Pooped! that's it - absolutely exhausted - why so after a day off...how strange; I'm not on my own though it seems that most people keep going until their day off and then collapse!! Pete is just the same this week - looking forward to a couple of solid weeks off at the beginning of October.
Thursday was a triumph - I got home early and even though I sunk a bottle of wine within 20mins flat and had to hold my foot against the oven door to stop it opening (catch broken) I still managed to pull together a steak tea for Peter! RESULT.
Feeling a little guilty though - might be over thinking as usual but...bumped into wife of a friend in Tescos on Thursday - passed pleasantries - as you do - and scuttled off with a laugh and a joke but...I know something was not quite right with her - almost as if she wanted to tell me something - or at least be asked, now I do not know her well at all so I'm sure she wouldn't have expected me to ask but you know when someone is crying out for shoulder - without saying a word.....I won't make the same mistake again. On the flip side - a very good friend - also in a situation - this week had not said a word and I took it upon myself to almost pull it out of her and now wonder if I interfered too much! Damned if you do - damned if you don't eh!
Decided NOT to go to Bridlington yesterday - instead had a great day out with Pete in Lincoln - I even dragged him to the Cornish Pastie shop! Pastry, potato, starch and more starch - love it!
How odd the weather is - found myself looking at wintry clothes and bought a winter coat - this is not right in August surely - no mind though as I do love the change of seasons! Oooh ooohh also got 2 CD's Mapp & Lucia read by Miriam Margolyes and Agatha Christie short stories read by David Suchet - fantastic bargains and brilliant to load onto IPOD for late night listening - ie. not to wake Peter!
Perfect sedentary Saturday evening - bottle of Prosecco; antipasti, cheese & biscuits whilst watching Blackpool! Great series - Singing Detective type'esque - David Morrisey plays a blinder!
And so to now - Saturday - listening to Q&A on radio 4 (God I'm getting old!) trying to ignore the clock - tick tock - time to get ready for work.
A Bientot.
About Me
- Pollyanne
- Skegness, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
- Pollyanne; aptly named I consider myself a "Pollyanna" of sorts - someone who seems always to be able to find something to be "glad" about no matter what circumstances arise. It is sometimes used pejoratively, referring to someone whose optimism is excessive to the point of naïveté or refusing to accept the facts of an unfortunate situation. I suppose it's for others to judge whether this is accurate or not - either way life throws up it's challenges over this we have no power....we do,however, have the power to choose how to continue; in the same direction - in a different direction or somewhere in the middle?
