Today was pleasant

It was our 9th wedding anniversary, we have been together 16yrs mind, but it took me a while to get the cuffs on :DD

we werent sure what to do, he had the day off and we didnt want to spend it sitting around the house all day, but we had limited time as we did have the tumble dryer coming at 2pm and so we decided to go to the Anglican cathedral inliverpool and whats more we were goign to do the `tower experience` which involves 2 lifts and 108 steps, 8|

it seemed such a good idea when we first thought about it, lovley clear day see for miles etc, ut 20 steps up i was wondering if the ambulance was coming 50 steps up i looked like a beetroot, and 70 steps up it suddenly dawned on me why i was dying the diet im on has the sum total of under 500 cals a day and i had used all of them and my body was screamng for mercy,

but when we arrived at the top, and i had my breath back, the views were spectacular, although i suddenly remembered i was a little wary of heights, lol a little late when your 500 feet above sea level, but none the less a great experince,
the inside of the cathedral was stunning i have always loved architecture, i knwo buggar all about it other than i like to look at buildings. you wonder how they make these fantastic arches and ceiling,

while we were there i spent the whole time whispering lol its an ingrained thing about not speaking out loud, mark reckons its cos i swear too much and was scared of being heard, he may have a point, ;)

Wow lovely views.

I still haven't got over the day I went to Warwick Castle and went up the tower. I nearly fainted before I got to the top. When I did eventually get to the top I needed oxygen. There was no handrail, the stairs went round really steeply (all 5000) and there was no turning back with a queue of people behind you.

Glad you had a good day. Happy Anniversary.

p.s that was about 10 years ago and I still remember it now ;)
