The Wonderful World of Me!

I know it's been a while and I was supposed to be keeping up with this blogging malarky but there's been tons happening around here and I've not felt like doing much in the way of sharing. All the same, I thought I'd put a few things up here. Today I had to take Bruce into Tavistock so he could pick up his new glasses. As it was raining, (surprise, surprise) Josh and I elected to stay in the car while he made the trek over to the opticians. So, lacking anything else for entertainment, I pulled my lil camera out of my bag and got a few shots in - nothing exciting though as I was unwilling to get out of the car and brave the elements!

The boys have enjoyed their weekends here - even participating in the local 'Duck Day' despite the rain! They thoroughly enjoyed that with the eldest winning me a bottle of wine on the tombola, (while I won a bottle of soft drink and a tin of apricots - typical)!! Just a shame that the weather wasn't better for that. We didn't even stay long enough for the launching of the ducks down the river, (plastic ones, that is) so never got a chance to win the £50 prize money though our landlady did well and got 4th place to win a tenner. :)

Work's going well, the boss is off on Mondays now while his partner has Fridays off and now he's talking about having two weeks off later this month. I've told him that when he comes back I'll probably need a month off to get over the stress of being in charge! lol Mind you, his partner was joking today that I'd probably pay to come to work, (yes, I do LOVE my job and I thoroughly enjoy going to work)!! When he finally gets around to giving me a pay rise I'll be even happier! ;)

I know, I promised to post once a week but you've got to cut me some slack already - Friday evening was a rough start to my weekend what with one of work's trucks breaking down after delivering a load of free wood to my place - a good deed gone slightly askew!

Still, here I am and I'm looking forward to having the next two days off, my boss has 'ordered' me to chill out and not be running around like a headless chicken doing everything! lol I told him I'd have to book myself into a hotel for a couple of days in order for that to happen.

He's a good bloke/boss who has pandered to my liking for writing cheques to pay the suppliers with, (as opposed to paying by card over the phone) and has stocked me up with three brand new chequebooks, (at work, of course)!

The weather here has been excellent since the weekend and we hope it will hold for quite a while longer - it'd be nice to have a decent summer again, last year was a total washout.

Our lovely neighbours invited us for an impromptu barbie in their garden on Saturday evening which went on until we noticed the light dimming - the sun was setting and it was almost 10pm!!! We had a most enjoyable time with the lil man being well-chuffed at being allowed into the neighbour's children's tree house which had, up until then, been out of bounds for him.

Between that and getting my fave DVD through, (Little Miss Sunshine - highly recommended if you've not seen it yet) my Saturday wasn't so bad.
