Rants, raves, ramblings.....you can keep a daily online journal on these pages. It's a great way to stay in touch with family and friends.

Today I have mostly been ill

Today I am unwell.  I have been since Tuesday.  Not fatal or anything but a particularly lethal strain of the cold or bird flu as some would have you believe.  I am currently eating my way through a box of Cold Relief Capsules however I'd probably find it more beneficial to bang my head off the wall at the moment.

Unfortunately tonight whether ill or not I have to make my presence felt at my cousin's birthday/house warming party.  Normally I'd decline since I'm such a bore but she was in New Zealand for her 30th last year and it really would make me look like a horrible person if I didn't go at least long enough to remind her that she is in fact getting on a bit and also that I am still miles behind her.

[April 28, 2006] Stopping work what a joy!

It is supposed to be joy to stop work for holidays but yesterday it was nothing but a nightmare.  This was probably made all the worse because I was feeling unwell but nevertheless I couldn't help but feeling more stressed when leaving than I should have.  As you probably all know the inevitable happens - you stop - someone has a problem - they don't know how to fix it - so you return to a mountain of problems and this makes you ask the question was it worth me going away at all. 

However on a more enjoyable note I do get to go away with my Gran for 4 nights to the lovely Portpatrick where we will be staying in a gorgeous hotel with a delicious seaview.  www.mountstewarthotel.co.uk

 

When we are away down in Portpatrick I am really hoping that we get to go to a castle.  I haven't been to a really good one in ages and I also have my National Trust Card that needs a good bashing to get my money's worth from it.
