It's A Beautiful Day. Hey Hey, It's A Beautiful Day....

So, new job.

All going swimmingly. Lovely office. Lovely people. I'm so glad I made the decision.

I'm driving down, I was going to get the train but I decided to drive, just to make sure I knew where I was going to be and how long it took, but driving slowly, it only takes me 20 minutes... I then have a lovely walk along the shore front which takes me 5 minutes and I'm at the office.

Is all good.

I'm so pleased.

I guess, Now it's Time....

OMG, I am 15 Again! Well in honesty, I wasn't even 15 when they were out the first time! I was 28, and doing my Teaching Training, and was banning kids from even discussing Take That in the Class Room. During one of my teaching practices, Take That were "co-presenting" the Big Breakfast, with Chris Evans. Every class had a late entrance - the gaggle of girls waiting behind for every last image of the Takethats before they headed to school, and then there was muffled mutterings for the rest of first period, "gary,mmmmm, robbie....., Howard.... Mark... Jason..!. Hmm.

I thought Young lads having fun, enjoying their success! And here we are, nearly 20 years on, and they are back, and boy were they good.

Tooli and me went on Friday night, and it was BRILLIANT! Totally Fantastic. All the old songs and the new ones too. Not a note adrift. It was AMAZING!


Back for Good, Complete with Rain Storm


Howard Really Does Love Gary!

My Gorgeous Tooli Before the show! We tried to stay
in this spot, and we almost did - barring mad drunk glaswegians!

I hear Your Footsteps in the Street, It won't be long before We meet

Troon has been beautiful today. The sun was shining, it was so warm, i didn't have a headache, it was all good.

We've done some shopping, we've lazed around, and all fell asleep in the sun at one time or another. Now we've ate too much, and we are sitting around, clouds have come over, and it isn't quite as bright, but we had such a lovely weekend.


Yesterday was exhausting. We left Troon at 8 am to get up to Edinburgh, dropped Tool at Pleasance, and wandered from St Mary's Street, right up The Royal Mile, Down the Castle Terrace, along Grindlay Street, wandered the Farmers market, enjoyed the smells and sounds, down Lothian road, along Princes Street, which was a BIG mess with all the tram works. Heard the 15 Gun Salute for the Queen's Birthday - with EVERY blast making me jump. Back across the Bridges, back to the Car on St Mary's Street, then along the Cowgate to the Grassmarket, had lunch, just missing the rain, and then headed back along The Royal Mile again, to the car and off to Meadowpark Stadium to watch the volleyball. GB Ladies were playing Romania and the GB Men were playing Croatia. OMG The speed of play, was amazing, the jumps the strength of play. Tooli was Court Sweeping -great excitement there, because the game was being televised, so we are hopeful that Tool's butt will be seen, sweeping across the courts at every time out! Woop

Boy was Stewarding which consisted of him wearing a red t-shirt and sitting with one of his team mates! Lovely. Easy Job!

We eventually made it home for just after 10! Wow How exausted were we!

I once was lost but now am found.....

I'm leaving this job in 2 weeks, and I really wish it was sooner. I gave 6 weeks notice, so that I could clear up tidily, but I think regardless of how hard you work, you aren't going to be able to pull everything together the way you want to.

Once I had made the decision it was made, I didn't make it lightly, I considered it long and hard, and one it was made, I wasn't going back. I'll be sad to leave, this is the first job for ever, that I have not gone to bed on a Sunday night, wishing it was Friday night again.

I looked forward to coming in, and holidays were not to be feared as a period when something would go wrong and people would be in touch with you, and you dreaded coming back in to the horror that was your desk left alone for 2 weeks. It's been fun, but the time has come to move on.

As always, I'll probably walk away and not look back. Am very very bad for that, but maybe I'll come back and buy a boat!
