As a friend said to me this morning 'Yesterday was the most Monday Monday I can remember in a loooong time' and I have to say I wholeheartedly agree!


Roll on the weekend..

f&@*ing w@nkers the lot of them - my week's panning out like that too - just had my card refused in tesco because some f*cker (BT) took some kind of unauthorised payment on my card. Apologies and it will be refunded except it will take a few days and I was buying my tea! and now I have no food. and I had cash, only I'd forgotten to take it out with me. and I could go back but the rage and indignity have left me needing to avoid that area for a while


I hate everyone and everything.


grrrr

Yesterday was, indeed, the mutha of all mondays. 10 hours of swimming through metaphorical treacle, then 2-3hrs at home of preparing for today. Today a pain, have at least another hour or 2 of preparing for tomorrow still to do. Tomorrow looks like being embarassingly under-prepared. Thursday am expected to be in 2 places at once. Friday is what the boss refers to as "the heavier day of the week".


Arse.

I've been home sick with the cold / cough thing I had the whole time over Christmas, seems to have come back with a vengance. Been feeling knackered, like someone has taken my batteries out, but when I try to sleep lying down just sets off a coughing fit, having to sleep on a pile of pillows 3 high and even that barely works.


Being ill makes me grumpy at the best of times, but I'm meant to be off on holiday skiing this weekend and I am quite cross I've wasted my money when at this rate I'll be too tired to enjoy it.


Still, it could be worse, I am not mega busy at work this week so I don't have to stress about it piling up in my absence.

My week has been deplorable :( started on Sunday and has infected Monday (never a good day anyway), and now carried on into Tuesday.


The problem with bad weeks is that it makes me homesick quite easily....Oh....Blast, Wednesday is only tomorrow away and I am already detecting a negative pattern emerging that threatens to infect the rest of the working week: It's like a weed!


.....roll on Saturday!

If I thought that would cure my cold I'd be doing it straight away, but I've a feeling it wouldn't! Despite being bored as hell at home, I actually think I am doing something positive in not dragging myself into work and making myself sick for longer, which is what I usually do - playing the martyr.

Go to Peckham Rye and get a "12" to The Old Nun's Head in Nunhead Green to see if the Lady Superior of the nunnery,who was killed during the Reformation and had her head chopped off and stuck on a pike-staff outside,is still there.


Then I'll return to my beloved East Lane Market(which I used to live over).


Go down THe WAlworth Road,go to The Elephant and get a Bus to Brixton to visit Brixton Market and then get a Tube to Central London and then maybe onto Hampstead Heath.


n.b.Please note that this itinerary is Subject to change or alteration without notice.


Coming along for the ride Darling?:)-D

Today's notice reads:

"due to essential software maintenance, our offices will be closed from 10am - 12 noon. From 12 noon for the rest of the day our offices shall be closed for staff training"

Translation:

"from 10am 'til 12 noon we're making our staff come in and sit at blank screens whilst our scummy IT man messes around wiv a few nobs. from 12 noon and for the rest of the day we is off to our Christmas lunch and shant be bothered coming back. We are also making it compulsory for ALL staff to come along and mingle wiv the rest of us snobs whether they like it or not. It is a perfect opportunity to teach them "commoners" (the staff) a lesson or two"

*sighs*


A very productive day planned :-|


*edited coz I quite clearly dont know my alphabet!*

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
