Hello World!!!!!!!!
I think (think being the operative term here) that the worst may be over and life will start to return slightly to normal now. This summer has been unreal for work. This is the first weekend I've had off in what seems like forever! We are still missing staff members and I'm still getting home about 7pm after trying to catch up on stuff for which there just isn't enough time in the day to do but wedding season is slowing down now and will only peak again briefly at Christmas before settling down again until Easter when we get to do it all again...........yay!!!!!!!
So, let me bring you up to speed with what's been happening. Bruce finishes his Disneyland Paris contract on Sept 21st. He was offered a full time job but said no as he wants to finish his degree. That said, he's planning on returning at Christmas to work for a couple of weeks. Can't say I'm hugely thrilled at the prospect. He's suggested that we go over and spend Christmas there so I started investigating. From what I've seen, it's going to cost at least £2000 ($3200 approx.) for 4 nights!!!!!!!!!!!! This includes transport but not the kennelling of the hounds because obviously we can't take them with us. So............not going to happen.
Our local amateur dramatic group is putting on The Wizard of Oz at Christmas and I'm stage managing it so that should be fun. Rehearsals have started and I'm trying to persuade them to let Dorothy wear plaid instead of a plain old boring blue pinafore dress!!!!! It can be blue plaid if they're fussy!!!!
Other than that, I'm getting over a bad cold (not as bad, obviously, as Sandy's Man Flu which he had at the same time!) and am barking worse than the dogs. Talking of whom, are both fine. Jacob took a chunk out of one of his front pads so was looking resplendent in an old sock held on with electrical tape until it healed. Didn't help his street cred. one bit!!!!
And I think that's it. I should be around now if anybody wants me!!!
:razz:
