Anniversary

Hi Col, not sure I'm going to publish this but just felt the need to write.

I don't know how many oceans are between us but we share a couple of anniversaries over a couple of weeks right?

Not sure what it's like over with you Col, but over here, it's an odd time.  Everyone is so excited for Halloween then the 5th, Gun powder, Treason and Plot etc. then it's officially the run up to Christmas.  I'm all about acting scared when I open the door to little Hob Goblins on Halloween then from 1st November, Christmas begins to materialise before your very eyes.  I still have to get through 5th November though.

This week has driven me a little nuts.  Tuesday was Halloween, happy, happy, happy.  Wednesday it was really bugging me that I still hadn't heard about the job I'd applied for.  I'd got to the point where I really didn't care anymore... just tell me if I got through to interview or not... please just put me out of my misery.

Thursday I found out that I had an interview for next week.  Not going to stress over it, I'll do my best but if it's meant to be it's meant to be.

Friday I was off work and went work boot shopping with Jan, I'm currently walking/jogging 10 miles a day and needed new work footwear more than ever.  I got some ankle boots which are quite stiff around the back of my lower calf but my feet are comfy at least and they are Gortex too which I think is waterproof.  Bonus.

Sunday, the 5th, is of course rubbish but I got a couple of signs, as I arrived for coffee, part of a rainbow was right in front of me, on the way home from coffee, I had Gregory Porter singing Smile to me.  Both the rainbow and that song have a special meaning to me on this day so, I will gratefully and graciously accept them.

We began the day with icy rain, then came the sunshine, now we have a pastel blue sky.  I don't remember the weather fourteen years ago today, all a bit of a blur.

You're absolutely right... concentrate on the happy times, will try to remember that for next year x
