Two days off work have done the trick. I'm totally chilled.
Made a really good Scouse (basically lamb stew but given the formal title of Scouse because it was made by a Liverpool Mother :D) on Thursday, which went down well with the boys. And I'm pondering copying the husband's croquette recipe either today or tomorrow - just not sure what to make them with.
I checked my work emails yesterday (yes, whilst on 'hols') but only to get rid of the junk that accumulates and found an invitation to a job interview on Thursday! So, I have that to prepare for over the next few days. It would be more of a sideways move salary wise - in fact, I'd have to negotiate for the upper end of the pay scale (assuming I'm offered the post, of course!) - but it would be a foothold somewhere new. It's just a boost to have an interview after so many applications - and at the very least it's interview practice.
I'm hoping to get into the garden today to prune the Scrambling Rose (it might be officially a climber, but it's so untidy I prefer the term scrambler) and to plant some daffodil bulbs. It's just a bit windy outside at the moment, which is putting me off. At the very least, I want to fill up the bird feeders, since I went to the trouble of buying the food!
I've written a new story for 70x700 featuring my occasionally recurring character DS Tom Harding. It's a multi-parter because you can't fit a whole murder investigation into 700 words but I'm going to spread out the other parts.
Um... Yeah... Life is really full at the moment, huh? And somehow it is. I don't have time to be bored but I get to the end of the day and really don't have much to reflect on. But I am getting stuff done - writing, job applications, gaming, cooking. Oh, and time with the husband and son, of course! So, another week slips by and we're 7 days nearer to Christmas!
Bye for now, DW.
