(Untitled)
Must do a proper update at some point. For now, let me say that I'm five courses out of six through chemo, still alive and kicking (although the last week after dose five wasn't a complete hoot) and clinging on. Would I prefer that my mother hadn't decided the best time to schedule the surgery she's been putting off for the last three years was for ( Read more... ) -

Disappointed.
I am THIS close to handing in my notice. Will explain more in a further post, probably tomorrow, but suffice it to say that my job has been changed over time to a point where the skills for which I was employed are not being used at all. Seem to spend half my time at home either crying or thinking and re-thinking my options. All too exhausting and ( Read more... ) -
Extreme weather
I'm back in the High Peaks again visiting the friends with the gorgeous farm house and cottages in Wheston. The last time I came here was the time (accounted on LJ) when my car got stuck in a snow drift as a blizzard hit about five miles from where they live. And it would appear that extreme weather and my visits here are forming some sort of ( Read more... ) -
Choir
Just received an email from our choir committee with a letter from our director, Tom, attached saying that he's probably going to giving his notice and standing down in September. He has really good reasons for doing so - great job offer, better work/life balance etc. but I'm really gutted. He's the best director/conductor I've known and he makes ( Read more... ) -
Grammar. It's not a four-letter word.
As if the usual "your v you're" stuff wasn't enough to cope with, my FB friend whose spelling is so awful I've been tempted to unfriend her several times, just posted (with a picture of Mothercare perineal gel from her baby shower, as if that wasn't bad enough, FFS ( Read more... ) -
Confused.com
Was going to post, but can't seem to find the option of "friends" "custom groups" etc....anyone have any ideas? Next to "post" I have "to journal ms_wanderlust" and then "to community (4)" offering me options I don't really understand. This is the first time for ages I've wanted to customise who can read my post and it all looks very unfamiliar, ( Read more... ) -
A journey in the snow.
What a day! A couple of weeks ago, a few of us were going to meet up in Derbyshire at a farm/cottages run by friends but the snow meant we had to postpone. So some of us decided to rearrange the get-together for today through to Thursday. After a couple of snow-free weeks, the forecast turned chilly for this area today so we decided to wait until ( Read more... ) -
Quakers
Anyone have any experience with the Quaker movement? After several years avoiding all things church/faith, I'm thinking the option of just sitting quietly and the emphasis on equality, silence and peace might be something I want to explore. Certainly don't want conventional church (especially evangelical) and would prefer to avoid all mention of ( Read more... )
