Well its been a little while since my last blog, or rant, depending on your point of view. I never give them a title till they are finished, mainly due to the fact that I never know where they will end up when I start. I just start writing, and see where it takes me. As anyone who knows me well will tell you I can talk for my country. I'm just gutted that it isn't an Olympic sport, especially with 2012 on its way.
I am pleased to say I am returning to work next week, so will probably be too tired to blog for a while. I imagine I won't be so pleased once I've been back a few days, but they are such a great bunch to work with they make it all bearable. I'm hoping there will be lots of gossip to catch up on to keep me amused for a couple of days.
What has been nice about the last week is I've been feeling a bit more human, so been able to catch up with people I don't get to see often enough. Its nice to have a bit of time to just sit and talk to people without worrying about having to be somewhere else. Also its been nice to spend time with CC and Hubbs without being totally exhausted. Although we haven't had much family time as Hubbs has been working. I've even managed to get some washing out on the line for the first time this year, so I don't care what anyone else says, I'm declaring spring to have arrived!
CC had set her heart on baking some cupcakes, so at the weekend we had a trip to Morrison's for the ingredients, and voila! We produced red velvet cupcakes no less. It all started from an advert for a baking magazine that comes with silicone bakeware, it got her thinking, then insisting on buying some silicone cupcake cases, and the rest as they say is history. The cases only cost 79p, but the whole exercise ended up costing a small fortune! But we did make very nice cakes. The problem is now, she's got a liking for it, and we have all the stuff so she wants to do it again. I'll be turning into a real girl at this rate......nah, only kidding!
I had a brief trip out on Friday to say goodbye to a colleague who was leaving. Just stayed for a glass of lemonade (I treated myself and didn't have diet, but I hadn't eaten, so figured I could manage the sugar!) and an hour before they went off for a meal. I was too shattered to go the distance, but it was nice to see people out of work. It was a real trip down memory lane too, as it is years since I was in the pub we were in. Have lots of happy memories of nights out around the area many years ago. Reminded me of people I haven't seen for years, and one or two I'm glad I don't!
So thats enough looking back, time to look forward. I'm not sure what this week will bring, but I'm sure there will be cupcakes involved somewhere, and I'm hoping there will be some sun. I really want to get out in the garden and start tidying up now ready for the nice summer I'm wishing for. I even bought some hanging flower bags today in anticipation. Not that I'm up to much more than armchair gardening at the moment, but I'm very good at delegation, so brace yerself Hubbs!
Enjoy spring springing everyone!
