Long weekend

Thursday, 30 July 2009 2:23 P GMT
Have we got some dirty, dusty jobs to do at work at the minute.  Today I spent an hour checking theses, old ones, very old ones that from the dust surrounding them hadn't been consulted since they were written half a century - or more ago!&n

Holiday

Thursday, 9 April 2009 8:18 P GMT
Today was very slow.  I expected it to be as I was waiting for my long weekend to start.  I am on holiday until next Wednesday.  And another nice thing before I left work.  We had our usual chocolate raffle and I won a Cadbury cre

It was a nice and lazy Saturday today after the first almost busy week at work.  A late breakfast followed by something nice in the post and lunch out with my friend - as usual chips were the choice.  The something nice in the post was

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

It's Sunday again as quickly as ever but I have another short week this week, only one day on holiday this time though as we're going down to London on Wednesday to see the Terracotta Army exhibition at the British Museum.  We are really

One of the pleasures of being on holiday is no alarm to wake up you up far too early.  But this morning I still woke up too early.  Anothe pleasure though is being able to go back to sleep again which I duly did.  When I did get u

Eye strain

I spent most of this afternoon and evening with a book in my hand, something I haven't done for ages.  Lately I seem to only get to read for short spells, I don't know why.  But I certainly enjoyed the hours I spent.  And latel

Take a break

Tuesday, 24 July 2007 1:57 P GMT
A long morning which was probably because I was waiting for 1.00 to come and my short holiday to start.  I am off now for the rest of the week with no plans beyond lunch out on Thursday, some late mornings and a bit of relaxation.  To help

Reading and eating

Thursday, 19 April 2007 4:39 P GMT
A bit of impulse shopping this afternoon after work.  Well, if you can call it an impulse when you've been thinking about something for awhile and then just decide to do it.  It was nothing spectacular just a new book, Soverei

Another spending spree this afternoon and although a much cheaper one than when I bought my new mobile an even more enjoyable one.  I do like buying books!  Especially when Waterstones have a 3 for 2 sale.  The only problem is stopping

Reading and su doku with a little television thrown in has been my day today.  I finished one book, started another and made a mess of half of the puzzles I tried.  And all day it rained or nearly rained.  Of all the kinds of weat

Another weekend over so fast again.  Somehow it's harder to get up in the mornings when it's so dull which it is now since Autumn is officially here.  Less going out and enjoying the weather and more staying in to avoid it.  An

Every started a job then wished you hadn't bothered? This afternoon I was searching the bookshelves for a particular book - which incidently I never found - and I suddenly realised that one of the bookcases, filled with not often read books and tucke

Saturday, 27 May 2006 4:05 P GMT
Shopping at Tesco this morning which I always say after we've been that I will never do again on a Saturday and which I always mean until we find ourselves having to go back there. It was as bad as ever, too many people, too many trolleys and no-one

First day of my short holiday. A little lie-in, a leasurely breakfast then Mum and I went into town to do some shopping. It's a real treat to be able to do that when the place isn't heaving with people like it usually is when I come out from work. Th

Hairdressers and sunshine

Thursday, 4 May 2006 7:37 P GMT
Gorgeous day today. So much sunshine and so hot. It's lucky it was so nice as I had to make the trip into town twice today. I had to go to the hairdressers and the only appointment I could get was for late this afternoon, too late really to hang arou

Happiness

Wednesday, 3 May 2006 4:03 P GMT
There was an item on the breakfast news this morning on the BBC about being happy. Apparently those of you who are Swiss are the happiest people around. Here I'm not so sure about. I think sometimes there's nothing we enjoy more than a good grumble!

Book buying

Thursday, 6 April 2006 4:48 P GMT
The sun is shining a lot lately and Spring is definitely making itself known. So why can't the shops turn down their heating! It was as bad at work today too. First thing we had a meeting in a fairly cool room so everyone thought it was just that tha

None of us felt much like doing anything holiday related today after the horrible day we had yesterday.  So Mum and I just went into town to do some shopping.  It was a fairly dreary day, very cloudy and raining.  I decided to get myself some bela
