Random, very random....

Don't panic i'm still here, though I'm sure you've all been glad of the peace and quiet....yeah yeah, you lot will tell me anything.

Dolly is doing a Dolly (Parton) and working the 9 to 5. Yes, I'm back slaving away over a hot keyboard earning some cash over the summer. Not sure how long the temp job will be lasting but while it does, it means I can save some money for September, and keep the wolf from the door and pay my mortgage....oh and eat, hahaha. I'm working in a really nice office with really nice people, but what makes it even nicer is knowing I'm not there for my life's duration and it's only temporary. Call me mad, but I honestly don't think I could ever go back to being a full time secretary again. It was good whilst it lasted but my life is too short to carry on doing something that was making my soul die bit by bit.

In other news....I inherited three chickens (well 2 hens and a cock...err, stop making up your own jokes please...!!) for a short time on Thursday. Paxo, Sage and Onion, (ok, so I named them) somehow managed to find their way into my garden. I only knew about this when my sister-in-law text me with a picture. I've always said I've wanted chickens but for them to just turn up un-announced without asking if I've got a spare bit of grass for them is a bit rude. Needless to say, they'd gone by the time I got home...shame. They were also saved from sudden death at the jaws of my two cats too who were inside Dolly Peg towers when my new visitors arrived, otherwise i'd have had giblets and feathers everywhere.

Living across the road from a church I get to see my fair share of weddings during the summer and there was one yesterday and they had a caribbean steel band playing outside when the couple came out from saying their 'I do's' and pledging their eternal throth to each other. The band were brilliant, so myself, my niece Belle, my friend Debra and my Mum (hi mum) were stood in my garden dancing away to the band. We were shaking our hips and getting in the groooooove...sorry I got carried away with myself then. It was a great idea and definitly better than listening to the sound of the passing 49a bus and the occasionl fire engine, and definitely put me in the mood for summer.

Well lovelies, the sun is out in Southport again today. No idea how long it will last so going to make the most of it whilst it's here, and I'm off to enjoy the samples and delights of the day.

I've put two pics on today one of Paxo, Sage and Onion, and one of a couple of street entertainers in Southport yesterday. They actually looked much better than some we get (the street entertainers, not the chickens) so thought I'd share it with you.

Till next time...x

It most certainly is....

I've just done a quick show of hands...ok, I'm actually on my own at the moment, so I put up both hands to give it an overwhelming majority, and it's FRIDAY...the weekend, the time to party, let your hair down and make hay whilst the sunshines (which I bloody hope it does!).

It's been a long week uni wise (I won't bore you with the details) but it's been helped along by the sunshine and my good mood, so tonight I'm going to let of some steam and i'm off to see a band at the Fox and Goose (I mentioned it on yesterdays blog). My ears will probably ring for about 2 days so if I look at you with a slightly glazed look, I can't hear you so you'll have to shout.

This afternoon though I am going to indulge in some writing. There's a writing competition I want to enter so I'm going to work on that I think. The closing date is April, but I need to make a start on it now...if anyone wants the arduous task of reading it, going through it with a red pen, telling me it's poop and then getting drunk with me, please raise your hand now....all offers gratefully accepted :-) The rest of my weekend will be spent chilling out, catching up on some work and hoping the good weather continues.

Well I'm going to make a cuppa and put on some 80's music to get the weekend off to a rather nice start.

Till next time....x
