Sunshine? ...yes really!

 

Hello everyone,

It`s sunny today, just in case you didn`t hear me  IT`S SUNNY TODAY!  Mind you, it is a bit chilly still and this afternoon there`s been a few spots of rain, but still, mustn`t grumble.

This morning I had my hair done and I`ve undergone a change of hairstyle.  I`ve had the back cut and a fringe put in and it looks so much better.  I wonder if Jim will notice when he gets home, most likely not in the past is anything to go by.  If I were to ask him if there is anything different about my hair he`ll most likely say it`s a different colour or something, anything but the style.  I`ll time him and see how long it takes him to notice, if not I won`t tell him and I`ll let Kerry notice for him when she brings Roman over...Men!

                             

I decided to plant out my flowers this afternoon, takinking full advantage of the weather while I could.  I managed to put the trough liners in and fresh compost when down came a shower of rain, not heavy but I wasn`t taking any chances.  Afterwards I put the compost in the posts and cleared away the mess I`d made in the process.  I`m probably plant the flowers later, weather permitting and apart from covering them at night in case of frost, I can more or less forget about them until the drier weather, IF we get any that is.

                          

A CD that I ordered the other day arrived this morning from CD-Wow.com.  It`s  a new one from Bruce Springsteen called, We Shall Overcome - The Seeger Sessions.  I`ve been a fan of his for years now and this is a smashing album with as the title suggests, songs that were recorded by Pete Seeger.  Jim and I buy most of our CD`s and DVD`s from CD-Wow or Play.com, they are postage free and very much cheaper than in the shops, also they are delivered within days or ordering.  I highly recommend both sites.

                                  

Yesterday I scanned the situations vacant sites to see if I can find any paid work but to no avail, it`s reaching the point where I could paper a wall with the rejection letters I`ve recieved, and as for those that didn`t bother replying to my letter of application,  I shall say no more!  I It`s getting to the point where I think I`ll have to take in washing...lol!  I`ve really tried everywhere and if I do see an opening, so do at least thirty others, either younger and/or more qualified.  Last week while speaking to a would-be employer over the phone, all was going well until he asked my age.  He paused slightly and I asked him was that a problem.  He of course denied that it was but I knew that he wouldn`t even interview me.  He called back yesterday to say the vacancy had been filled, but I didn`t believe him because he told me last week he wouldn`t start interviewing until the end of this week...Oh well, I`ll just have to keep plugging away at it...sigh.

    

The pretty pink flower is an Aqualiega.  It was nearly dead when I bought it in a garden centre sale last year.  One of my better bargain buys I think!                

Well that`s it for today.  I`m going to prep the dinner and perhaps get those flowers in, mind you the sky is now a threatening bluish black so I doubt I`ll have the time before it rains....again.  Oh well, the sun was nice while it lasted.  So, enjoy your day, take care and Bye Bye for now. :o)

 

 

Just a Giggle

Two lorries loaded with thousands of copies of Roget`s Thesaurus crashed as they left a London publisher`s warehouse last Wednesday.  According to news reports, witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, taken aback, amazed, stupefied......
