Yes indeed it is me and it is the start of a new week here already. I see that Mick is taking a break – which I can understand so thought I could start the week. Sorry folks no jokes that I can come up with. Take care Mick.
It never rains but it pours. Literally. Its been a very very wet weekend with several parts of the country lashed by storms and a state of emergency in some places. We were OK but ran out of firewood and hopefully delivery will happen today. You start to worry when you look longingly at your FB friends’ posts of blazing fires – this is my new porn!
I am feeling very cooped up, in more ways than one. Been finding it hard to post because I really do not have much positive to post and we are now caught up in Mr GB’s redundancy process. I had a good talk to my nephew yesterday (he is an accountant) which was helpful – but no magic bullets. Then yesterday learned that a good friend overseas has died so that is sad.
Pauly – please let me and everyone else know how you are. Thinking of you.
Lav – my weather always seems to be the opposite of yours. Heat and humidity or wet and freezing? Take your pick?? Hope you are surviving the grumpy patient. My Mr GB is not too bad this weekend – but he sure gets away with a lot of laziness because I don't want to ‘hassle’ him. I think you will know what I mean.
SF and PQ. I don't mind travelling to different countries and I think I can handle being in cultures where booze is a way of life. I live in one already!! Besides Det there are many cultures where boozing is not the norm or not the way we do it so well in the West. If you seriously are going to look into ESL type teaching you need to do some courses first and I would suggest volunteering locally where you live. Lots of refugees/migrants need this help. There must be such organisations coordinating these kinds of activities. Seriously – think about getting involved with a culture where booze is a taboo. And I bet the food is delicious!
Sam – hope its all going well. And you too Mr G. Real wild weather here and no one is at the beach. We are having a combination of king tides (which also affect our many inland tidal rivers) and a deluge form the heavens and so many washed out roads and slips. Some poor folk have had to be evacuated from their homes.
Anyway big hi to everyone else and I will keep pushing on regardess. Hopefully a good walk today and an exciting trip to the supermarket.
