Ypu know that thing Men are from mars?

Yep well its true. Only a man would sit and watch a blank TV screen listening to a football commentary wearing a german t shirt willing Turkey to win,whilst screaming at the TV. I feel as if I am in an altered universe and no amount of my reassuring him that I really don't care ( and I really don't) seems to make a bit of difference.

Still good opportunity to Blog.

Football chant - I mean rant

Tynemouth is deserted! could it be that everone is watching the football? how much worse would it have been had Ingerlund been playing? What is it with these people they are obsessed with the game and will watch teams from other countries that they have no interest in usually.

I was disapointed to hear Chris Evans say it had got to a really exciting point!!- NO it hasn't!

The football season is over - over I say so why are we still bombarded with it????

I wan to live on an Island me, the dogs and a Thai House boy

Tra Laaa

Finally finished a big piece of work and got it in the post, I suspect that my colleagues in Leeds will have queries. Need to spend 15 mins tommorow tidying my desk. I am appalled at the mess.

Its like winter again so cold and wet, the heating is off now for the summer, and really I need to be getting out some big jumpers to keep warm. Every time the dogs and I go we get drenched and the smell of wet dog x 2 is not so good.

I was invovled in someting today, a situation and it was one of those where you just thank God it's not you or yours and heave a sigh of relief. But trouble and sleepless nights for another Mum.

Heard from a cousin in SCotland, his brother has had some treatment for a heart condition and because their Dad died in his 50's they are now part of a research project and had to list thier family health history - I am amazed that with all the heart attacks and strokes that saw off our Uncles and Aunts, any of my generation have survived - but I guess most of us are not 50 yet!
Still - if your;e breathing its a good day!

Night off

No gym tonight so really instead of sitting here having a blog I should be chasing Nico to brush him and dusting but.....

Did something a little different at work today our monthly departmental meeting was undertaken in the style of the Apprentice. A bit different lots of feed back but the question is will anything be done with the information/feedback?

ONe of the best mince and dumplings I have ever tasted tonight I wish I had taken a photo to show you all.

Right off now to catch up on Dawn Bibby and card making. God bless the person who invented Sky +.o

And for anyone interested Michael could'nt do the 'Are you smarter than a 5th grader' question either!!!

Don't panic buy fuel

It's easy to say that but.... there I was plenty of time to get to work so I thought I'd get my car washed (living at the coast the sea gulls like to use it for target practice) and tanked up with diesel. I tried 2 local garages are they have run out. I immediatley panicked - what if I could never get any again - what if I had to rush up to Hannahs (funny how you foget about trains in these moment!) I checked my fuel gauge and its half full so thats almost 150 miles - loads, but I'll still try again tommorrow. The car stayed dirty by the way becuase I refuse to pay for a car wash if they won't let me fill up.



'Tis a funny old world

Fathers Day

Fathers were very visual in Church this morning! We had a baptism so the Church is always full on such days. It was a lovely service and all the children were great. People get very stressed about children in Church but they are the future.

Took Nico to training classes (or does he take me?) anyway it was very different from last week and lots of dogs were in one class so we didn't get the one to one treatment that we had last week. He did well on sit, stay leave etc obviusly has had some training in the past. Not so good at walking on a lead - we need to practice a bit more. After 30 mins he was too tired to continue (it was warm and sunny) and fell asleep!

Met an ex work colleague from 10 years ago we used to work at Nat com Air together she recognised me but it took me a while to rember her name! her dog is a 7month collie called Eddie it was good to catch up.

My turn to edit the church mag this month so I have a busy 2 weeks and then of course I have my ODFC commitments!

Saturday

Its a fine day in Tynemouth, excercise class this morning . There is a big group of us so at least there is lots of support. I must make some card's so many birthday's coming up need to be organised.

and of course another fruit salad!

At last!

The only probelm with all this electronic stuff is that you have so may passwords to remember! But I did it at last. So Nico is settling well, its like having a toddler in the house everything has to go on a shelf out of his way!

Both Nico and Jasper love the beach and enjoy a swim - got it sussed now walk them home and they dry off. If you put them in the car they shed sand everywhere.
