Getting out of my comfort zone

Morning

not sure *good* is the way you'd describe it, but at least there's been a fair amount going on further back; the front is a bit boring.

No safety car, which is always good.

I agree not one of the best but incident free which is always good and they seem to be closer together than the beginning of last season so hopefully it will not be a one horse (or one driver) race but Vettel is going to be hard to beat.

Have a good day.

Hi Gill

Sounds like life is still eventful... Hope you do manage to rest and relax and look after you too...

Isn't the weather lovely today, at least once the mist went.

I'm going to go out early to Zumba, and walk the long way round as its so nice, so instead of a mile, its nearer 2 miles; but will just walk back the normal way as it will be dark by then.

Neither sister nor brother visited Mum over the weekend, its like they've decided they can get on with their lives now
She was home for some of the time, and the aunties came to the house to see her, so that was good. But it did make her very tired.
We'll see what happens tonight, as I'm not there.

Spent money on bottled water, which I really resent, but the water in the hotel bathroom isn't drinking water, and I forgot to bring some from home. I go through a pint or two during the night.

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Resisted the temptation to buy chips on the way back from Zumba, but never went back out for food, so really looking forward to brekkie!

Not planning on spending money today.

I never know quite what to do about breakfast in hotel. At home I survive on numerous cups of tea, can't face food first thing, never have. But I've paid for breakfast. So I generally manage some fruit, yoghurt, coffee and toast as I've generally been up since about 6. Today I had more to set me up for the day, but my system just isn't used to it, so was really tired. Or it may be the silly clocks confusing me!

Went out for lunch today, so not a NSD, but a few people were going over the road to the pub, so I joined them. Nice to get out a bit. Manager hasn't been in for a while due to family problems, so no idea about contract, but in a meeting last week used the expression " if you leave this till May, Gill may not be here" which considering I should have left at the end of January, seems hopeful.

This evening, am going to go for a long walk and then have something light. Off to see what everyones been up to.

You must have been starving this morning! I never eat the very first thing, only after an hour and a half or so, but then I have a humongous bowl of porridge with seeds and honey and cornflakes

Taking a nice walk sounds lovely - I was out earlier on as well, found *another* public footpath through wild gardens out into the countryside, and again only 5 minutes from the house :j

Have had no internet, it's only just come back on, major outtage in the area, so lots to catch up on.

Back later.

Saw you briefly on DT's thread - update please sorry you've had an outage

Happy Mother's Day

internet outtage was weird, firstly last weekend router started acting up. We finally got it working with wires. Then, on Friday all of virginmedia in the area went off, started working again yesterday, so jumped on DS PC so I could print stuff out, but my netbook still wouldn't connect.

So, update.

Good news, Mum is now out of hospital.
Bad news, Mum is out of hospital, but without any sort of care package. Basically she wasn't ill enough to be there any more, but isn't totally helpless at home. They will presumably get their act together eventually, she doesn't need full time care, but needs people to keep popping in to do stuff for her. She's still on crutches, and isn't allowed to stand, or get her leg wet. So, a lot of time spent running up to Mum's to do her dinner etc. Will try and ring Social Services in the week to chivvy them along.

So anyway, back to work tomorrow, so will see if sister calls in each night.

No idea where I am with money, as have been buying stuff for mum, paying her bills etc., but at least I now have the money spare to do it.
