Blimey

Thats just kinda how I feel at the moment.

New job is madly hectic in a way that I am not sure I like.

I'm really missing being able to blog more frequently, and I need to start making time for "me" in a sort of "head space" way. In that vein I have had my first pilates class and it is fab!

This year has felt a bit "one thing after another" and I don't think that is going to end anytime soon.

I had a fantastic weekend with old friends and new - but it was also confusing in some ways - pleasant but made me think.

What will be, will be

New jeans

I'm having a great mooching weekend. Went out for a quick ride and a coffee with my OH yesterday then chilled out on the sofa with some episodes of the West Wing and a homemade curry and bottle of red.

Today I did some online banking this morning, realised that my finances were looking ok so I headed for some shopping in the city. I am stupidly happy that one of the department stores is now stocking my preferred skincare range, Caudalie, which had meant a trip to SpaceNK previously.

I also kept going with my mission to find the perfect flared leg jeans, with seemingly no success anywhere until I popped into a local boutique which I always avoid as I feel too "big" to shop in there. Diesel Lambry's are the way to go, they come in a 30" leg - yeah!

And the assistant also got me to size down as she felt the 32" waist would soon be too big - double yeah!

I then popped into a cafe I had always wanted to try and will most definately be going back, I think it is probably my new favourite place. The coffee and cake were lovely and even better the lunch menu looks great and they serve my favourite organic Rose - heaven!

All in all a lovely, but incredibly shallow weekend :o)

Burston Strike School Rally






One of the joys of not being a civil srevant anymore is that I am allowed to be "political" again. My sis and I went to the Burston Strike School Rally today, much more like a village fete than a political rally, that is until bloody Bob Crowe spoke! Grrrrr the man did my head in, he got facts and figures wrong and totally missed the point on just about everything, I actually feel sorry for the RMT if he is the figurehead. What infuriated me so much was his attitude that tommorows tube strike disruption was "sticking it to the man". Which bit doesn't he get about the tube disruption actually affecting millions of hard working Londoners? Not the "fat cats", they can afford a taxi home, but ordinary working people who just want to get home on a Monday evening. Can't they see this does more damage to their cause than anything?

On the other hand Billy Bragg and Tony Benn spoke eloquently, in their different ways, about how it is everyone's responsibility to make this society fair and just. Exactly what the strike school was all about.
