Sexy Sean

I can't lie, Sean and I had words as we left Manchester, he gave me the silent treatment for the first ten minutes of journey as we left the car park, (no GPS signal,) then he kept insisting on taking me down one ridiculous back alley after another followed by roads to nowhere so I chose to ignore and headed for the first big blue sign I could see with my in need of testing eyes.  An hour later and after only sporadic input from my sexy Irishman, (I forgive him as it was basically a long straight road,) we arrived at the destination.

Had a lovely afternoon, but not one spoken word from me was positive, considering what's going on in the world, my negatives are nothing but finding it difficult to source anything positive to report just now.  Didn't leave until late, not late by any normal persons standards but I could feel my eyes closing on the way home and by the time I was driving along the rural part of the '56, I had total blackness in the rearview and only my headlights to the fore, I could quite easily have let my eyes gently close and stay that way.

I still hate coming in on my own in the dark, even after all this time, you would think I would be used to it by now.  I had a shower and then of course was wide awake so I posted to you and did a career quiz courtesy of iVillage.co.uk and I'll post the results later.  By the time I did the quiz, I was starting to feel sleepy again and was only half concentrating as Victoria Wood was on TV and singing this really funny song, but the results are still interesting.  I may re-take the quiz now that I'm awake to compare the results and see if the true me was revealed after all.

I dreamt last night that a woman stopped me and asked where I'd bought my bracelet from...if only. 

I woke at 6.30 this morning and my hips were complaining from all the walking of yesterday so I decided to give the jogging a miss and uploaded more items onto Amazon instead.

Watched a lovely man called Eoin Finn doing yoga on TV this morning at some beautiful location while I Special K'd.  If I could stretch like that I think I'd be 2 inches taller.

Well, that's all for now, I have Grey's to catch up on and my date with the Boys in Blue later on before I prepare for the week ahead, (Bondi Rescue boys in blue, not the police.)  Try as I might to find the positive, I imagine there will be more bad news from work tomorrow but I'm just going to go with the flow and not get too hung up about things, I'll worry about how I'm going to pay the bills at the end of the month...which is in eleven days time.  Hmmmmmm.

You would be very happy in a career that utilised your level-headedness, and allowed you to work mainly on your own. You want a career that allows you to be creative, without having to be involved with lots of people. Some careers that would be perfect for you are:
