Well yes - that's what I have been - both busy and buzzy!
The busyness itself is brilliant - until I hit exhaustion and then I become entirely grumpy! The gentleness was wearing out a little last week am afraid! still - not for long and it's not something that can't be resolved by getting enough sleep!
Half term was generally brilliant - as expected!
We went to see the northern contingent for a weekend and shared Tapas and wine and rugby! it was faboolus! My sis is a brill cook!
I had lunch with work friends at pizza express , yum yum, yum yum yum etc and I spent time with another close friend here at home, I was pretty down for a couple of days but it was so good to just be able to call on my friend and know that she would come right over and just listen and chat and watch films with me! Friendship is such an amazing blessing!
Then I got an extra day at work each week for the next 5 weeks or so! I can't complain about that right....hmmm...or can I!?
So last week began and it was back to work after 2 weeks off - can't pretend I was looking forward to it - but hey once more into the fray dear friends, yet, I was pleasantly surprised actually.
Tuesday, I requested that we went for a quick run on the bike. It was Shrove Tuesday and I didn't have any eggs in, and Alex and I have given up take aways for lent so, as our last one, Alex suggested we pop down to Southwold, on the bike, for fish and chips! Very lovely it was too. We did however, go slightly a little bit wrong on the way there - ended up getting there too late for fish and chips so had to go to a pub (oh dear what a shame ey? ;-) ) still though - this meant we were very late home! oopsy!
Wednesday night, I started at the ladies small group (I'm going to leave it to you to guess which group Alex was at then!) It was a really lovely evening with new friends, great food and a brilliant chance to learn together! However I have to say it went on way past my bed time! I was out till 11:30 and with the new department the next day, the first week back at work and the first 4 day week in a long time - I was a very unhappy bunny come the end of Thursday. Cue lots of prayers and asking for forgiveness. I'm going again on Wednesday but hoping to be home a bit sooner to avoid some of the general spikyness!
Friday was utterly amazing though. Work was lovely and calm and I finished the day with an induction into the gym. It's free to members of staff, I have only promised myself to go once a week but I might be tempted to go twice at this rate!
Saturday was Alex's birthday - I got up and made him breakfast; bacon, croissants, honey, butter, pain au chocolat, asti, coffee - all very yum! Then we got up and went clay shooting with friends and family. It rocked - I had a go and hit a clay first time (note I'm not gonna go on about all the times I tried after that and didn't get any more)
Then we went to see Grandma Kay, and aunty Becky and Liz who were staying with her! Aunty Tricia and Becky. The flat was full, it was really lovely! Then off to a meal out - oohhh yeah! wow I love Alex's birthdays!!
Sunday - got up and ran Alex an unbirthday bath! Then Forge - totally rocked my socks off! Then off to lunch at Dawny's - yum yum yum! Back to Grandma Kay's, who had forgotten we'd seen her the day before but not to worry - she's still as cheery as ever! Prayers for Grandma Pat who is poorly! back home to tidy and back at work yesterday.
Today started with physio - this morning and will end with Sheila from Forge coming over for supper! I'm doing chilli - I've been looking into spiritual gifts and it would appear that one of mine is hospitality!! well probably best to check that one out with Sheila tonight!! lol
Still praying every day, did talk to people at church on Sunday and still working on the adventures yet to come! Phew!
sorry if this has bored you but just thought I'd catch you all up at once! Finally a few song recommendations -
