Another week nearly over.....Autumn is here

Why does it seem that holiday weeks go so much quicker than regular weeks when you have to work?  Is it because you are enjoying yourself and are relaxed, nobody around you causing additional stress, no one asking you to reach impossible targets, no one nagging you asking you why you haven't got things done?  Or perhaps that is just my place of work at the moment.  Never mind, going to enjoy the last few days.  At least I feel that I have managed to do a number of the jobs on my list

• tidy the garden
• writing assessments
• paint the fence ( or get someone else to help to do it)
• meet friends for coffee
• sort out maths planning
• sort out pictures and hang
• birthday shopping
• garden centre visit

Of course when you go off to the garden centre you just have to come back with a little pressie for yourself don't you.  Meet Mr Owl and his friend, cyclamen.

Yesterday was pretty miserable out there, it rained, it rained heavily, I got slightly wet but went shopping nonetheless as had to get one or two bits for some birthdays that are fast approaching us.  Need to go back again today and do another few bits as some stupid person....yes that's me, bought a present that had already been purchased....... hmmmm never mind.  Will fly up to Crawley first thing this morning and sort that one out and then into Horsham, get Daniel's hair cut finally - we seem to have found a barber with an Xbox, not sure that is a good thing or not....  First of all had better go and get madam her bacon sarnie for brekkie and get her out of bed.

Daniel might just get the rest of the fence painted today if the rain holds off. He made a good start on Weds but really would not have been able to do anything yesterday.  It is looking good now though and will look better when it is all sorted out there.  Need to go and repot some of the bulbs I put in the other day and the squirrels have relocated!  Need to make sure the weather stays dry for about an hour or so just to get some of the jobs completed.

Breakfast has now been served to madam who is still dozing but she will be up and moving shortly as she has been very good getting up in the mornings.  I am sure, however that she will be wanting a bit of a lie in over the weekend.  I think she deserves it.

Anyway taxi duty will need to be underway in a while so better make a move, get showered and dressed for duties to begin.
