Hello to all my beautiful family and friends, it is Friday night 6th September 2013 and I'm relaxing on my couch with a glass of Thatcher's Gold, Somerset Cider :) Is the only thing I have in the alcoholic variety in my fridge or cupboard, so it will have to do this fine evening!
I have had a good week, had a relatively quiet weekend, went to the markets on Saturday in Wells and wandered around. I bought two screwdrivers and a little torch and some batteries, last of the big spenders!(all for a mere £5) I did shout myself a coffee and a Thai fish cake, whatever change I had left after buying a few fresh vegies :) I actually enjoyed just sitting and listening to the chatter around me, the sound of a busker down near the Town Hall and there was a wedding taking place at the far end of the Town a hall, so that was fun watching, as the photographer was up on the first floor taking shots of all the guests down near the markets (different!) I find it quite relaxing sitting and taking in all the surroundings, there were a few families with their pets, walking bye and some stopping for some lunch or a coffee at the markets, I must say the coffee tent at the markets do a roaring trade, make a lovely coffee as well! The Thai lady ave me a couple of prawns as well, yum I was in heaven :)
Time for grocery shopping now, so off to Shepton Mallet, I head down to Tesco's to do my weekly shop. Yay I actually remembered to take my bags for a change. I have a list today Alana, so stick to it! Why is it, so god damn easy to go over budget whilst shopping? Far too many distractions and far too many yummy things to buy! Ok, blinkers on, you have a purpose, so just get on with it and do it! So I hurtle down the eisles hunting for my list items, desperately trying not to see all the specials jumping out at me. I did buy two things off my list, but I had been wanting a stockpot to cook my soup in and saw a very good bargain on a bath mat, couldn't resist that. Time to get home and relax a bit.
Sunday morning, feeling great! Happy Father's Day Dad xxxxxx Also to all my brother's and brother in law and to all my friends whom are Father's, have a wonderful day.
i just called my dad but he didn't answer, at a guess, he might be out at my sister's or he might be snoozing.
This is a pic of my gorgeous Dad who is 89/90 in Jan, with my lovely sister Suzie and myself, which was taken at the airport before I left, we were all smiling then, but there were a few tears when I left :(
I rang dad later to give him a surprise for Father's Day and it was about 5pm, Perth time and he was really happy to hear from me, apart from the obvious problem of not being able to hear me properly :( i found myself yelling down the phone!
No money for travel this weekend, so plan to have a day of cooking some soup to last me the week, doing the domestics, washing and all that :) yummmm soup smells devine, pork, veg and red lentils, sounds a bit odd, but tastes awesome.
I was about to sit down to some soup when my neighbour called in and asked if I wanted to go for a drive to Dobby's (a car wash place) near a garden centre, we decided to both put our car's in for a clean and we would go and have a cream tea (Devonshire Tea) to those that are wondering what a cream tea is, like I was, until I found out. We had a great time wandering round Dobson's Garden Centre, they had really lovely homewares and all sorts of stuff in there, I just had to switch off though after a while, good to look, but can't buy! It will be so nice to actually have a full time job, so I can catch up and start to buy a few nice things for home, but I don't need a great deal really, I would much rather, save that money for a trip somewhere :)
Monday morning i had an appointment to visit an Agency, it was only when I rang from Bath, that they decided that I wasn't meeting them Monday, it was actually, Tuesday! So I was actually a day early :( Now I could have spent the day window shopping, as Bath has some awesome shops, or get back on the Bus back to the Odd Down Bus Park and Ride on the outskirts of Bath. The latter won, as I opened my purse and a few moths flew out, so I thought the safest thing was to go straight back home, do not pass go and don't buy anything! Wish I could pick up $200 lol
Got a call from Juice Recruitment when I got home, could I work, Friday, Monday, Tuesday 8.30 - 2.00pm yessssss of course I can! Samantha the Manager, then rang me back with the details and said I would have to go on Thursday for 3 hrs for training and they were going to pay me :) I really like Samantha, I have actually only met her on the phone, I only met her offsider, but she really looks for suitable work for me :) she says that I'm there favourite and on the top of the list :)
After being in Bath Monday and Tues morning, I decided to stay home Wednesday and relax and read and apply for a few jobs. went into the library, took my book back and renewed it and then used the computer to update my cv and saved it to my USB storage. Feels so good to actually put some local businesses on my CV, now I have Nash Partnership (Architect's), Rotork (engineers/actuaries) and now Altran (critical software for aerospace and trains in uk which is only some of what they do) all really well known companies to Bath, so it will help with the job hunting I am hoping.
Well I have survived a day at Altran and managing about 8 Meeting Rooms, 8 car bays, organising train travel, pay for tickets, organise incoming and outgoing mail, organising visitors, booking them in and supplying them with security entrance etc and answer calls, make coffee and organise lunches, gee where did the day go! Oh and did I mention the MD came in and I didn't realise who he was lol but I was very pleasant and did my job properly :)
I have been walking a lot this week, most of the time, I manage to put my Runmaster on, but half the time, forget to turn it on, on my phone, walk a mile or so, realise I haven't turned it on! The good thing though, I'm Walking! Working in Bath is good too, because I often have a decent walk to and from work to the park and ride. It won't be long and the days will be getting shorter and darker, I have noticed the temps dropping a bit at night and early morning, while Perth is going into spring, I'm going into Autumn :)
It's time for me to relax a bit now and have a read of my book, before bed, might finish off that cider, might help me sleep :) Hope I have lots of pics and much more ad adventures for you next post, so until then xxx lots of love Alana xxxx
Ps Happy Birthday Suzie for tomorrow xxxx
