We had a good family Christmas which was cool.
Highlights of the prezzie on the day thing were a Tractor Girl doll (but it doesn’t look like me at all) & a Tractor Boy doll. These are rag dolls (& merchandice produced by a certain football club which is still top of the league [...]
Last night my grandfather passed away, whilst I could think of many anacdotes to share and kind words to say, I know he wanted to be simply remembered in the following way:
"He did his duty"
As this is my last posting before Christmas (and possibly the new year) may you all have a blessed and [...]
Ok, so it’s been a long year, which I may or may not review in the next week (Chrimbo explosion permitting), however for now I am looking forward. In an attempt to make sure I don’t double book myself, prior to purchasing next years Festival Eye I have come up with a list of key [...]
Am a tired, but happy Tractor Girl. Have returned from Tractor Land having seen the lads win 2-1 against Wigan (although it has to be admitted that the Wigan goal was about as close as you normally see to perfect, amazing shot from 40 yards out). Our goals were a set piece effort and a [...]
Happy times are here again, have come out of whatever I had yesterday afternoon (which I think was mainly lack of sleep and general need for kick up the backside).
Over the last couple of days have made some interesting observations:
(1) "pop stars" had much better and well looked after hair in the 1980’s compared to [...]
Ok, this is going to be a clear my head blogg, because I am having one of the very best weekends combined with the very worst.
First off, party last night was v. civillised & grown up, but a really lovely evening. No need for pretension or anything, just a chance to chill & meet new [...]
Today, I have mostly been washing up (but that’s cool, becasue I actually find my best memories of churches revolve around a sink & a group of people just chatting, whilst being actual community), it was the last Sunday our church was running its charity restraunt in the run up to Christmas & as I’d [...]
Well, that’s it, term has finished & I am allowed to be shattered (although am already panicing about work I know I need to get done, despite having booked leave).
Anyway that’s by the by. Last night I sat in bed listening to some of the ‘Keep it Peel Night’ on Radio One. It was cool, [...]
Have read the following article tonight on www.sojo.net/index.cfm?action=sojomail.display&issue=041215#3 which was really interesting and makes you think.
The key points for me were two fold (i) the ability to enjoy life being important & (ii) we never know the significance of what we say or do. (Mostly it will have no significance, but we have no way [...]
Have decided the power of chocolate is amazing, particularly if combined with exam panic.
Saw my AS group today for the last time until the day of their exam, as such no end of term cheer, but plenty of revision. However I did reward everybody in the group with one mini-bag type of chocolate for a [...]
