A bit bleugh!

I went full length on the utility room floor yesterday afternoon, rushing to come inside to answer the phone.  I have a bright bruise on my knee, and several other aching bones and muscles all over my body, including a bit of a headache.  I shall NOT be rushing around today!  I shall probably be moving altogether more sedately indeed.

Just today to get through before the YFG gets a break from school for a week, and I get a day off work on Monday - and I am very ready for it again.  I have other holiday booked during the year, but there are 6 days left available to me to book, and I can't decide how to take them yet!  I've got a week booked already in August, and the l-o-n-g stretch from then until the Christmas break might be just the time to take a few more days off, except that I cannot take them in the October half term as we have to share out the allocation of school holidays, and I have already got my share of those.   So I am probably going to take them in the Autumn - but as a whole week, or perhaps two blocks of three days or even three blocks of two days added to a weekend........too many possibilities!

If anyone is wondering about the OTHER job in the church, it has still not been advertised, so that is no further advanced at this stage.  Apparently, we have to wait for the powers-that-be higher up in the chain to agree the job descriptions and contracts, so these things are taking much more time than had been anticipated.  The local minister is quite upset about it all because he had wanted the lay workers in post in June......I don't see that happening at this rate!

Best be off to potter my way through the day - work, chatting at chapel at the knitting club for half an hour, gymnastics tonight, Sainsbury's delivery coming tonight, and a rummage in the freezer for some supper - have a good day!

Ouch! your trip sounds painful. I had been wondering about your Lay preacher job, hope they get it sorted soon so you know whats happening. Have a good weekend and I would be no help in deciding how to split your time off because that was always a problem with Cols days off

oh dear me that sounds painful. Have a restful weekend. How is the grass doing?

Thanks for popping in, Sue x

@Gill - the grass is growing very well, and I am going to have to cut it if we get a fine day this weekend...I shall be interested to see how long it takes to cut. The turves have settled and put down roots well, I think, and there are just a couple of areas where the grass has turned a little brownish - but all in all, I am well pleased. I might remember to do some before and after photos when I cut it! xxx

I hope you feel okay after your fall. Superstition says that your soul is jarred loose after a big fall, and even though it is superstition, it is a good description of the feeling. Take care!

You poor thing - an accident, a poorly daughter and another in the middle of exams!! Hope things improve soon. My son has finished his Higher exams now, thank goodness. He's still hoping to go to Aberdeen. He did 5, 3 of them in the last week. Enjoy EFG being back home x

@LM - thanks - I still feel a bit wobbly!

@SusanM - fingers crossed for your son to get to Aberdeen as the EFG is loving her course and getting on really well. I am looking forward to her being home tomorrow xxx
