life as it is

1. Getting efficient now, caught up with the washing . Casting an eye all over the house seeing it in new eyes, beginning to like the place. 2. Postman approves and loves my big yellow reflective house number. He thinks it’s a good idea. I explained that it’s the other couriers I have problems with not him . 3. My used to be out door cat , spent the night out all night she came in with a smile one her face I am sure she was smiling.

1. Seeing my little granddaughter who is such a sweetheart, she loved playing with her uncles toy cars. 2. Filled up my freezer after defrosting it the other day. A job worth doing in this hot weather. Defrosting it that is. 3. Sorting out two problems in one big swoop. The joys of technology.

1. I couldn’t get a bright flashing red house number for my house , instead I got a bright yellow reflective one. So fed up with parcels going to other houses because the couriers cannot see my normal house no! So no excuses now. My normal house no you can see with no problem at all. 2. Done one of my least favourite job defrosting the freezer. Now to fill it up. 3. Putting out the throws and blankets to get an good airing in this nice hot weather.

1. After the blistering heat the evening coolness is a welcome relief. 2. Went to my favourite cafe and the young man who works there put my coffee and tea for my daughter on the tray without me asking for it. We never change our order .  So that’s fine with me and he is a sweetheart one of the lovely young men you don’t here about. 3. Had a blueberry danish and I am not a lover of blueberries but it was good damn good!

Sitting by the opened patio door in the early morning relishing the early morning cool, before the heat hits a bit later. I do not do hot as in hot, some people do but not this one. Some people look cool as a cucumber in the heat , me I more of a boiled beetroot. Think I done the right thing by changing my placement still early days but I am liking it very much .

1. A giraffe flew above us while we were in the garden a rather large one at that, just wondering if it came from a display and it got loose. 2. One garden shed built in one day looks simple but had a few problems, but it is done. 3. Hedges done not mine but done . Glad to go back to work really been busy this weekend.

1. Finally getting myself into a routine just a little one, but it is helping in the morning actually getting the boring jobs out of the way quickly. 2. Found another cookery book which is my favourite online so bought it , then will send it to my son. And it was very reasonable in price. 3. Returned to crochet, doing plain squares in 2 colours for 3 rounds , can do this pattern in my sleep. Next item I will make will be a cardigan done in squares but rather lacy squares. Must get out of my comfort zone concerning knitting and crochet.

1. Eldest son was in messenger mode earlier lovely to hear from him. 2. Just a plain jacket potato with butter , salt and pepper. Sometimes the simplest things are the best. 3. The cats turned up their noses to their new blanket! So the one I am making is for me and I bet anything you like once it’s completed they will want it.

1. For the first time in 6 years I didn’t go to work in the late afternoon , now that I finished my evening job. Felt funny maybe that’s why I was a bit grumpy. 2. My mother complimented me on my haircut, not very often I get one from her very rare in fact. I just found the best hairdresser in ages . 3. My eldest son is into cooking now, so bought him a cookbook and be sending him it soon as he is overseas at the moment. Still thinking of sending my favourite cookery book with most of his favourite dishes but I see how he goes first with the one I am going to send him. Not sure if I can part with it, but I might be able to find an other online .

Done the right thing by moving to an other job . Been busy since I first started. I think that I got so much into my comfort zone I just lost zest for life. Hopefully I will stay there for a long time. The people who I work with are really nice and other staff who don’t work in the department are really nice. So l hope all works well.

Leaving my placement in one hospital, but going to an other hospital where I am going to be more busy. Hard decision to make but I know but it had to be done. Had an upsetting incident recently by someone who is on a written warning but that made no difference with them, they be getting an other one have put in my complaint. They done it to quite a few people and they have to be stopped before something really bad happens, that made me make my mind to leave.

1. Been offered an extra day in a new post now deciding to whether give my old post up in the evenings. But am taking time to make up my mind must do the right thing for me. 2. Tried a new crochet square lovely as it was, it was quite fiddly to do so going to save that for a later but quieter time. 3. Falling in love with the colour old gold for clothes makes a change fron always blue. Daughter shall be pleased, she fed up with me in blue most of the time.

1. Youngest son has been working as a night controller in a breakdown recovery office for the past couple of weeks ,he is now home for a little break, he has been staying with his sister in that time. 2. Finished knitted squares , made them up into a blanket for the blind cat, now having problems deciding what to do next either knit or crochet. 3. My calico cat is sitting next to me giving me the evil eye because she thinks I am ignoring her but I am not as it’s thursday I do paperwork . So afterwards I will make a fuss.

1. Mint m&m’s  ooh ooh so lovely. 2. One more minute nanny one more minute nanny when I tried to help her get get dressed, my little granddaughter. 3. Bed early tonight as been up extra early these past few days due to new placement and my lovely granddaughter but so worth it!

1. Went to my new placement. Love it. Lovely people to work with. I know it’s early days but trying to be positive. 2. Spent an afternoon with my 3 girls. Hadn’t seen my eldest granddaughter for a little while, boy she is tall now. 3. Daughter and eldest granddaughter are on a school trip tomorrow and guess who got youngest granddaughter yes me! Looking forward to it. I wonder what fun we will get up to?

1. Meal went well with friends. Had a laugh. Had a bit to much to drink. But not to much. 2. Nice being out late in the evening . Not often i do that. Made a change. 3. Trying out a new gin to me a bulldog, Bombay still my favourite, but it was nice to try a new one.

1. Saw a really handsome young man. The sort who thinks he is not handsome. Which makes him a really a lovely person. That’s my logic. 2. Going out for dinner tonight not sure about it though meeting up with friends more his friends than mine. 3. Re-reading a book by Josephine Tey about Richard lll , fell in love reading about him when I was on jury service.
