November












Well it’s nearly the end of November and there is only five weeks till Christmas. Yes I have been a good girl this year and have completed most of my Christmas shopping, gift wrapped and labelled too!!

I have recently taken up playing squash, what a fantastic game!! I don’t know why I haven’t discovered it before now. It’s hopefully going to help me fit back into my trousers!!

Had the work Christmas function last night, we had a fancy dress (gangsters and mobsters) BBQ at the boss’s house. Was a pretty good night for having nine people in attendance, the wine was going down fairly well however the night wound up pretty early (bout half ten). Fortunately when I arrived home the flatmates BBQ was still going strong and was able to down another couple of vodka’s before the nights end.


This was not such a wise decision when I arose Sunday morning to be out the house by 0800hrs. Off to marshal a 100k cycle race with nine other Rotaractors. However clad with our bright yellow fluro vests it turned out not a bad day and the expected rain held off till now 1827hrs. With our water proof skirts (see photo) and trousers we were prepared for the worst.

Haven’t been home for a few weeks and missing all my TGA friends terribly!! No one to have a quiet drink in town with, or have brunch on Sunday morning topped with a walk around the mount and a Copenhagen cone. The small things you take for granted, now there isn’t even a MT to walk around. (It isn’t all doom and gloom just having a moment).

Going to be working all the Saturday’s till Christmas but I’m sure I can squeeze in lots of fun activities as it is very light till late now with the longest day only a month away so will do my best to make next months blog interesting.
