Rock & Roll

Well...sat in the flat...dressed for outdoors and feeling the cold!!! Storage heater is on and warming up....feeling a bit naff...is it man flu or is it fatigue.

Me and the boys hid at Lochinch yesterday...the weather was not as bad as had been expected BUT the wind was horrendous!!....so we made planters...finished off digging pits...cut stuff for storm kettles and painted dad's old tool box to be used as a window box..and today....2 different early years settings...lots of ground work to change into a learning area....frantic....actually...reading this....yip...definitely tired!!!

For a relaxing weekend?...well....need to get a move on and prep the flat for primer and paint!...so...sanding all weekend..although I have not put stuff away in preparation...so that will be half a day away....but you know...ime nae bothered....I need to sit down for a bit!!!! Up early tomorrow and plug away...I think I have managed to snaffle some more cd storage so need to pick them up...oh bother....it will be a late night tomorrow...but..with the walls and ceilings sorted...that will be the end of the messy bits...hopefully!

Last weekend was full on as well...down to Strathyre..to see the family and the bar....what a weekend!!!...was slightly teary on the way back....had forgotten how much I love them all and miss them so....was too long since the last visit...for a number of reasons...over a year...so..ace to be there...crap to be here...well..that feeling has faded and settled back into my home and my work. If I could...I would be there now....although my liver may not be so happy about it.

I have next week to plough through....possibly literally....and then off for a good 2 weeks...my goodness...I do need this time off...never mind the bloody teachers....I need it physically, mentally and emotionally....how will I feel on Christmas Day...single and with dad gone..?...not sure but however I feel I will let it roll over me and take it all...however...I do think there will be a lot of painting involved...and burning in the garden....with the help of Simon....busy as usual but I am determined to have the livingroom sorted for Christmas and hopefully the hall and kitchen...and then on to my blood red bedroom...grief...I cannot wait until that happens!!!!

Spare room will be last with the built in wardrobe dismantled but then need to find a stand alone wardrobe...never ends!!!!
