Rain & a Good Old Clear Out
Happy New Year everyone - let's hope it's a good one! I had this message on my mobile from a friend which hits the right note I think "2008 is at the door ... remember, life is short, break the rules, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that made you smile".
Today we were supposed to be at Popham Airfield on our stall but I backed out last night and told Peter I didn't fancy freezing my wotsits off on my last day before going back to work. As it turned out it was raining heavily this morning so we couldn't have gone anyway (so that me feel a bit better about not wanting to go).
Peter decided to go to Blashford lakes today to do some bird spotting - he's pretty obsessed at the moment as he wants to make this a record year for the number of birds spotted. I think he has seen 47 species this year already! Anyway, before he went out we took all the xmas decorations down and hoovered up all the bits of tinsel. The place looks rather bare now but it's good to get it sorted today as I'll be taking decorations down at work tomorrow (how depressing!).
Once Peter had gone out I started on my first new years resolution of going through the house, room by room, and having a clear out. I managed to do my bedroom drawers which were full of pens, old bits of make up, odd earrings - you name it, it was in there(still the wardrobe to tackle) and the whole of the kitchen which is a good start. I have a whole bag full of kitchen gadgets, that I never use, to go to the boot sale.
Once Peter got home I stuck on one of my favourite movies of all time 'Trains, Planes and Automibiles', - it's hilarious and touching in equal measure and Steve Martin and the late John Candy are exceptional in it.
This evening we are going to watch 'Three Men and Another Boat' on beeb 2 which should be hilarious if the last one was anything to go by. Then I'm going to have an early night in preparation for the dreaded work tomorrow.
