Yawnnnn...

Oh, I want to go back to bed! Couldn't believe it when the alarm went off this morning.
Well, we didn't win last night, but came 2nd. Simply not on form - the football fanatic didn't know how many panels there were on a football, and the rugby fanatic wasn't sure where the 2007 rugby World Cup was going to be held. But it was a lively night - everyone was talking over each other, and now I have a headache, despite having had only one drink. Rhiannon did the questions because Clive has lost his voice and it went well, even if Rhi the solicitor started it off with a disclaimer! Judging by the argument over some of the answers, maybe just as well - and I think Clive neatly excaped the controversy by giving them to Rhiannon.

I have to get on with writing next week's Hallowe'en quiz in the next couple of days...

Fortunately, everyone is free this weekend, so we are going to make a big inroad into the accumulation of drink tickets we've acquired since Xmas on Friday night.

(I just picked up an outside call as reception must be busy. He asked for me, and went on when I identified myself - and now I just realised I have no idea to whom I was speaking! Thankfully, he's faxing me, so I will be able to know then... I guess I'd better get a coffee...)

*sighs of relaxation*

I am so having an early(ish) night tonight. I worked about an hour late, so I ran into the Ramadan taxi shortage again, and then spent nearly a half-hour sitting in reception reading the paper.

Home to yummy post: new & needed work shoes via e-bay, but best of all, my sock yarn & stitch markers from Marna at www.curiousyarns.co.uk. It looks good enough to eat, definitely smells GETE, (the sweeties enclosed might have something to do with that!) and the stitch markers are just so gorgeous they may very well end up attached to some wires & worn as earrings. Never will I outgrow my Bet Lynch moments!

And my junk mail included a competition entry to win a year's free gin & tonic - HOW DID THEY KNOW?

My new userpic...

is via interlock and is inspired by a character of hers that I kind of fell for after reading this week. even if he would only like me if I were a boy...

The pooch will reappear, no doubt, but this is a nice rich velvety dark autumnal train of thought... mmmmmm...

My nephew, Kyle, has a female admirer, Samantha, who also started school this year. She calls to him every morning to come sit with her on the bus. I knew her dad, who was a very slight chap, and apparently Samantha is a little titch herself.

Last week, Samantha was the flower girl at a family wedding, and my sister-in-law took Kyle to church for the marriage ceremony. Samantha caught sight of Kyle as she was demurely heading up the aisle, and as she passed by, gave him a big wink.

It reduced everyone in the vicinity to giggles, and Samantha's mom, who was sitting on the other side of the church to panic, wondering what she'd done!
