sorry......

Sorry Shane.

I must have worried my eldest son with my last entry as he rang this morning to check on me.  Thank you Shane, just feeling sad when I wrote that but the sun is shining today and I have the day off so it will be a better day.  Then he rang no 3 son, Darren, who also phoned me up – boys, I love you lots and miss you immensely so thanks for taking the time to pick the phone up, it means the world to me.  And by lunchtime, another enormous bunch of flowers was being delivered from my sons.  Please don’t think you have to do that every time I sound miserable but I am very grateful, so thank you very much.  Bugger, just about off again!  Shane also told me that he will be playing live on the radio tomorrow (Thursday) – Radio Scotland I think, sometime in the morning.  Hopefully I will be able to catch it on playback or whatever the hell it is called.  The band is Mind Gone Blind, so listen out for them.

The phone rang three times as I hung out the washing this morning and it is a brisk hike up the outside stairs to answer it.  But damn me, I kept hoping it would be about the job and of course it wasn’t…just as well really as I sounded like either a pervert or a 50 a day smoker by the time I got to the phone.

I did have a quiet satisfaction the other day at Jac & Adie’s house.  Adie asked me to peel the potatoes for shepherds pie, then he made the mistake of asking me to peel the carrots as well.  It was more than I could resist.  I quickly sculpted a carrot steve and took great delight in stabbing it repeatedly with the vegetable knife.  Then we ate it.  After it had been chopped into tiny weeny pieces. 

You can probably tell this entry has been written over the course of today in bits and pieces

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!

Crying yet again but this time with happiness and relief.  Contract to be sent out and that’s that really.  Oh God, it all starts now!!!

And the kittens are doing well!

There's great news - not much of a shock though, knew you were gonna get it! Lovely to hear about the 'wee' kittens as well. Can't wait to see more of you here, and to hear more Malcolm jokes!

Well done on the job great achievement.

Something that is often said but rarely taken for real.

"Tomorrow is the start of the rest of your life"

So my advice is put your best foot forward, enjoy the job and see it as a fresh start, a new Karen, a new beginning.

Good luck and make your own future :~)

warm regards

David

YAY!
