Home Safe

Well my daughter is back. What tales she has to tell. Has certainly enjoyed her trip and has taken oceans of pictures and everyone a good one! Busy making a scrapbook of her trip looking good.

Been to the Tattoo with the Guide Unit I help at, which was really good, spoiled by an inconsiderate woman sitting in front of us. She had one of our quieter girls sitting behind her who accidentally knocked her chair and she gave her a row and soon afterwards said wish someone could control these girls. So to avoid any problems I swapped with her so she spent the rest of the time with my knees digging in to her back! Rough justice. I may be biased but our girls did us proud and behaved themselves really well.

Next night I was at a ceilidh which was great fun forgotten a few muscles I had not used for a while. The ceilidh dance class starts soon which is good. Talking of classes my swimming lessons started this Sunday so no wonder I was tired come Sunday evening. I will be fit some how or other.

Did I mention it is only 9 weeks and 3 days to New Zealand. I now have another mission to find a particular scarf for the friends that visited us earlier this year. A trip to the Royal Mile is on the cards. Off to collapse in bed!

Lucky to have a Job!

Well had bad times since I last posted. Lots of people at my work made redundant although I am lucky still to have my job - well not sure about that! May be time to change direction.

Off to pick up my daughter this week that's her adventure in NZ over with hard to believe it is over already. But hey there's always an upside - 10wk 2 days till we set off ourselves. Corsets bought and posted so don't need to worry about them. Bag almost packed as not needed any summer gear here this year. Keeping busy with my exercise regime and guides starts too so that will keep me out of mischief and the time will pass before I know where I am my butt will be spreading as I sit on a Jumbo somewhere across the Atlantic on my way.

Passed with Flying Colours!

Oh my God I had the honour of opening my daughter's exam results whilst she is away. There I was sitting with the envelope unopened waiting on her to answer her mobile and you know how hard that is trying to get teenagers to answer their phones! Anyway connection was made and envelope opened she says to me "if the letter says nothing about a fail I'm Ok" fortunately it didn't progressed on and she passed all her exams and got marks which I was happy with and she was really pleased with I think! Hard to tell over a mobile phone to the other side of the world!

Anyway no matter what I am proud of her and really pleased for her she can now relax for a wee while before starting Uni! As for the brains still trying to work that one out - where did they come from?

Bird Landed

Well my daughter has arrived safely. Had texts throughout her trip keeping me up to date. No matter what time I had a text. Last night was my first good sleep for 3 days no interruptions in the middle of the night to tell me she was in Bangkok wide awake and raring to go!

Corsets delivered safely and I am on a mission to find some more! Bought myself a new pair of comfy walking sandals for my trip to NZ and have put away some clothes as unlikely to wear them here with our weather! Did I mention its only 13 weeks now! At this time 13 weeks from now I will be over the pacific ocean heading for NZ on my last leg of my journey.

Flights have been changed but mean we arrive later in the morning which is good as the car hire place will actually be open when we arrive now.
