Happy Blogday To You
So what a lovely show the team put on for me today, surprises non-stop. The Golden Oldie from my Mum nearly set me off. . .
44 years now on the planet and I still feel like I did when I went to the big school, no older. Sure - I look older - but I feel and think exactly the same as I have always done.
D'ya wanna know a secret ?
I was up all night with food poisoning and had it not been my birthday, I would have taken a rare day off - felt like death warmed up to be honest. I just now worry for my fellow travellers on the plane to Portugal this afternoon !
Happy Easter you lot.

I've copied this from the previous blog
Happy Birthday Chris!!! I'm sorry, but I missed the show this monring, so will listen again if I can.
I've not made it to work today, I've been fighting a losing battle with sleep all night, down to a combination of toothache, hayfever and a bad stomach. Weird though, as soon as I'd rung in, I fell fast asleep for 4 hours.
So, a sofa day for me, Mr JG gone to ELH in a huff as there's no food in, and here's hoping I'm feeling better for my trip tomorrow - fingers crossed.
Right will catch up on this yesterday's blog shortly

If you were up all night with a dodgy tum, we certainly never noticed! You had so much energy this morning - it was shame to turn you off (so to speak!) when I arrived at work just before 9.
Hope the lurgie clears up soon - good point about the Thames water MTF! - and that you and the family have a lovely relaxy, chocolatey weekend in Portugal.
And JG - hoep you feel better soon too. Let Mr JG look after you and rest up until you're back to your old self.

Sleet and blustery wind here, Coldsville.
Chrissie, love the idea of a Vat of G&T , I found a dozen cream eggs in the cupboard this morning, which i havent bought. Think i will hide them from MrMC & see if he notices ;-0
Deevs, Temping has it good and bad points. I did it for a few weeks about 3 years ago. Some places were superb and some were like hell on earth. On the whole , the try before you buy seems to work well on both sides, but sometimes you just know you wouldnt want to be there for ever. Keep on going and I am sure you will hit the jackpot soon.
Will keep my fingers crossed for you .
Hope everyone has a nice Easter.

Not much to say apart from Hi!
But, apropos the creme egg in gin, on Something for the Weekend on Sunday the cocktail guy had put chocolate eggs into some kind of `adult pop` to take on the taste (think it was tequila?) and Louise Redknapp ate a whole one.. not sure if she made it to the end of the show!
And not jam donuts for me but am now contemplating a jaunt across the road to the Paddy McGuiness advertised place for a caramel donut with custard in the middle...Deevs, i`ll pick u a jammy one up whilst im there although i cant guarantee its delivery...

Have a cheeky little Cabernet Sauvignon in the wine rack for tomorrow (friend is staying over), but I could open it tonight if you're up for it.

Just zapped through a few posts again - going to scoot off to the post with a smile on my face - made me giggle Seza - agree - step away from the flash GM - preferably in my direction - like a tip here.
Just checked the rowing video too - Jonny's face is a picture - bless.

MTF, mSc and GM. Thank you for asking about the girls. The one who is 39 weeks Sunday is seeing midwife every few days, her feet and legs are badly swollen now and blood pressure starting to go up, she is being well looked after. Other daughter who is 37 weeks on Saturday, saw a very unhelpful consultant yesterday.So seen someone else today, who was very nice and talked through things with her, she is not getting very good treatment.
MTF, loved your April Fool, very funny!
JG, hope you feel better soon and will still be able to get away.
Gaily, nice your going to visit your mum, hope she is feeling better now.
Deevs, what horrible women, just to go off and leave you on your own.Hope you find something soon with nicer people to work with.

Elder boy out at an under 18s band night in town! He's getting a lift home with a friend but not 'til 11 - don't know if I can last the pace! Younger boy soundly asleep - lucky ducky.
I believe you've to have a lovely day tomorrow Annie. I'll be in Fife on Saturday for a week. Looking forward to it.
CSN, It is nice to go and see my old Mum but bless her she isn't as mobile as she used to be and she has vascular dementia so we end up having repeats of the same conversation. I try to answer the same question as many different ways as possible, just to give us a bit of a variation on the theme. Also, she had a fall on Sunday and has hurt her back. The pain seems to be getting her down so younger boy and I are on a cheering up mission this next week. I'm still in touch with a couple of pals at home so I'll catch up with them at some point and I'm seeing my niece, not sure about my sis, depends on how busy she is. It beats working that's for sure.

After doing the short stretch of motorway from Tiverton to Taunton and counting 79 caravans, luckily all heading in the opposite direction, I decided to take the cross country option.
Which takes me to, todays nature watch update.
For once, intstead of driving for 7 hours without a break, I decided to treat myself to half an hour off, in a little corner of paradise just overlooking the Somerset Levels.
Here lies a 'Heronry'
It is so close to the main road, yet you are in a totally different world. As soon as you step outside your car, the sound of birdsong is wonderful.
An 80 metre walk takes you to the heronry hide. At the moment, they are still nesting. The sight of these majestic birds flying in from all directions is amazing. There are 20 plus nests at the moment.
How they manage to land on their nests, which incidentally are very high up, must take precision navigational skills.
The noise they make is quite bizzare too. I have always thought of herons as being similar to the prehistoric terradactyl (SP?)
In the next week or two, all the babies will be born and then the show really begins.
As I came away from the hide, I was lucky enough to spot a small herd of roe deer. Tiny little things they are.
I then carried on my trip across the levels, which at the moment are covered in swans, lots of nest bulding going on there too.
They have to buld their nests out of reeds and make them pretty high above the water level, which can rise and fall very quickly when we are getting the amounts or rainfall that we are at the moment.
Anyway, home now and looking forward to catching up on the days posts.
I have gin AND creme eggs!
What do you reckon? Sink or float???
Here goes.......

I'm fairly rural in Lincolnshire but the most I see on my drive to and from work are magpies, pheasants and roadkill.
Glad you're home safe and sound. Enjoy the gin and egg - what is the verdict? sink or float? My guess is sink.
