It has been a quiet week at work, I just realised that I have only got another nine weeks left at this contract, it is going quickly now. I am clearing and shredding and throwing things around. Climbing ladders, things tumbling down, loud bangs coming from the back room and my work colleagues come running to see if I'm still standing. We had a few IT issues last week, we lost three days work as a result, so this week, we had a bit of a catch up. I had Youth contracts to sort and they are time consuming, so it was nice to get that all sorted :) I have also been scanning everything! Then saving to the hard drive. I haven't heard yet whether the Banes Council is going to need my expertise for another few months, crossing everything at the moment. if you could put some good thoughts about me continuing work for longer, would be really appreciated. :)
Had a little different shopping experience yesterday at Tesco's. Before we were aloud out of the shopping centre we were all made to dance our way to the front door :)
Speaking of Diabetes, the news is good :) I have been on other medication for a few days and already my blood sugar has halved! The Dr said she was so sorry, as it wasn't really my fault, I should have been given something sooner, my pancreas just wasn't coping :( I was doing everything I should have and exercising everyday, yet my levels remained very high! I want to be able to get to the stage where I don't need the medication, it may be a way off, but it's work in progress. I have to say though, I feel soooooo much better already. I'm not as tired, starting to feel some saliva back in my mouth, yayyyy! The pretentious saliva tastes crap, don't want to have that any more if I can help it. Maybe now I will get rid of all the cold/infections I have recently had which wouldn't go away. As I said it's only been a few days and wow what a difference a day makes, as they say :)
A nice relaxing weekend, after our Tesco's dance experience, we headed out to the car park, OMG it was blowing a GALE and then some. Both Rani and I were trying to put the shopping in my car and at the same time, put the foot around the wheel of the trolley so as to try and keep it from rolling away and crashing into the merc next to me :( with shopping in the car, scarf up around my head to stop the wind whistling through to my ear drums, I couldn't feel the hands, so I throw on the gloves, buttoned up the coat and on a 45 degree angle we bent forward, hunched over, forced our way over to the trolley bay and locked in the trolleys and as we turned around, it practically picked us up as we skipped our way back to the car and lept inside and ahhhhhh we are finally out of that! Well until Rani says, don't forget you need petrol. Need I say after that trolley experience, I was ready to skip the petrol, but I was almost out. I drove around the block to the petrol station and standing out under cover, I seriously thought I would get blown over, the only thing that kept me where I was, was the fact that I was hanging onto the door handle of the car! Haha
Nice sleep in Sunday and actually am feeling a bit healthier and I manage the chores, the washing, clean the kitchen, have a nice chat to some family and friends on the iPad. Not really in a cooking mood today, but I sorted out freezer stuff and see what I need for lunches etc through the week. I'm on a major cut down now, only 10 weeks till I go to Paris and Venice :) I am telling myself, I'm going and I will damn well better have some money saved by then!
I went on my walk today and I thought I would take a few pics, some things that are very Much part of the landscape over here, but not at home:
This is a house which was once a church in the village
Ok who know's what these are? Favourite green at Christmas in UK.
Dead centre of the village, I felt quite at home here haha
Only 15 mins down the road, watch out for tractors, mud and horse poo! Yep that's what it's like here in the Somerset countryside.
A beauty all of it's own, even though it's shed it's leaves :)
Seen on many roads and very useful!
This pic wouldn't enlarge for some reason, it's the old Oakland Brewery which is being made into units, which you can see below, wouldn't mind one, but I still love my little unit :)
I'm almost home, on High Street, it's just starting to get dark, better get out my fluro band, so I do t get run over! The little lanes are so tiny, and when the cars come hiking along, they don't see you :(
My little protector :) until I get a jacket for walking.
That's about it for this week beautiful people:) I'm going to go make myself a nice healthy bit of fish or salmon (got it cheap) and some rice and some veg and watch Monarch of the Glen or whatever is on the telly :) relax for the remainder of the night and be nice and refreshed for another week of work.
Going to celebrate Chinese New Year next weekend with the youngens at work, so something to look forward to. So until next blog, love you all xxxxxx
