Another Week

So another week is over.  These weeks are flying by and while I have much to look forward to; my cousin's wedding, my long awaited two weeks off work and my root canal, (I'm serious, cannot wait to get it done,) they are flying by at an alarming rate and at such a pace that each evening, I feel more shattered than the last. 

We are well and truly in summer Col, one afternoon this week, driving home from work, my car temp gauge registered 32 degrees, which as you well know, is hot hot hot, for here.  Despite the air con in work, I feel drained by the time I have driven home.   It's supposed to be cooler next week and to be honest, I'll be happy to sleep soundly again.

Abscess, as you can probably gather is worse, only two weeks to go until my appointment at the dentist, ankle is tons better, (did I tell you I sprained it?) it's pathetically weak though and the slightest anomaly, uneven curb, pot hole, cobble stones... sends twinges up my leg.

Today I've had a day off, gosh it was much needed, I've been tired this week but what time did I wake up?  Yep, only 10 minutes after my usual time, I was awake at 5:05.  However, I've had a really lovely day off, I had a leisurely first part of the morning, I downloaded another workout to try, put a wash load in, watched a bit of Desperate Housewives, showered and had fruit toast for breakfast.  Jan arrived at 9.40am and we headed off to Chester.  It's years since I've been there and it's so close, still, off we headed.  We had a tight schedule as Jan has a wedding to attend tomorrow and she needed to have a lazy-ish day today.

We kicked off with coffee and a catch up, have to say I mostly listened but it was lovely.  We then hit a few shops and were very disciplined heading in and aiming for just the things on our lists.

Top of my list was lace to add to my possible facinator for Philip and Kate's wedding, (I say possible as it's a toss up between the new one, purchased in the sale, and the old one... the one I had for Donna's wedding which also goes perfectly with my dress... except I'm still deciding between two dresses.)

We arrived back at mine, Jan tried on her two possibilities for Philip's wedding and for the wedding she's attending tomorrow and I gave me seal of approval and offered my opinion on which dress for which wedding.

After Jan left, I grabbed a quick water then headed out to do some chores but it was lovely to just browse, hitting the shops I usually don't have time for and to pick up a few things I've been looking for to help me get organised. 

I'm feeling lucky and so I've bought a lottery ticket for tonight and one for tomorrow night so you'd better make up my bed ;)  Jupiter or... some other planet is in my... something, which is bringing tremendous luck, I swear I can feel it.

Hair is ridiculously long, OK, not Elle Macpherson long but long enough for me that I can't do anything with it other than pile it up and hope it stays.  I'm on the hunt for a new style but with my hair, not sure what else I could have?

Are you watching the Commonwealth Games?  I usually loathe opening ceremonies but I have to say that I think that Glasgow got it mostly spot on, the most entertaining opening ceremony I've managed to sit through for a while.  Thought all the artists were great, loved the flash mob effect, adored the Scottie dogs leading out the teams, where else would you get that?

My laptop is heating up beyond safe parameters so I'm going to post and sign off.  I will be back soon x
