There I was minding my own business admiring the snowdrops when
all of a sudden the dirty stinking water from the bird feeder ended
up all over my head and to say I smelt like a sewer is putting it mildly.
Lesson learnt - don’t forget to give the birds fresh water regularly.
Someone posted this on Facebook this week, it’s our exam results
from school in 1972. For some reason my six C.S.E. results are not in there
or my typing but at least I got some recognition for my Office Practice skills.
My first job on leaving school was in the accounts department at
Rediffusion television. My dad got me the job, one of the customers
of his mobile fruit & veg van “The Fruit Bowl” was the manager there.
Fortunately my low grade in maths didn’t put them off employing me.
The original school which was a girls grammar school, then a
high school for boys and girls has been knocked down in recent
years and replaced with a modern building.
This week we’ve woken up to some amazing misty mornings,
only to be replaced within no time with winds and rain every day.
So I’ve not been anywhere, preferring the warmth of home
and the comfort of a nice hot cup of tea, a bit of stitching, reading,
shouting instructions to Alexa to play various genres of music
depending on my mood and what I’m doing. My best friend’s
dad has had me listening to James Taylor this week. Great music
for crafting along to.
My fixation with creating online jigsaws from my own photographs
and improving my word skills with scrabble and the latest once a
day Wordle puzzle continues. Apparently it’s been sold for
millions to the Americans.
Watch out it’s addictive
Nothing to see here this weekend apart from a couple of
friends calling round for a beer or three.
We will be watching The Great British Pottery Throwdown.
Last weeks episode was my favourite so far, creating vessels from the
1960’s. I’ll be giving the BBC 1 new thriller Chloe another go.
I’m not to sure about it yet. Hasn’t there been some brilliant dramas
on recently. I was hooked on The Responder with Martin Freeman,
it was very intense.
Hopefully we will get some milder weather soon and things
will continue to pick up.
Have a lovely weekend.
