Blighting the Lives Of Others

Far be it from me to offend anyone, but it was drawn to my attention that yesterday, every other day I have not offered the option of "Utter Crap", on my blogs, and for this I apologise.

If you do stop by and read any of my ramblings, and you feel it is worthy of the Tag of "Utter Crap", please feel free to leave a comment to that effect.    If you don't want to use the energy required, please just pass by without even letting me know you were there.

Fitness

So today I decided I must start to get fit.

I got up, not at 6 like I fantastised, but at 7.40, after everyone else.  I stumbled through the bathroom activities, and decided train and then the mile and a half walk to the office would be good for a start.


4 minutes from house to train.  Good start.  On train, twitter a bit.  Didn't avoid guard, damn, and then station.  Starts walking.  Got about 500 yards, and car goes past and peeps.   P from work.  Shit.  He signals to pull over, but it is about another 500 yards before he can.  I have pathetic shoes on.  Not even suitable for walking distance, let alone run.  I have to speed walk 500 yards, in on-coming wind.

Collapse into P's car, and thank gracefully, as I can with pink face, and gasping lungs.

Have to do better tomorrow!

Rant

Bloody hell.  How do I encourage my daughter to be as committed and active as she wants to be when everything keeps falling over the top of us! 

She gave up hockey, to be able to attend all her volleyball matches.  She can't apply for a LOT of part-time jobs, because she would like to attend at least some of her volleyball matches - and employers don't want to employ someone who isn't going to be at their beck and call.

She got a week at an outward bound course, and it fell inbetween two Duke of Edinburgh Sailing weeks, one of which we had to move those to allow her to fit in her Outward bound course.

We booked a weekend away - her first volleyball match of the pre-season was scheduled for that day.

Her gran won a competition which involves a flight to london and a day over for both of them - she has another volleyball match on the day they leave.

It never ends.

Does anyone have the ability to split the time/ space continuum, give me two days for the price of one, and allow Tooli to do it all?

Have you ever flown a kite?     Oh Yes Indeedy I have.  We used to have "normal" kites.   You know, diamond shaped, pastel colours, with ribbons.  We loved those kites.  Then we moved on to trick kites with 4 guide wires, and now we have a 5m stripy one which has the ability to bounce me along the beach at a rate of knotts!  great fun!  I don't do it often enough!

Do you wish on your fallen lashes?   You know, I used to.  I can't remember the last time I did.  I can't remember the last time I found a lash, but I do remember my daughter and I holding our lashes tight in our palms, and looking to see if they had moved over.   Lovely times. 

Do you consider yourself successful?  Yes indeedy I am.  I have a lovely Husband who adores me, and I love him soo much.  I have two fantastic kids who have never really given me any problems - Boy makes me worry sometimes, but only because he is 3500 miles away from home and doesn't keep in touch as much as he should!  Girl is beautiful, clever, and talented, and is very like her dad.  I couldn't ask for me.  I love my job, and work with great people!

When was the last time that you made an obscene phone call?   When I was about 17 I think.  I was paying back for years of obscene phone calls I used to endure. 

Have you ever asked for a pony?  Yes, and a monkey, and a koala bear.


Plans for tomorrow?   Work Again!
!
Can you juggle?   I am stupendous juggler. Well that is a slight exaggeration.  I can juggle, and juggle with shot glasses.  I used to manage a bar where we advertised as "All Singing, All dancing, all juggling", but as luck would have it I was transferred to a branch where the staff were as miserable as get oot.  And no one would sing or dance or juggle on request, so in order to fulfil the Trades Description, you could frequently find me behind the bar, singing at the top of my voice, while Tap Dancing, or Pole Dancing, and Juggling whilst, pouring drinks. I was multi-tasker supreme!
 

Missing someone now? I miss my Boy.  cause he is far away.  I miss my baby, cause she is at home.  And I miss my Man every time i leave him to come to work.  I miss my Dad, cause he died years, and years, and years ago.  I wonder what my relationship with him would be like now?  We were really close. 



When was the last time you told someone "I love you"?   I told Si, this morning. 


And truly meant it?  I Always mean it. 


How often do you drink alcohol?  Maybe once a month?  Not as often as I did!


How are you feeling today?   Actually, Am feeling great today!


