Back to work

Today the weather suits my mood - I have to go back to work tomorrow after 2 weeks off paid but not holiday! The surgery had to shut for 2 weeks for renovations and therefore we couldn't go! What a shame!

I have had a nice fortnight - a quiet night away with G, a mooch to the beach for brekky, and a six mile walk involving 5 kids a dog and kite flying - it's been great.

Today though I am wishing that I had done more. More baking, more sewing, more walking, more playing, more gardening, more knitting. More everything really. I feel that I have wasted an unexpected treat of not having to go to rubbish work.  SO, this week I am planning on trying to do one thing on my list each day - before or after work or what ever, but maybe bake on monday night and knit on tuesday.. 

Ballet confidence

This week I have been to ballet and had the same teacher twice - once for FDI ballet and once for Advanced One ballet. The teacher in question was Miss Heather. She is lovely.

After class on Wednesday I gave one of the teachers a lift home as she was very unwell - she threw up 4 times before I got her home.

On friday I did more of a dancing class, and at the end of it Miss Heather pulled me aside and said that I need a big confidence injection. I think she is right. I had to work very hard when I was younger to get good and since the babies I feel that all the hard work has dissolved into a heap of chunky thighs, flabby tummy and lost turnout - It probably isn't as bad as I think I look but it is how I feel.

I guess I need to work harder. Just where do you find the time to fit it all around life!

Voting

Yesterday I went to vote, I shall not divulge how I voted as it's my business not yours!!

However when G and I went at 6 in the evening to vote at our registered polling office we were slightly astounded by how quiet it was. We asked the 2 chaps there how busy had they been, and from 7 in the morning including us they had had 127 voters through the door. 

"Oh" I hear you ask, "you must live in a tiny village"

No, sadly not the case, I live in a built up area full of people. Apathetic and lazy people who can't be bothered to cast their vote, and who spit feathers when they don't like what's going on!

It's no surprise that the country is the way it is!
