I am so glad that I got my errands done yesterday morning, rather than having to do them today. The weather today has been appalling. The North West has been on an Amber alert for flooding and high winds all of today - we're getting a month's worth of rain in 24 hours which is fun - tomorrow and Sunday, it drops down to a Yellow alert for ( Read more... )

What a busy weekend I've had ( Read more... )

I know it's a rather belated notification but I am home. I've been so busy since I got home that I've not had time to post till now.

As I mentioned in my last post on Friday, ftmichael and I went to Boston airport just after 6 to see if I could get on the flight out that night. The two girls who had been on the check-in desk the night before were on it ( Read more... )

Last night as we were leaving the house to go to the airport, I managed to discover a cunningly placed pothole as I stepped down from the last step at the back door.

I started writing this sitting in the kitchen with my laptop and a glass of spiced apple juice, and it was such a ( Read more... )

This has been a rather quiet week really so there's not a great deal to update about. Most of the week has been taken up with ftmichael's surgery.

Wednesday: ( The one with Michael's surgery )

I've now been in Boston a week and as today is a day of doing stuffs at home, it seemed like a good time to do an update post.

Wednesday: ( The one with the shopping )

This is a post I didn't think I'd be making any time soon, if ever, to be quite honest with you. However, a certain small person that I know is going to be having surgery in October and so I was asked if I would mind awfully going over to play nurse. Initially I wasn't sure because I'm not medically inclined at all and it's a bloody long way to ( Read more... )

I had quite a nice relaxing week last week which I was most in need of. I thought that as no work was forthcoming I should make the most of it and have a sort of holiday week. I spent the majority of it reading and watching lots of videos but also schlepping to WHSmiths every day in order to pick up the Doctor Who audiobooks that were being given ( Read more... )
