working  (lol) allegedly.

Dave i am shocked that you would pick on poor Norma like that. hopefully she will give you a kick on the shins (all she can reach) by way of a greeting.
Being so tall myself i might punch your knee caps on her behalf.

Do you know ive been working all day from home doing accounts and Year end stuff, ive had my head down minding my own business, and i felt my ears burning, so thought its got to be my lovely friends on buk saying lovely things about me. Im glad some of my friends respect my great age and my diminishing size i was taller  but walked myself into the ground. Its a good job my back is broad and  i love you all to bits otherwise id be getting inferiority complex. Xxx

 The joys of financial year end!  I submitted my year end accruals yesterday so hoping all is accepted and ok, guess I will find out when I'm back to work tomorrow

Norma if we didn't love you we would be polite and demure.
What's with all this accountancy stuff sounds way too serious you both need a drink.

Spent my day  at the behest of my boss who is a trustee, so official work, but entirely unrelated to my job, editing application letters for funding the local festival and my goodness did they need editing.It won't have escaped the notice of anyone here that I can waffle on a bit ( well a lot really) but one of the letters was so jumbled, flowery and overstated I have reduced it by half and its still long enough to compete with war and peace.Mind you rather that than doing figures I don't do numbers I have number dyslexia.
I am getting new neighbours  i met them this morning It is going to be a second home, but she spent the morning putting notes on peoples cars parked outside and has commissioned my artist friend to write no parking notices for the windows.They don't actually have parking rights though.(how to win friends)

Meanwhile he seemed much more friendly as he informed me the lack of gutter on my coal shed is creating damp in theirs.(my coal shed is over 200 Years old and has never had guttering)and could I move the wheely bins from in front of it as they look untidy. I wonder where he would like me to move them too,I could come up with some suggestions about places the sun don't shine (but being polite and demure refrained from doing so).
Goodnight all.
(Exits whistling there may be trouble ahead under breath.)

Had my last walk of the month up my local hill today, I try 3 -4 times per month walk up it. I know nearly every little dirt track going, prefer going that way than the main walking route. Trying to avoid people or dogs and missing out on the wild life, so far I have seen a Tree creeper, wild deer, Buzzards flying low over head and listening to the birds singing.
Also getting fit in the process too, my poor dog has never done so much walking in the countryside

Karena re your new neighbours, oh dear..........
Its brought up the fact that I'll be getting new neighbours soon too. I live  in the bottom flat of a four  storey Victorian house. Immediately above me was a tenant, who's just moved out and yesterday an estate agent come round with two prospective buyers for it.  The house has a lovely large back garden belonging to said  first floor but which I've always looked after for the past 15 years. I have no rights to it though.The previous owner who is/was the freeholder was happy with this arrangement. Found I couldn't sleep last night thinking about what will happen. Hoping for a total disinterest on the part of any new buyer so that I can carry on as before but then read  your tale! As I said oh dear............

Hi all, how is everyone?

Compared to 4 day bank hol weekends normal 2 day ones are way too short! :-o. Anyone else counting down til Friday?!  Xx

[Norma]

Im certainly counting down to bristol, but i have retired from my volunteer cook for the lunch club, hard to admit but was getting to much for me. So from this wednesday im a paying customer yeah how goid is that lol xxx

[Karena]

good Norma (except for the paying bit)
I agree Emz bring back the 3 day week -with full pay this time though. And while we are at it lets Ban group meetings especially on a monday,I worry about my own psychology after one of those -because while i am apparently taking copious amounts of notes and drawing story boards in reality i,m just doodling and yesterday i doodled lots of 3D boxes with little stick men inside pushing the walls with their little stick hands, trying to get out. And that was in between watching one of the programmers trying to not fall asleep -such an amusing morning.
So today I,m suposed to be magiking up a new Ad, not sure exactly what its suposed to say, and i have no ideas whatsoever (except stick men in boxes) Perhaps i should "think outside the box" and have the strapline "think inside the box"and a product shot of a manual,inside the box, except we dont have them any more because its all electronic now.
This luddite is lacking inspiration  perhaps i need a few days off.
