End of the Week
Been quite a good week at work. I’ve caught up with everything and I’m down to about 1 inch of filing (you know the sort that always lurks in the bottom of the filing basket – where you need to make up new files and can’t quite be bothered). Also got down to about 10 emails – imagine getting down to zero that would be so strange to see just a blank screen staring back at me.
Now that the evenings are getting a bit lighter Peter and I have been thinking that we should be getting out and about a bit more. A friend has pointed us in the direction of some interesting websites that are full of details of walks – some of them even have photos of part of the walk so that you have markers so you never get lost!

This week we’ve watched taped ‘Larkrise to Candleford’. As Peter says, nothing really happens - but it’s very watchable all the same.
Spoke to my best friend last night, the one with tendonitis, and she is now signed off work for even longer (up to mid March), with her on about £14 sick pay a day and her husband on invalidity benefit I really don’t know how they are going to manage. I’m going to see her tomorrow and get her out of the house for a few hours. I know if it was me and Peter stuck in the house together day in, day out, not working – we’d probably go stir crazy. Come to think of it, I don’t think we’d let it come to that – we’d probably go out walking somewhere – at least that is free!
I’m still addicted to past series of the wonderful BBC2 comedy ‘Still Game’ and another DVD arrived from Ebay yesterday of Series 3. Peter is rationing us watching it as he knows that if I really like something I tend to watch it all very quickly and then go “oh, I’ve watched it all now” and act all disappointed. It is hilarious though and I’ve even taken to watching sketches of the show on You Tube.
Mother’s Day is very early this year – Sunday 2nd March so we’ve been giving some thought today of where to take mum for a treat. We have decided we will go to The Vyne – National Trust Property – near Basingstoke. Although it’s too early in the year for the house to be open (missed opportunity NT?) as they open mid March, the grounds, nature trail, gift shop and tea room are all open so that should be grand.

What do you mean nothing happens in LR to C??!!! It's a bed of steaminess and trauma, with constant crises - it's just that they're all contained and bubbling away underneath. It's utterly gripping!!
