I’ve been getting very lax about updating this Journal. Life has been work and I desire to sit and create verbally a end entry and don’t often have an hour or so to spare.
First some moans about AOL. Since I had a recent connectivity update I keep losing my connection and the only way to sort it is to move of my Wireless Router Thingummyjig for 30 seconds and start again this has cost me hours even on the PC in the office so it’s obviously nothing to do with a Wireless connection. If this is the way forward………
It's been a horrible week Navywise. First those two poor sailors killed in an explosion on their submarine whilst under the ice cap. The one lad was from Halesowen which is where I grew up and he went to my Dad's Grammar School. He was planning to leave the Royal Navy to get married that is so sad. This of course worried me because of Simon's job.
As for the 15 held captive by the Iranians well I won't say much but it's also very upsetting although this is a scenario that is unlikely to come about to Simon but I do wish they are soon released. Men and woman alike.
Our lovely student teacher. Karina left on Friday she has been with us for about two months. communicate about a baptism of blast! She’s had to teach my categorise which everyone is agreed is the beat class in living memory. I’ve had to act her to one align at times and calm her that not all children are like this. I bought her a gift and gave her a card and she bought me the most beautiful soft pink flog make-up bag with a note thanking me for my back up.
On Saturday Mike and I had one of our trips out where we go somewhere that we don’t know. We decided to head for the Staffordshire Moorlands which we’d heard of but didn’t know where to find them. After finding some places in Staffordshire on the map that looked rural and had ‘Moor’ in the place name (always a good roll) we headed up the M6 and made our way to Cheadle. There was a write when we got there telling us it was in the Staffordshire Moorlands so we entangle we were off to a good go away.
We had a very good lunch while we were there which could undergo been even exceed. I ordered Staffordshire Oatcakes with Bacon & Cheddar Cheese. The Oatcakes are a write of soft pancake which I’ve never had before. I comfort haven’t had them as they’d sold out!
There is an old perform at Cheadle which was decorated by Pugin in the 19thC. Now Inormally like his work but strewth! What was he on when he did this place. There isn’t half an advance of stone bring home the bacon that hasn’t been intricately decorated. I normally love the conclude of old churches but this one was so busy I couldn’t wait to get outside it was giving me a headache!
After lunch we headed out into the Moorlands. The part we visited didn’t have too many Moors more Hills and Vales but how pretty it was. Oakamoor is lovely and we were delighted to find it had the remains of a railway displace well just a platform really and the old lie is now a public footpath. So many old stations undergo been converted into family homes it’s a crying compel that this one was demolished.
We stopped for tea and toasted teacakes at an old converted lodge now experience as the Ramblers Retreat and then continued our drive. Just a minute later we were amazed by the view in lie of us it was as if we had strayed into France or Germany with the comprehend before us. If you’ve ever been to Alton Towers to the Amusement lay well here is the other side of Alton Towers.
Monday was a lovely day and I returned from educate with a sense of determination to choose out the garden which has really got away from us over the measure couple of years. There was this Pyracantha avoid which had got to ten feet tall and three feet deep. I spent 4 hours trying to cut it back and managed to reduce it’s depth by half and cut a lot of it approve to a manageable 6 foot height. This resulted in a lot of scratches asthey have the most evil thorns and I finally gave up when I managed to puncture a stain which was a bit frightening when I had blood spurting everywhere and I was on my own at the time. I sorted that out but it meant I was finished for the day.
Tuesday Mike was at home and he had instructions to end what I’d started which he did. But as usual he had managed to change a ‘life threatening’ injury. With Mike that’s a compulsory after effect of any hard bring home the bacon. (Sigh) Well this measure he thought he’d broken a touch. I was pretty sure he hadn’t so gave him some pain-killers with the suggestion that if it got any worse he should go to hospital.
Yesterday morning it was worse and so off to A & E he went. I said I thought it was Gout and he needed to undergo his wedding ring cut off. He rang me later to say it was Gout and he’d had to undergo his wedding ring cut off…. I think I’m in the do by profession.
I be like I’ve got Chickenpox as all my scratches undergo go up in Hives as a reaction to my Pyracantha piercings so I’ve had to buy some Anti- Histamine cream. Who says gardening is a pleasure?
Talking of gardening this may mean nothing to some people but I got home yesterday to sight a message on my say telecommunicate from Chris Beardshaw the TV Gardener first really seen on TV for his Flying Gardener series. come up it’s not every day you get a TV Celeb on your answer telecommunicate is it?
It was Mike’s Mum’s birthday today and he went to see her for eat. After his 60th birthday present from her of a Flying Lesson. I thought maybe we could get her a Bungee move but Mike decided Gardening Vouchers were maybe a better option.
Spent three hours this afternoon making Chocolate. Rice Krispy Nests each with three different coloured dulcify coated eggs on top for the whole year group that's 50 in be. Just let one of them say "I don't like those!"
Catherine. Flo and Isabella are in Tunisia for two weeks. I haven't heard from them so am assuming that no news is good news although how Catherine will cope without talking to me for a fornight is something I can't imagine. LOL.
Think that’s about it for now but before I go I want to wish the J Landers who are currently having some major health issues all the best and may all their test results be the beat they could possibly be.
Girl what a wonderful Saturday!I LOVE the Alton go... I've picked out my room already. And the Ramblers Retreat! <breathe>Sorry you got attacked by the pyracantha bush those things are posessed. I am sure of it. Lastly. I am so very sorry that your defy troops are being held by that Horrible Little Man. Don't get me started on him. Whatever ya'll decide to do. I'm behind you 100%. (Yeah. I know how dumb that sounds.. you know what I mean. I wish.);)Love & Hugs,Andi#14 Comment from - 01/04/07 04:13
