WELL WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT BIG ORANGE THING IN THE SKY.
I have to say...
...it's absolutely bloody gorgeous outside today.
Three days of more of the same to follow apparently with Monday being a scorcher !
So it's The Ryder Cup and beers in the garden for me and mine.
Just one point today...
How the heck have loads more traders made a load more money again over the last twenty four hours ?
Somebody somewhere is having a huge laugh at our expense. We must be mad to let them keep getting away with it.

Tash looks stunning in the wig Chris! I've always thought that if my hair all fell out I'd have wigs to match my moods. I'd also save a load of time in the mornings, and a fortune on styling products!
Happy Monday y'all!

lovely weekend for the weather although I was on nights so missed most of it
On Saturday afternoon an old mate of mine sadly died whilst playing football. He was our goalkeeper for years 'back in the day' at school, youth football and so on. Only 38 with a wife and son.
Will miss the 'big man', sleep tight Bunny

I moved into university over the weekend and it's a nice town and everything but is it right for me to be hating the uni and the people and the general feel of the place? Everyone else seems to get on fine with it...

Friend of mine left after 2 weeks cos she couldn't settle - perhaps it was the right decision for her (couldn't tell you, as unfortunately we lost touch) but I couldn't help thinking that she didn't give it much of a chance...
On t'other hand, if you give it a while and it's really not your thing, don't be too proud to admit it :-)

What is happening to the blog these days? I wonder if it has anything to do with the photos as the previous blog with the golf photies appeared late albeit not 3 days!
Well my weekend was chaotic as usual. Realised that the christening was on Sunday (makes sense!). Saturday - Did my egg run, ran out of packaging have to wait until Tuesday for new ones, fell asleep for an hour - (normally bliss, but meant I was running late for the rest of the day), Turkeys arrived. Sunday -Christening on Sunday (eeeearrrly!) over to In laws for lunch (lasts 2.5hrs) Helped mr Egg and F-i-L for a few hours, Granny egg appears to say kitten had to go to Vets (V. Weak and spaced out, spewing a lot! Overnight stay required)
This morning mend egg machine, pick kitten up from Vets, rescue ducks from septic tank, dog locked me out of truck - V. Late for work!
Now here at last.

Those wigs look like fun, although does wearing a wig make your head hot?
Ginembre, I'm so sorry about your friend, very sad.
Welcome back to everyone all fresh from their holidays, hope you all had good times.
Thank you for your good weather thoughts SBP - if everyone could start doing sun dances (like rain dances but backwards!) it would be much appreciated! Although it will be the day it will be. If it's raining I would like photo's of us under big umbrellas!
Tom, give it a while to settle. Give it a couple of weeks to find your feet and you may find you feel different when you start getting into the lectures etc properly. Although that said, I actually changed universities after the first semester. I made some great friends in the few months I was there, and 10 years later am still in touch with some of them. But the course wasn't what I really wanted. So after a lot of upheaval and it was incredibly difficult from a paperwork, and personal point of view I moved to a different uni. I was much happier there, but it took much much longer to settle in and make friends etc the second time around because everyone was already settled. So speaking from experience, give yourself a semester to see how it goes (it will go quicker than you'd think!) then if you still really are not happy you could think about going else where.
In the meantime, I have 4 days before I drag all my luggage on to the big metal birdie to fly home for a little party. Although the rings still aren't finished, the car broke down last week and is still in the garage, and still have a million and one things to do! Oh, and the future Mr Dragon is at a conference ALL WEEK.
Me? going mad...?
nooooooo............ gin anyone?

I guess I should just stop thinking about it now, will drive myself mad (madder).
On a brighter note another job applied for today.
