A Wet Working Week

Hello Everyone,

Here I am after a week of not writing an entry of reading very many either. I`ve been just too busy or too tired OR both. I know that`s a very poor excuse and I`ll try harder next week to read more journals, I don`t want to find myself missing out on too much.

               

This last week at work I`ve been seriously busy. I`ve had to take everything down from the shelves, clean them thoroughly and replace all the stock. It doesn`t sound very hard but it is back-breaking work. There is still lots to do and it`ll probably take a couple of weeks but I really don`t mind as I like to keep busy and it really passes the time.  On Friday I went into work an hour early as we had a staff meeting. There`s going to be some changes made and one of those entails me working outside for one day a week. I was shown around the plant area by our outside manager and then I cleared some beds for the last hour before I went home. This really did make a change for me and I really liked being outside despite the dismal weather, it`s not as though we aren`t given enough coats to wear. I have my fleece, bodywarmer and a waterproof coat that I borrowed until I get my own and I was as warm as toast. If it get`s much colder as is forecast, I shall wear a woolly hat too...lol!                                                      

                      

On Thursday I bashed my leg on a display frame and it really hurt, the pain quickly wore off and I forgot all about it. Later on in the afternoon I had this really uncomfortable throbbing pain in my leg which didn`t go until later that night. I`d forgotten all about the earlier collision with the frame and didn`t connect the two events. Yesterday morning after my morning shower I saw that I had a large bruise on my leg and the surrounding area was quite swollen, I must have hit my poor little leg harder than I thought...note: must be more careful in future and look where I`m going!

                          

 

At last I have a new jacket. It is the one from Marks&Spencer that I tried on the just after Christmas but was too big. Well I was shopping with Jim Thursday afternoon and I found it in my size and it looked great. It`s black, short and fitted and is made of 98% wool and is fully lined. It`s exactly the kind of thing I`ve had in mind for a while so I knew when I first tried that it was perfect, that was why I was so disappointed when it didn`t fit. Now it`s mine all mine...lol!  Roman is back to his healthy happy self after almost ridding himself of that nasty cold. However, though he`s better health wise, behaviour wise is another story. I think the so-called `terrible twos` have started early in his case.  I`m sure it`s going to be a rocky ride ahead, not that I`m worried..I`m just his Nanna and I`ve done it all before, It`s Kerry and Slava I feel sorry for, but then like every other set of parents I`m sure they`ll cope...lol!

Today I did a bit of early spring cleaning, goodness knows why as Jim is starting decorating in the next few weeks, but as least I know the front room and kitchen are spotless, well almost. I`ve done all the washing and dried it all despite the torrential rain that`s been falling since first thing this morning. There`s nothing like a spot of housework to keep you fit...lol!

 

                                                  

Well I`ll say goodbye my friends, I must go and read those journals AND comment today. I hope you all have a really nice weekend and that the weather is much better than it is here.  Cheerio. :o)
