The roads were as good as empty, which can’t be said of the airport. ‘Bustling’ doesn’t cut it, neither does ‘popular’ or ‘thriving’. Jam-packed is closer to the truth, but doesn’t imply the 30+ minute queues, just to get into the queue to check hold luggage in.
Jesska’s going home, she’s going home, she’s going!!! 🙂 * I’m armed with a plan and 4 bottles of eye drops. I have an appointment with a doctor on holiday, and I don’t have to come in again tomorrow – WHOO!! 🙂 That’s all good news :). The not quite as good news is that […]
Sometimes, I think I should just stop making plans. I mean, I know they never work out the way I intended them to, so I could save myself the bother of making them in the first place. Also, maybe God would stop laughing at them/me. *** This year, the company I work for closes between […]
Welcome to my world, new people 🙂 (And thanks for sticking around, everyone who does/is/has 🙂 🙂 🙂 )
Resolve to be thyself: and know, that he who finds himself, loses his misery. – Matthew Arnold That sounds like the best sort of resolution…. (I found the quote here. Ray’s Daily is full of awesome quotes and inspiring passages – go and see for yourself :))
Happy Christmas luffly peoples 🙂 Or “Bah Humbug!”, whatever you want…
…I’m on the way home now and there’s one bag left, I wonder who’ll cross my path looking hungry on the way home…
My colleague and I cleaned the workshop today. Every. Last. Inch. Of. It. It took ALL DAY. From 9am until 5pm, with half an hour for lunch, we scrubbed and wiped and vacuumed and washed and dried and sorted and tidied… …and decorated. And now it looks all sparkly and clean and luffly…..and we feel […]
My vacuum cleaner transforms my house into a feel-good oasis. Apparently. That’s what packaging of the new vacuum bag said anyway. I think I need more convincing. *** The bag came with a sealed plastic packet of tiny gel balls, much like the ones that swell up to look like oversized frogspawn when you soak […]
Patting multiple empty pockets leads to steadily rising panic… … especially when you realise that the only “safety measure” is hoping the battery dies before anyone finds it.. (I’d left it on a table in the foyer at work while looking at flyers, where, luckily, it was seen by a secretary who was […]
Usually, when I get on the train in the morning, it’s full of other people who are all minding their own business, and presumably trying to wake up before they get to work. People read if they have space to hold a book or a phone, or stare out of the window if they don’t. […]
(Written on Thursday 26th, but apparently didn’t upload properly..) *** This summer, we grew the best part of a million tomatoes. I gave lots of baby plants away, but most of them stayed with me, and I’m too soft to throw healthy plants away… *** I had a vision of making jars and jars of […]
“Bad weather is good for the soul – it gives you something to complain about”
Once upon a time there was one glasblower, one phone and one number. A little while later, a second glassblower arrived. Shortly after his arrival, there was a small argument resulting in a second phone and a second number. Time passed. Last year, I strolled onto the scene and used the first phone without so […]
