Things I have done this summer

Since I last posted I have....
* Started my NVQ (which is taking a while but I'm getting it done slowly but surely)

* Took the long wool dreads out and I now have mini ones.

* Tried anchovies (I didn't like them) and egg custard tarts ( which are really yummy and I now have a bit of a thing for them)

* Went to Greenbelt (which was great, I caught up with a load of people I hadn't seen for ages.)

* Went to Taize in France. ( Twas an amazing experience, so chillaxing and peaceful although it was so lively!)

* Went camping in the forest of Dean with Tim (Symonds Yat ia a lovely place and the weekend kinda restored my faith in humanity, some people are lovely). To tell the story. We were trying to blow the airbed thingy up with an air compressor that fits in the lighter bit of the car. Anyhow, it wasn't working so after I while I started using my lungs. A bloke from Mansfield comes over to help and lets us use his foot pump for the airbed, which worked really well. As well as al this, in the morning he came over to our tent to give us coffee and toast cos we didn't have a stove.

* Had sunny days out in the garden (although twas an appalling summer there were a few sunny days)

multicoloured dreads

I have them, no photo yet tho. Woo!

hmm...

I was travelling back from Coventry yesterday on the train and I noticed that there is a carpet trim on the shelves for putting bags on. I fond this concept quite amusing. Why put carpet on the ceiling? Honestly... How does that make sense? I suppose for very tall people it could cushion the shelf so they don't hit their head when they stand up but otherwise I really just don't get it.

Reunion

I went to the Second CR reunion thing on Tuesday which was fun :) We went to the studio then had chinese buffet and gaming after. Twas great fun, but I also found out that I'm appauling at computer games. I'm off up to Cov today just until tomorrow which should be good. Apart from that, I've been working, which I've been enjoying :)

Long time

I haven't posted in a long while for a few reasons... I've been pretty busy with work as of late, apart from that nothing much has happened recently really. I've had a couple of nice days with the family which has been lovely. We went up to Birmingham shopping which brought back some memories for me but hey. All in all my life isn't very exciting atm, butI've got a few things to look forward to in the future which'll be lovely.

Busy time

I went to London on Monday with Adam, was nice. Although I had a poorly tummy while I was there so we spent ages in Debenhams where there was a loo! Before that last week Adam came down to see me and we went to the cinema to watch that film 'fools gold' which was actually pretty good with reggae in it! Woot!

I started my work contract on Thurs and I'm sooo tired even tho I've only done two shifts! I think it'll take a while to get used to keyworking as well. I'm quite looking forward to my three days off tho so I'll plan stuff to do on them like going on short breaks etc.

I've been thinking a lot about peoples behaviour and what makes people have behavioural issues. Perhaps in the future I might do some training in learning disabilities and mental health, I think working in that field would be really interesting.

Right now I'm listening to John Barrowmans version of 'heaven' by Bryan Adams, it's gert lush, so's he! hehe.

Long time no see...

Yeah... It's been nearly a month since I last updated on here, since then I've been quite busy really with work and holiday!

I went to Cyprus, Ayia Napa in particular. It was lovely weather and I spent most of the time sunbathing or in the pool until I got the dreaded prickly heat.

When I got back I found a letter saying I got the contract at work I applied for. Now I can get on with saving up.

Adam came down for a bit which was nice although I was working sometimes. It was good to be looked after when I hurt my back and lovely to come home and him be there.
