Long Time, No Posting
Its been a long while since I posted on Livejournal(years actually). I've got older, wiser(possibly!) and a few more aches and pains to boot. Its six years since I got early retirement from a grateful government(not). I enjoy life and take it at a pace that suits me. This means making a fuss of three spoilt Irish Setters who hog the sofa and ( Read more... ) -
Musings On Life and the Nail Varnish Thing
The last week or so has been interesting, the Other Half is in the USA and the moment he departs the shores of the UK anything that can go wrong does.

Little b****** has carefully dug up said seeds and chomped the lot, this means war....I have resown new seeds and laid the mouse traps baited with my finest dark ( Read more... ) -
The Day Got Better
After this morning's full on rant, the tumble dryer arrived(good ole Argos) and is sitting in the garage waiting to be unpacked. Anyway the sun was still shining and the sky still blue, so I rang work to tell the boss I'm taking the rest of the day off. But couldn't get hold of him he wasn't answering the phone, managed to get on to the other ( Read more... ) -
Life, Work and ?
It has been ages since I last posted, guess that is due to the unremitting workload I have at the moment. I'm knackered when I come home in the evenings and it's as much as I can do to cook a meal, open up the computer check the e-mails and try and relax. At work it has gone to 'Hell in a Handcart' I'm a commercial officer purchasing equipment ( Read more... )
