I was not impressed with my breakfast this morning but it was Mandi's choice of venue today as she doesn't like to eat a fry up and always like to go for a healthier and less greasy option. What passed as a full English in this cafe left a lot to be desired as they seemed to be trying too hard, especially as it was on a square plate, it could have been worse I suppose given that some places use chopping boards or paving stones. The sad thing is that it is a nice place with friendly staff and from what I could see from the other meals being brought out I think I just got unlucky, if you're ever in Blackpool you could do worse than Number 5.
We had tickets to an exhibition called Illuminasia at the Winter Gardens. Not knowing what to expect I imagined it would be similar to my past experiences with art galleries and the like, that I would pretend to be interested for as long as my patience ran out before leaving Mandi to it and whizzing round looking at everything quickly and going out for a cigarette. However this was unlike anything I have ever seen before, mainly because I had never seen large things made out of Chinese lanterns before, just go and see it if you can.
I had been looking forward to finding the new statue of Morecambe and Wise that has been erected in Blackpool, and had packed my kazoo in the hope of making a video of me serenading them with a blast of 'Bring Me Sunshine' as a follow up to last year's 'Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside' in a Brighton bandstand. It was only after I looked it up in the hotel room that I realised that the statue is inside the Winter Gardens and for some reason I felt very shy of performing as a lot of people were there to see Eric and Ernie and take photographs. The sad thing is in retrospect is that I bet they would have loved it, (the people in the building I mean - I wasn't suggesting that M&W might be watching from Heaven because I don't believe in that sort of thing), you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.
