Why is it when I take a much-needed mental health day off, I get inundated with visitors and phone calls? Some podgy woman in a sleeveless top looking cold (stupid woman) knocked on my door. I had no idea who she was but I refused to answer the door. I was in no mood to [...]

Mood: melancholy
Listening to: Coldplay
Well, actually I’m trying to write a report due next week. But I’m glad I took the day off work. I couldn’t face it today. I even dreamed about ringing up work and fibbing that I was sick. In the dream I even looked at the clock waiting for it to reach [...]

Mood: miserable
Listening to: something celtic – Capercaillie I think
I really should take note of it. I knew when I ordered the coin scarf online that I would probably never see it. Not to disappoint, I haven’t heard from the company about delivery and they haven’t responded to my emails. The company I paid through appears [...]
Die Siedler von Catan

Listening to: Tool
or just plain ‘Siedler’ as I know it aka “Settlers of Catan”. Great game and I’m addicted. Every time I go to my brother’s place we play it several times. I don’t have it myself and in any case you need at least three players.
But! I saw a computer copy as I [...]
Ugh

Feeling a little nauseous. I flung together some rice and egg and it just doesn’t taste that great. I’ve been out every night this week so haven’t had a decent meal. Last night was chips, a piece of cheese and some chocolate stuff. The night before was soup and toast or was that the night [...]
Busy

We’ve had a cutback in staff over the past year and yet we’re expected to do the same and more. So when one person is off sick or on annual leave it makes things difficult for the rest. So I got back to work after a week off and had stuff to catch up on, [...]
Ooo err

So the owners are selling up? I don’t blame them but I do hope the new owners don’t change anything – none of the good features that is. I do like this blog site and wouldn’t want to have to leave it if any changes are just not to my liking. It’s happened before. When I [...]

Ho hum. Back to the grind.
I’ve had a relaxing week off. Should have got more work done but I did achieve some things.
My younger daughter’s having a weekend of friends. Last night two of her friends stayed over and left this morning and 2 more arrived this afternoon. Then she’s off on Monday to [...]

I had a busy weekend. Headed down to Wellington on the Saturday for a meeting then met my older daughter. We had lunch in Courtenay Place - tried out the new Burger place then headed over to the Reading mall for bubble tea (an iced Chinese tea with balls of sweet gelatine in it). Then it was [...]
What a day

Started off horridly and ended up ok. I was in a bit of a grump this morning – just one of those days, I thought. Got to work to find N had taken a sicky again and he’s only just got back from a holiday in Australia. I was not impressed. He’s been taking at [...]
