A puppet on a lonely string

Yesterday was a good day. Today is not a good day. Just tell me why workplace communication is SO difficult? Is joined up thinking SUCH a crazy idea? Is caring about what you do TOTALLY pointless?

Anyhoo, this is what I listen to when I need a lift...I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to it today. Enjoy and be inspired along with me.....

Moving on up

Nearly managed to not blog at all in September. Really, that won't do.

Apologies for my absence [did anyone notice?]Been a bit low over the past few weeks, and didn't want to turn to blog into a whinge and rant fest. No - I have another blog for that..hee hee!

So, we holidayed. Gite No. 1 was lovely. A new area for us. A covered pool, which Laura adored, and even made me consider [very briefly] rejoining a gym so i could swim more often. Gite No.2 was our usual haunt : Penderff in Brittany, and was fantastic. Felt like coming home, which after four vists is hardly surprising. It's like staying with old friends without the hassle of hogging the bathroom and using all the hot water. We socialised with our hosts at least 4 nights out of 7, and when I say socialised I really mean drank enormous quantities of cheap french wine. It was lovely, and was really the relaxation I needed. A more detailed holiday post with photos (for marketing purposes!) will appear shortly. Anyway, holiday was OK...but two weeks in the company of family 24/7 seemed like a long time to me.

I had another birthday, and channelled my inner Kirstie Allsop by getting gorgeous bric-a-brac from a Bricante. Honestly this chap must be praying we come back next year the amount of money husband spent at his shop! Photos of purchases also to follow.

My parents gave me Lakeland vouchers, and I bought icing kit, because I am heavily into cupcakes at the moment. I actually have a photo this time:



My fantasy is to set up a little sideline in cakes and facepainting....watch this space.
