Well hello to all my beautiful family and friends :) I apologise for the wait for the blog, have had a rather busy couple of weeks, where my attention was turned towards work, agencies and shuffling all the bills around, robbing Peter to pay Paul so to speak! I had a couple of really good temp jobs, that makes up for the one that went pear shape :( but not to give it anymore energy, I am now looking forward to a really great week next week. I have two interviews :) one of the temp jobs I did about a month ago for an afternoon, I really loved and the HR and receptionist I was taking over from, talked me into applying for a couple of positions that were going with the company. Well I hadn't heard anything, being a bit busy, it had slipped my mind, so I thought I would send the HR Manager an email to see if she would be a referee for me and just mention that I hadn't heard anything. Next minute my phone rang, it was the HR Manager and guess who has been shortlisted for an interview for a contract position :) yayyyy I was hoping on the permanent position, but wouldn't say no to three or six month contract if I were offered it at the moment. Plus...... The day before was asked if I wanted to go for a six month contract, so that's another interview this week! So I'm getting a wee bit excited, this week is looking up.
Now to change the subject.. I've had a weekend close to home this weekend, but one to cleanse my soul you might say. Saturday I was up early and off to Glastonbury to the Ashram, for a yoga workshop. I have to say that I was a little out of my comfort zone at first when I saw everyone sitting on their little matt's, (one to myself, need to take a BIG cushion next time!) Thank god for My friend, could have kissed her she pointed to these half chair things, which I was able to use during the talk and the Meditation. I could see me laying down within a few hours otherwise! Our instructor was very thorough and explained everything so well, he explained it was all about the breath firstly and then movement (whilst breathing of course.) it was fine with most of the body stretches when we were working on the arms and torso, then it started to get very interesting, (I wish he would stop coming down the back and leave me to it!) Then.... We were doing these squats lol we had to pick a partner and we had to take each others weight, holding each other's arms and squatted together, if that wasn't hard enough lol down comes Steve to help me with the next move haha yes similar to the squat, this time we have to sit on our bums whilst holding onto our partner. omg I'm thinking, he's gonna land on top of me, he was all of five foot and the "perfect" yogi body not an ounce of fat anywhere, thinking to myself, this is not a good balance here, we are both going down, down and I know that there is a point of no return for me, lol I say I can't sit on my bottom from here, so he says sit sideways down on one leg, next minute, legs going every which way, all ways except the correct way! It was a great day, but it was rather a long day, We decided the Ashram needed some lessons in Vegetarian food, it was pretty ordinary, Sam and Jez if your reading this, nothing like your wonderful feasts you put on xxx Time to get home and run a bath relax and might have a bit of a meditate. Dinner time, pj's on and time for a bit of TV and I can't keep my eyes open, where are the match sticks when you need them. I'm not winning, starting to slump in chair and dribble, time for bed! Get into bed and then realised I haven't set alarm, tomorrow, going to the Challis Well, it's free to get in between 10 - 12, as they have a special meditation.
What is that awful noise at this time of morning, doesn't everyone know your aloud a sleep in on Sunday! It goes on and on and on, still same song? Oh silly, it's my alarm in the Loungeroom :( I won't put in the bedroom, as it's too loud and I don't like the iPad on and close to my head when I sleep. Moving a bit slower this morning, a bit stiff, but not too bad considering yesterday's workout. I can't seem to get moving today, but eventually am ready to head off to the Challis Well for a free meditation today.
Driving over towards Glastonbury, The Tor in distance.

What a beautiful day :)
A nice end to a weekend, drive around the countryside, stop on the way home for some essentials from Tesco's and home to relax and a night in tonight watching Downtown, yes it started again tonight and tomorrow night is the new series of Dr Martin, I know I'm hooked!
Hopefully by the next blog, I will have a contract and it will give me a bit more time to spend away on the weekends. The weather is starting to get a bit cooler, but it would be nice to have a weekend away, might go north to Scotland, or Ireland or even south somewhere, decisions decisions? Until next blog, love you all xxx
