Cal — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:12:00 GMT

It was down to some serious Christmas shopping this morning. Yesterday Mum and I did a little and today I went into town with Dad to buy some presents for Mum. We did a lot of walking and a lot of carrying heavy bags. We also had a

Cal — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:42:00 GMT

I'm on holiday now for the rest of the week and as usual when waiting to start some time off the morning dragged a little. It wasn't so bad this morning as part of it was taken up with a short workshop that everyone is going on. I

I had a busy morning at work with lots of walking followed by even more walking in town this afternoon. But first, after work, I had a stop at Marks for some lunch, a lovely plateful of sausage and mash. Then I spent a coupl

Switching

I was supposed to be going out for lunch on Saturday but my friend had to cancel. So I spent most of the weekend transferring all the various photos and documents off my old computer onto my new laptop. I hadn't realised just how

Guy Fawkes

There are still a few fireworks going off although most of them have finished. There was a really good display this year even if some of them were so loud they were rather alarming ! We enjoyed ours and the sparklers we had and

I took a half-hour's flexi at work today and left early to meet Mum. We wanted to get started on some serious shopping for Christmas. Today it was lots of bits and pieces rather than presents and we came away with a fair bit, car

Cold

Cal — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:26:00 GMT

The start of another week but work was very busy and the morning sped by. For once it was quite nice that it was so warm in the library as after some torrential rain and very grey skies it was lovely and sunny and crisp but very cold

There is finally plenty to do at work which would be fine but along with that has gone much higher temperatures outside and heating on inside. It all makes for not the nicest conditions to work in! The weather may be warmer but

Dull

Cal — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 22:21:00 GMT

It has been quite a long week this week, partly because work is still not very busy so the time drags. The weather has gone from lovely and crisp to dull and damp as well which makes it that much more difficult to get up in the morning. B

Blue and gold

We finally have some good Autumn weather to match all the lovely colours the trees are turning! It's sunny and crisp today instead of the dreary, drizzly damp weather we have had all week. And a long week it was too, being back at wor

We had an early start on the first day of our holiday with two train journeys that day to get us to Paris. By late morning we were in London and it was a short stroll across to St Pancras for the Eurostar. The trip through the tunnel was

We had a great time on Saturday was the actual day of Mum and Dad's 50th anniversary. To celebrate we had a special cake, champagne, flowers and a lovely dinner in the evening. After all our travels and all that celebrating, Sund

Great time

Cal — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:31:00 GMT

We got back from our holiday in Nice yesterday and I can't believe it went so fast! We had a terrific time, the weather was fabulous, perhaps a little too fabulous, the hotel was great and Nice was a lovely place. We walked, shop

Holiday again

Cal — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:55:00 GMT

Work went surprisingly quickly this morning. It was quite busy but even so I expected it to drag as I was waiting to start my holiday. And now we are all packed and ready to go. The weather looks great for Nice which is good as it&#

The house is full of the most lovely smells as this afternoon Mum and I made the Christmas cake. It's a job we really enjoy even though it takes some time to do and has a lot of ingredients. But right now it's out and waiting to b

It was into town after work today for lunch with my friend. This will be our last midweek lunch as term starts next week and it gets too crowded when the students are back. We usually sit outside but today without hesitation we decid

It's so hard to get up in the mornin when it's as dull as it was today - on top of it being Monday! The grey clouds are back in spite of us being promised more of the lovely sunny weather we had last week. It's very n

Lazy

Cal — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:52:00 GMT

Even after a week that didn't actually contain much activity it was still lovely to do very little today, just what a Saturday should be for. The afternoon was mainly spent reading or in front of the television, watching an old fi

Slow

Cal — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 20:13:00 GMT

Every day it seems to get quieter at work. There seem to be more staff than students in at the minute and there are quite a few staff off on holiday! But we keep ourselves busy complaining about how there is so little to do!&nbs

I just suddenly realised this morning that the ground in places was covered in leaves and that the leaves still on the trees are beginning to change colour. Summer is definitely almost over! And just as it seems to be done we get som

Another weekend has gone by very quickly and it's back to work tomorrow. The weekends definitely need to be longer! I didn't get up to very much, a bit of reading, some television, some watching the rain fall again but very r
