On holiday - at last!



Well, I made it! I managed to be at work on a full-time basis for almost 3 weeks!!! Yay!

It did come at a bit of a price, mind you, as after a reasonably busy couple of days once term had finished, I had an awful CFS cold all day yesterday (Sunday) proving that I'd done too much. Maybe I was getting a little blase, or perhaps I was so caught up in the holiday spirit that I didn't realise I was overdoing things?? Who knows! After a full day's rest, I did feel a bit better today, but it didn't help that I had 2 dental appointments - one for a filling and another for a session with the hygienist. Somehow I didn't imagine it would be such a bad idea. But I was half way through my filling and I could hardly keep my mouth opened as my jaws ached so much. Knowing I'd to keep it up for the rest of the time and for the hygienist didn't inspire me with much optimism. When I came out from both appointments, I was elated. I don't think the nursing staff shared my feelings, though, as I'd forgotten my purse and so couldn't pay for any of my treatment!! Alan goes for his appointment on Monday, before finishing for the holidays, so he can sort out the cash then!

After a brief lunch visit with Dad, it was off home to snuggle up with my blanket, while willing Andy Murray to do well in the tennis. Sadly, it wasn't to be, but I did cheer myself up by watching the series finale of Desperate Housewives which I've very much enjoyed. I'm now officially a fan!!

Talking of series finales, did you see the ending of 24???? Poor old Jack - whenever things look good for him with respect to happiness or joy, you can bet your life that there's an organised gang ready to pounce. We'd all been wondering when the Chinese would get their own back on Mr Bauer, and so, Series 6 looks likely to be a political battlefield between China and America. I don't mind, but please don't bring back Kim Bauer!!

To be honest with you, I felt the last 10 minutes of 24 was a little of a letdown. Had the clock stopped when Jack met up with Audrey, then it might have been better. But, as it was, Jack went off to answer the phone with only 10 minutes to go. When we saw him again, seemingly 7 minutes later, there had been time for him to be beaten up, his face and eyes swollen with his injuries, and he was on a cargo ship bound for Shanghai! Wow - all in the space of 7 minutes????

Of course, we can all be armchair critics, eh? But I wouldn't mind working for the delightful Kiefer Sutherland. After all, we have so much in common. Seeing him interviewed on the Jonathan Ross show recently, I noticed that one of his pet sayings is, "Bless your heart!" Now where have we seen that before, I wonder...