Have you every tried to write a meme?   Yes, and I just cant' think!


Have you ever been fired from a job?   Yes, I was fired for "continued absence" - After struggling into work with a horrible cough, I was told never to come in when I was ill again, after everyone else fell ill.  So I didn't.  Doctor couldn't work out what was wrong with me, and signed me off, tried different things and sent me back, and I'd start being ill again.   They fired me "not because I was bad, your work is great", but "you are continually sick".  Shortly afterwards, I was diagnosed with Asthma, prescribed inhalers, and I'm fine and dandy.  Their loss not mine!


What are you looking forward to?   A weekend away in Lochgilphead! Yay!


Have you ever crawled through a window? Yes. When I was little, we frequently locked ourselves out and climbed in through the window, but I haven't done that for ages!  Maybe I should try.  See if my arse would fit!


What's the most recent bad meal that you had to endure?  Mmmm, I don't do bad meals.  My Si cooks mostly everything in our house, and he is Chef Surpreme!


Can you handle the truth?   Can You? 


Whose to blame for what's going on?  I could tell you, but I'd probably get shot.


What will it take to fix it all up?   A bit of paint and some pretty border. 

Dread

But first...  I had the dentist this morning.  Not even the Dentist.  I had the Hygienist.  I decided yesterday morning that I should cancel.  It would reduce the horrible feeling I had.  But I text my Si to tell him, and he said "No".  So I didn't.

I got down 10 minutes before my appointment, and had to wait ten minutes to be seen.

The Hygienist and her friend in yellow got stuck in about me, trying their hardest to choke me with the pokey thing, and break my teeth from the bottom up.    One thing I will say though - They chatted to each other, not about me, but about buying houses.  That totally distracted me.  I'm going to ask the dentist to talk pap the next time I'm in.

I'm actually tired. Physically tired from the stress of having to go.  I need to get over this.

WWW.CHICKLISH.CO.UK 

I entered a comp today and it asked for "my book blog link".  Wow I thought! I could actually review books.

Here's my first one!

Friday 5

WWW.FRIDAY 5.ORG

What is the longest distance you’ve traveled (in one trip) by foot?
7 miles.  In Edinburgh, one January.  It started snowing. I had never experienced snow like this in my life.  I live on the Clyde Coast, warmed (ha ha) by the gulf stream.  Snow is rare and when it does, short lived. I stayed 2 miles from the college, and contemplated walking but thought better of it.  It was 1/2 mile up a hill, 1/4 down, and then another 1/2 mile up.  Too far in the snow.  I waited for the bus. I waited an hour. It never arrived. I decided to get on the first bus and just juggle buses.  The bus took me to Lothian road -7 miles from my house.  And the bus driver announced the company were taking the buses off the road.  I nearly wept as I walked the 7 miles in a foot of snow and blizzard conditions. 


What is the longest trip you’ve taken by car?
1200 miles.  We drove from our home, in Ayrshire, to Dover.  We drove over night after a full day at work.  My husband and I alternated the driving to try and keep awake.   When we got off the ferry, we drove the same distance again across France.  At one stage, the children asked "are we just driving the whole holiday?".


What is the longest trip you’ve taken by plane?
New York.  That was enough. On the return Both children took ill, 20 minutes into the flight.   I spend the whole trip sitting between them, covered in vomit, switching sick bags to black bin bags.  It got worse, because the air craft held all the passengers until we had been removed from the plane by the AMBULANCE!!! 

What is the longest trip you’ve taken on some kind of water craft?
Dover to Calais.... But maybe actually Ardrossan to the Isle of Man.  Ardrossan to the Isle of Man is a bit scary actually, because it was 6 hours, most of which was spent in the bar, by the time we disembarked we were paralytic!

What is the longest trip you’ve taken aboard a bus or train?
The circuit bus No 52 In Edinburgh.  2½ hours of sheer hell.  It drove around the outskirts of Edinburgh, taking in the worst places in the city.  At times we were actually sore afraid!

Why, what?

How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you are?24, Old enough to be my children's parent but young enough to be full of fun and daftness.

Which is worse, failing or never trying?

