wooah

Been a long time. Life is like a rollercoaster at the moment. Lincoln castle, Lincolnshire show, lots of messing about as a medieval minstrel, I am so lucky, not ever gonna be rich, but does that really matter?...

Distance

The end of a very busy, memorable four months... The manor house has turned on its axis. I have spent weeks sawing up bits of wood, painting in bits of wall, repairing stuff, making stuff. I can honestly say I have had a ball! I wish I could do this stuff all the time. Back to children and tours in a couple of weeks, oh well!.... My mind still wanders about distant visitors. Good to keep busy. Sorry to be so distant El. Life has been so busy, you are never far from my mind.

I'm..

Still here, just very busy and very tired....

the warming sun

yep. 7 every morning my son awakes me to the warming sun, even though I would really like to stay in bed for a while longer as christmas comes but once a year, thank the lord ( ...!!).

Karma has not been on our side. Mrs somers cut her hands (both) on a glass, so we had a trip to minor injuries in pouring rain, which also gave the silencer on my car the opportunity to splice in half and growl like a rotweiler. Ooh, and sam did a somersault down the staircase, like a rumanian acrobat. It is going well.

Car cost £50. Thanks enermously to Paul the mechanic. Mummy cant peel spuds, looks like it's my job. Sam ok but hopefully learnt a lesson to not arse around on the stairs. My blood pressure is 250 over 250 probably as is mommas. I have aquired a casio keyboard though which is christmas in advance for me. (Its the only thing I really desired anyway, along with some solitude to play with it).

I was lost but now I am found..(under the cupboard)

Woo-hoo. The bluetooth dongle I lost about three months ago has been found. I decided to hoover under the drawers in the back bedroom and it appeared! This means I can now post pictures. I could have done this anyway, but it meant using either the netbook or smartphone, both of which take nanoseconds longer to use, therefore mr lazy chose not to!

Samuel has made his first pot!! Genius! I'm so proud. He's very laid back about it all. The photos are at home but he actually made it at school with proper teachers!

Christmas has come and gone at work. I can't believe another year of craft fair and guitar playing and carols has passed. We are now closed until April for building work, to turn us into a wedding venue.....

Burn baby burn

Yep. Blogethergy is contagious and very, er, oh I can't be bothered to explain. Damn- there it is again! We must scribble, ok, type, our way through this plague and try to resume our normal, totally abnormal virtual existance in our make belief world!! Anyway. I've just had a bonfire and a bottle of wine so feeling social for once, which is quite unlike me at the moment. The events of just lately at work have made me feel quite insular, very unconfident and totally distrustful of my fellow homo sapiens. Mainly due to one evil person (and I don't use that term lightly, if ever..) The trouble with working with the public is it makes you very tired and weary of the public. When your own collegues (ok, collegue.. singular) turn on you, it really does make the shields go up. Anyway, enough of that. Sticking your metalwork in the bonfire really does medieval it up...
