Well I never thought I'd say this but I have loved the sport this weekend! I'll be so sad when the Olympics are over. Why can't sport be this exciting all of the time? Maybe it's something to do with this country's obsession with football, the world's most dull sport. Why not pick a national sport, and show more coverage of, a sport we're actually ( Read more... )

I had the week form hell last week. I suffered from curse of the Granny which was the overarching shadow over the whole thing. Nanna Connie is in a home at the moment which I've been fine about but it's becoming a drawn out issue as she wants to come home. She's not really fit to come home mainly due to the awful cold weather. She gets more ( Read more... )

I've been having a jolly week off. So much so that today is especially hard, being back at work. I hate my job, so I'm kicking into action Plan B. I'm going to start applying for part-time library work and see where I end up. It's quite nice earning an ok wage (especially on 4 days a week) but with library jobs being few and far between I can't ( Read more... )

I don't feel like I've stopped this week. On Monday and Tuesday I headed over to Bradford (which I'd never thought was that bad but this week I have concluded that it is indeed very rough), to do some volunteering. The back room has been moved around to open it up for public use so I spent the evening tattling the journals. The room looks great ( Read more... )

I'm a bit fed up today so I've put Alphabeat on as a remedy. It's working a little. It's a shame really as I've had a really nice weekend. Work is being a bit up or down though which is the problem really. On Friday I found out that I'm the only person to apply for my own post so I should be ok. Now they just need to ascertain whether I need an ( Read more... )

Right, a quick update from me. I've had a quiet weekend really. Didn't do much on Saturday apart from potter about really. We've booked all of our stuff for Chantal's 30th birthday in London in September. It's very exciting as we haven't been to London for a good while. We're going down on the Thursday which gives us Thursday and Friday to do what ( Read more... )

On Wednesday night we went to see The Princess and the Frog. I feared it would be full up as it was half term. Thankfully I was wrong. I hadn't seen a Disney 2D animation at the cinema for many years but I was so glad that it didn't disappoint. It's absolutely stunning on the big screen. Beautiful in a totally different way to Ponyo. There's so ( Read more... )

My head isn't really in the shape to think about what I've done as I'm coming down with the evil cold thing that's going round. It hasn't quite come out though so it's all in my head. I'm glad I'm off tomorrow :( Get the violins out people ( Read more... )

In a desperate attempt to cheer ourselves up we've been watching The Muppets a lot lately. It's doing the trick certainly. We also watched 'Sunshine Cleaning' the other day as well. I expected it to be a bit more funny than it was somehow but I think that's to do with how it's sold. However I really enjoyed it. I think it helped that it wasn't ( Read more... )

God I'm depressed. And it's not even January anymore. I just want to a job that tests my brain and used my degree as I feel like my brain is becoming mush. I'm currently looking into short crusies. P+O have BOGOF on ones to Amsterdam, Bruges or Rotterdam. Very tempting. However, we did book a load of things at the weekend, including a 10 day ( Read more... )
