Contradiction

Cal — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 19:45:00 GMT

After a nice, slow and quiet weekend it was back to work to a hot, noisy and for once quite hectic place. The air conditioning still seems reluctant to work, the alterations are moving on apace after nothing much seeming to go on and for once t

Funny

Cal — Sat, 19 Jul 2008 22:32:00 GMT

A hunt for clothes this morning by Mum and I was no more successful than my last couple of attempts have been. It's so frustrating when what you think of as something quite ordinary to wear just doesn't seem to be something any shop any

Expensive

Cal — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:46:00 GMT

One of the things I love about this time of year is all the lovely homegrown soft fruit there is to eat such as strawberries and cherries. We've just eaten our fill of the latter this evening. And they do like to lecture and lect

When is not a good time to find out that a part of one of the ribs of your umbrella has snapped? When it suddenly starts to pour with rain as it did this afternoon. I was making my way into town after work to go and buy myself a new suitc

Relaxing

Cal — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:20:00 GMT

Why are the weekends so short! It seems no time between finishing work and going back again. However long or short I enjoyed my usual lazy Sunday. Reading the papers, watching a bit of television including an old film, Ghostbus

Hairdressers and drizzle

Cal — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:10:00 GMT

Finally Friday has arrived after a l-o-n-g week! And with it came a trip to the hairdressers, not my favourite occupation. I was able to get an appointment at quite short notice and it wasn't very busy when I got there. Not the

Cal — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:06:00 GMT

After all the fuss and bother at the beginning of the week it was a very quiet morning at work, good in that there were no alarms going off and bad in that there was very little do to and no students around. Afterwards I headed into t

Alarms, alarms, alarms

Cal — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 14:43:00 GMT

I didn't get my usual full night's sleep last night so I felt rather tired when I got to work but I soon got woken up! Just after 10.00 the fire alarm went off and we all trooped outside into the cold and drizzle - just another lovely S

Finals

Cal — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 22:33:00 GMT

A day spent in front of the television today and it was well spent. First there was a lot of tennis to watch, although I have to admit we didn't watch the Ladies' Final as we didn't like either player instead we watched some enterta

Mix

Cal — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 22:02:00 GMT

The morning was very slow at work today. Partly because there wasn't much of interest to do and partly because it was so very hot and stuffy in there again. When the morning was finally done I was off for lunch with my

Hot

Cal — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 22:05:00 GMT

It was a quiet if noisy day at work. After nothing much seeming to happen with the new layout and all the related happenings today it was definitely easy to tell work was going on - noisily. And the new layout is beginning to be

Lazy

Cal — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 19:28:00 GMT

A day for reading newspapers and watching some television today as it wasn't a day for going out. A little sun was followed by a lot of rain. So after a late breakfast, it was the newspapers and then this afternoon the omnibus of East

Rain and rain

Cal — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 22:46:00 GMT

A surprisingly busy day at work but even with that the morning passed very slowly. It was odd to actually have people there and to have queues at one point on the desk after how quiet it's been lately. Then finally it was out and home

It is so dull at work at the minute and quite irritating too. The novelty of things looking so different has well and truely worn out and everyone is sick of the extra walking we are having to do. They say walking is very good exercise fo

I hurried home from work this afternoon and settled myself down for some tennis. And great tennis it was and great weather too, wonderful sunshine and no rain!I had a little mishap with my back yesterday that made me wonder first of all if I wo

Wimbledon

Cal — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:11:00 GMT

Everyone who knows me knows what the next two weeks mean, tennis, specifically Wimbledon which starts on Monday. I will be glued to the television from when I get home until the last ball is struck. The BBC's coverage is gre

Food sun and rain

Cal — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 22:07:00 GMT

It was the library picnic today. We had to have it in a different place as the room we usually use was housing staff who had had to leave their usual desks because of all the work being done. That meant no sitting outside not that we coul

Finding things

Cal — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:06:00 GMT

It has been so cold today which naturally means the air conditioning has come on at work. If it hasn't then we have a lot of draughts blowing around! Not that it's such a bad thing having it cool at the minute as the upheaval arou

Another weekend has gone by. As usual it seems to have gone by far too fast. This weekend we've been trying to get to grips with a new cooker, bought very quickly after our old one suddenly decided to give up and start leaking.

Dusty

Cal — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 18:52:00 GMT

It's finally Friday after a very long week! And today at work was a mixture of the very quiet and the very dusty. The quiet because it was the last day of term and the dusty because the move preparing for the new issue desks has begun

All change

Cal — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:31:00 GMT

They began moving all the shelving units at work today that stand behind the issue desks, ready for the big changes that are coming. Consequently nobody could find anything and when anyone did want anything the question was where is...fill in t

It's been another gloriously sunny day today for us. In fact if anything it was a little too sunny and hot which only shows that you definitely can't please people!. It's time to get the sunblock. Much as I lik

No lunch out for me today and not much doing so it's been a lazy restful day with some fresh air sitting outside enjoying the wonderful sunshine we have had. The only exertion today was deciding which horse to bet on in the Derby. Unf

A combination of lack of sleep last night and very hot day today made for a very tired person! By the time I got to work this morning I was ready to turn round and come back home again. But a busy morning waited for me including a meeting

Annoyed again

Cal — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:29:00 GMT

My diet got a little bit broken today when I went out and bought myself some chocolate. Well, it was one of those days and made the annoying day last week seem like nothing. First of all I found out that my shoes are not waterproof and I
