Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Nel has had a busy summer: With her Peppy Paws dog walking and pet sitting service – she has a regular dog walk most days and she has had a couple of holiday customers. She’s looked after : dogs, cats, rabbits, fish and chickens so far. She even brought home the eggs (at the behest [...]

Jill, master of all trades.

This last week has been absolutely jam packed with me frequently swapping hats and yet somehow, at the end of this frantic week, I am somehow still pretty much on top of everything – bar my blog of course! My colleague was off this week so I worked four days instead of two, and in [...]

This is SO clever, and brought to my attention by various City friends. How does anyone get this to look so slick? : Stephen took over my PC and forced me to watch shared these with me and I found them absolutely hilarious: LOVE this one and Stephen Fry’s bemusement : Something we never think [...]

A week of preparations.

Sunday, August 8th, 2010

We’ve mainly spent the last week preparing for Billy’s new venture as a self-employed locum and on the way I’ve really enjoyed spending some quality time with him and seeing him relax and return to his normal self. He has now: designed and ordered his business cards, and other stationery; bought a smart new working [...]

You know how social events are like buses – well Billy has had a big weekend. On Friday night we went out with his now-ex-colleagues after his last day working at Specsavers in town after 12 years of service. We started off with about 20 people, slowly whittling down over the course of the evening [...]

This post is nothing more than an excuse to show off my darling cats, whom I adore. The three of them are not really allowed upstairs but Nel keeps luring or carrying up to her room where they are quite happy to settle on her bed: Timmy is the “old man”, the alpha male and [...]

A couple of days off.

After the Hyde v City match, I went to stay with Mum as I hadn’t seen her for a month or so, and as I had the following Monday and Tuesday off work, stayed until Tuesday morning, making a nice little break. On the Sunday, Mum and I went shopping and as ever, I helped [...]

All in one day!

Wednesday turned out to be a jam packed day. I didn’t need to go in to my clinic until late morning so I painted the shelves in the bedroom, thinking they could dry all day with the window open without me being there to smell the paint. Then I was in my clinic for the [...]

On the up-and-at-’em.

Sunday, July 11th, 2010

I don’t appear to have had much time for blogging lately but there’s lots going on in our lives right now and I’ve been a busy bee. I’m also feeling more myself, and though I AM still determined not to be walked upon, I’m a little less defensive. Work is still stressful, and we’re now [...]
