I hadn’t really intended to update today as I couldn’t think of anything to write about, but now I’m here…
I’ve been addicted to watching belly dance videos on www.youtube.com. I think the more I do belly dancing, the more addicted I become. I found a lovely CD of belly dancing music at www.cdbaby.com. They [...]

Well, one bit done
Posted in home, tagged lawn on 24 September, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
The sun didn’t shine today but at least it hasn’t rained – yet. So I managed to finish mowing the front. It takes almost as long to do the bit by the road as it does to do the lawn at the front of the house! And when I say finish – the lawnmower decided [...]

My title might seem superfluous. Of course it’s brighter when the sun shines – but of course I mean my mood. We’ve had a week of cold and wet and I was feeling depressed. Didn’t look forward to work at all and came home to chores that seemed neverending.

Today was one of those days when I ask myself “what the hell am I doing here?” at work. Not content with taking away more staff, leaving us short-staffed – they give us more to do. Now jobs that were done once a day are being requested twice a day. Too bad about the jobs [...]
