Off On Holiday

PLEASE NOTE

If you found this entry by way of a ‘dofollow’ link list, please leave now. I do not approve comments from people looking for freebie link backs, and all links to URLs left by people I don’t know are automatically nofollowed. You’re wasting your time.

I’ll be leaving for Prestatyn, Wales tomorrow to spend a long weekend at the Presthaven Sands holiday park hopefully enjoying some sunshine and long walks on the beach. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the sunshine, of course, because the last time Karl and I went away it rained all weekend and I had to walk around wearing a giant orange condom (poncho).

Anyway, during this time I’ll be placing all comments in moderation (starting tomorrow morning) and my guestbook and guestblock will be password protected. This is because I’m a miserable bugger. Actually, no, it’s just so I don’t have to deal with as much spam when I get back. Toodle-oo!

Warning

This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.

As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.

Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

    Have a nice holiday, I’ve been to prestatyn! I walked from the mountain we were staying on all the way to the sea. My friend Mark said it would be a good idea, at 3am. 1 hour later and some severe sobering up, we decided it wasn’t such a good idea, so had a nap on the beach before returning. My comments are in capitals because I forgot to give them a class tag, so they went to the default caps thing I had set. I’m to lazy to mess around with it at the moment… heheh

    Oooh, have fun! And good luck with the weather! Right now it’s my spring break and I’m dancing in NYC or sitting on my behind at the computer. But I did get my hair cut, so that’s okay. :P See you soon!

    I’ve heard about a bar in Prestatyn that dates back to 1662 and was granted licence by King Edward II. Talk about a town steeped in history, things like this just don’t exist in the US. I also heard a decent amount about ghosts in the town, but I’ve never been one to believe such things. Maybe seeing one would change my mind :)
