind actually, would never do a sun holiday on my jack jones, but for New York, it's just the ticket... I can go wherever I want, see what I want... And I'll literally talk to anyone, so... Just the jobby!

Well... Me last night over here... Been eventful, think jay and Steve can confirm I've had a proper adventure... Think I've fallen in love with manhattan more this time then last... Gonna miss the place, but, as with these thing... The funniest thing has just happened...

I was walking into my hotel room with bags of shopping, where, I tripped on a molecule of oxygen that was about a billionths of a millimetre off the carpet... Next thing I know... Bags flying all over as I was cartwheeling across the room, I banged into the table and knocked my ipad off there, in the haste of trying to catch it, you know, when you do that juggling thing... I accidentally put my pass code in, unlocking it... Even more bizarrely while doing the juggler nonsense, I managed to input the URL "lastminute.com" and ended up with a holiday to New York on the 12 September for 7 nights at the Amsterdam Court in the shopping cart... I put it back on the table and collected up the shopping... Decided to put some radio on... And fuck me, the Hokey Cokey came on, couldn't help myself, so, stuck my right leg in, right leg out, in out in out shake it all about... Wasn't much fun on my own, so, face timed Gordon Brown and there we were, giving it the auld ra ra ra... As I was dancing with my ipad, forgetting lastminute was still on safari, I inadvertently confirmed the holiday and what's the chances of this... Logged into my account there, added my card security number... And... And... Ended up buying the holiday!!!!!

Is it me, or is that just plain surreal or what... It's like... Fate!

And I swear on the lives of the bacterium that's making my new trainers pong... It's all true*
