March 3rd 2012

It's Saturday and the first thing I have to tell you is, you know that I always love our phone catch ups, but Thursday's call really did cheer me up and I must have sounded like I was moaning for England, but telling you what's going on with jobs, pay etc, really did lighten the load, (it got worse on Friday by the way... our pensions contributions go up next month, with no option or further benefit, so I'll be almost £20 worse off from April.)  Anyhoo, as I was saying, I must have sounded like a right moaner but I felt better for telling you all about it, and we hand a laugh anyway, didn't we ;)  God I miss you.

The working week flew by, not in a good way.  It was stressful, (I hate that word,) hectic, pressurised, frustrating.  I still didn't sleep though, Thursday, I clocked around 3 hours, it was past midnight when I finally drifted off and awake around 3.45am.  The stitches may have had something to do with it, but they were removed on Thursday afternoon.  So glad to have those out, they were becoming more sensitive than the cut itself.  Anyway, I'm healing up nicely and by next week, I'm sure I won't be able to feel a thing.  Can't wait to show you my scar on my next visit.

It's a gloomy and rainy day here today.  I was aiming to head home and cut the grass but it's not looking too good at the moment.

Did you know that the legend that is; Engelbert Humperdinck is to represent the UK in the Eurovision?  I'm amazed that someone like him would even consider it and intrigued to know who the heck thought of asking him in the first place.  Absolute genius.  No idea of the song yet, not entirely convinced it's even been written yet, but whatever it is, he'll belt it out like a pro, I'm actually quite looking forward to Eurovision this year, for the first time... well... ever.

In case you're racking your brains for the name of one of Engelbert's major hits, (I know that we're both too young to remember...)  here you go...

In case you're wondering, he'll be the oldest in the competition at 75, GO HUMP!  I think that's what they call him x