Never trying.  Feel the Fear and Do it anyway, that's what the book says.  Please note: I've never read the book, maybe the book actually asks you not to do it, and it's a sarcastic comment.  But I like to think, there is no shame in failing, only shame in not trying at all. If you want something bad enough...
 

If life is so short, why do we do so many things we don’t like and like so many things we don’t do?

I've stopped doing things I don't like.  I only do things I like to do, and things I'm not fussy about, if they are a means to an end.  Good job I actually like my job eh?
 

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done? oh god yes, I talk far too much!

What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

I would stop all these flipping hypocrytical stars telling me to feed the world, and stop starvation, and save the planet, and tell them to get their hand in their pocket and do it first!
 

If happiness was the national currency, what kind of work would make you rich?

Serving in my own bar, where only nice people were allowed, and the kitchen never made any mistakes with the food, and the booze although cheap and plentiful did not cause angry drunks.
 

Are you doing what you believe in, or are you settling for what you are doing?

Am settling for what I am doing, until I have repaid enough debt to do what I believe!
 

If the average human life span was 40 years, how would you live your life differently?

Wouldn't change a thing..... I have the man I love, two great kids, and a good job!   I might try to get to France more often!
 

To what degree have you actually controlled the course your life has taken? Very much.  I do what I want, go where I want, and Love the man I choose!

 

Are you more worried about doing things right, or doing the right things? doing the right things!  I'm a bit slip shoddy, I do lots of things, quite well, but I do the right things, as opposed to the wrong ones! Karma and all that!

Terrible Tuesday

Husband has been gone since Saturday AM.  Wasn't actually here in mind for the week before, he was awfully preoccupied with this trip.   

Am feeling like am missing my leg. or my arm, or half my lung.  I have no one to tease.  No one to talk to.   No one to whisper to in bed.  

:-(

Hurry home.

Mindful Monday....

Is it really, or just a bloggers bland banner for Mundane Mondays, for which there are no Other obvious titles to use for a days diary.

Here's my thoughts for Mindful Monday.

Am bloody tired.   I have had two crap nights sleep, Saturday because I was sunstroked, and Sunday because I was alone.  I was alone on Saturday night too, but I was more concerned with the burning sensation all over my body, than the lack of someone to moan too.

As a result I am sitting here at work, eyes, closing every so many seconds, as I try to stay awake and focused and not falling asleep.

Sunday Stole!

http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/

1. Last movie you saw in a theater?   Shamefully, Harry Potter, The first part of the last one.  I hate cinemas.... Well I hate the people in Cinemas.  I love cinemas, I just hate there being other people than me in them.

2. What book are you reading?  My Bookywook By Russell Brand.  Well I say read. I read the first Chapter yesterday. I also read the first 4 chapters of a ghost story, and I'm 1/8th of the way through another book.  I can't sit still long enough these days to read for very long.  My mind isn't calm enough. 

3. Favorite board game?  Scrabble. Am pretty rubbish at it, but don't give in, never surrender.  My mum bought me a "Scrabble Cheat" book, so that I at least stood a chance sometimes. 

4. Favorite magazine?   It has changed recently to Prima. Although I was reading Primas which were about 2 years old.  They have recipes, tips and clothes patterns inside them.  I love them.
5. Favorite smells?  Issy Mayake L'eau D'issy; DKNY Pure; Viktor and Rolph Flowerbomb; Cut Grass, bonfires. My husband's neck as I snuzzle in at night. 

6. Favorite sounds?  Meesak.  Loud, bumping meesak.  Currently CeeLoo.   And always, Roddy Frame!
7. Worst feeling in the world?      Stinky Migraine.  I suffer quite frequently.  Not nice.
 
8. What is the first thing you think of when you wake up?   What day is it?

9. Favorite fast food place?  I had to think about this, and in reality, I don't think I have one.  There used to be a Spaghetti House in Glasgow or the Italian in Dunfermline who let us carry out (fellow restauranteurs are quite obliging), I loved sitting eating my creamy pastas at home, out of silver tubs, after a long hard day on my feet. 

10. What’s under your bed?  Boy's exercise thingy.  Too big for any other room, after we moved Tooli into his room when he moved to Yank City.

11. Finish this statement. “If I had lot of money I’d….?   Buy my son a flat in Mount Olive, my daughter a flat in Cambridge, and I'd take my honey to a desert Island, Mystique.... Is it still about?  Or the one that Richard Branson owns!  Again - Don't like people. 

12. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal?    I would never refer to my husband as either stuffed, nor an animal.

13. Storms – cool or scary?  Cool. the coolest. I would love to be a storm chaser, if I could be sure I'd find a bridge to hide under when it swept over the top. 

14. Favorite drink?  Now there's a question.  Wild Turkey?  Jack Daniels?  Strawberry Cosmo - but only when drunk in the bar at Lido?  Cup of tea?  cup of Coffee?  Cool glass of milk.  Jack D and Ginger Ale I say!

15. Finish this statement, “If I had the time I would….”?   Go to a health spa and be forced to loose loads of weight and get fit.

 16  If you had to dye your hair another color, what would be your choice?   A Natural brown.  My normal, young hair was reddish brown.  Now, I am scared that if I stopped dying it, it would be grey, all over.

17. Favorite place to relax?  Anywhere that I can place my head on one side and sleep.  I am a sleep monster. 

18. Name all the different cities/towns you’ve lived in?   Troon, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverkeithing, Glasgow, Symington, Troon.

19. Favorite sports to watch?   Volleyball. I have two Volleyball daft kids.  Volleyball is their "thing". It would be criminal not to love to watch them!

20. Would you like to be born as yourself again?  Yes, indeedy.  Even with the bad things, my life has been grand, and I'd get to do it all over again which wouldn't be a bad thing!

Every day, When I'm Away...

I cycled this morning.  It is definitely getting easier.

Lots of Rabbits, and wee birds that I don't know who they are, but they are full of songs and very chipper this time in the morning.

And recovery time was a lot less!

Yay!

The Further Tales of the Friendly

After my last posting, there were new developments.

I glanced out of the living room window about 7 in the evening. And there sat Beau. My photo

As I screamed "drop it", she did, and proceeded to be entertained by bashing the mousey, quite gently though I may add, so that it bounced away from her, and then weirdly enough crawled back to her.  Kidnapper Syndrome?

My husband and I got quite agitated trying to get her to drop it and move far enough away for us to rescue the mousey again, but were unsuccessfull, especially when her sister came out, and that was the queue to pick it up and run really fast away.

This morning, I stepped out on to the path, to be met by a Mouses Arse on one paving slab, it's head on another, and what I could only imagine to be it's bowel draped artistically between the two.

I was feeling crap enough when I left.   Yeuk

I done a good thing

I stepped out the back door to hang the washing, and Beau came round the corner with a tail hanging out of her mouth .

"Drop" I said, and weirdly enough, she obeyed.  This is one cat with an identity crisis if ever I met one.

In front of me, on the grass, paws raised in surrender on the ground, lay a little mousey.  "I'm sorry little thingy", I said to it, looking at it's slightly open mouth and it's little teeth showing.  And then, caught the slightest movement from one of the paws.

I picked Beau up and dropped her  in the kitchen, and closed the door.

I went back to the wee mousey, and watched as, it's breathing became evident, and then it flipped itself over on to it's belly again.   It was breathing hard, and shaking obviously terrified, and wasn't going to move anywhere soon.

I glanced round to the house and saw that Beau had ran upstairs and was pressed against the bedroom window watching.

I found a little pot, and took it over to mousey, and pushed him inside.   His wee body didn't move at all but the wee worm like tail raised up in a salute.

I carried him over to an overgrown area of the garden - heading into next doors, and set the pot down.  He still didn't move, so I tipped it slightly, and the wee mousey dropped onto the soil.  He seemed then to get the hint, and moved under a leaf.

I watched for a moment, to ensure that he really had got the idea he was free, and laughed as he scrambled into the deeper undergrowth.

I gave him 10 minutes escape time, because I let Beau Out.

Beau is currently sitting staring at the place she last seen him.  I think he'll be okay.

It's Friday, Friday....

Cycled, Monday and Tuesday, and today.

For some unbeknownst reason I decided to change my route to another one.  That was a mistake. 

Up hill, from 60ft above sea level to 100 ft above sea level, down and up and down and up.

But I did get a last "down" which sent me flying at about 40 miles an hour. I was bumping so much I was laughing my head off. The cows were looking at me very weirdly.

It added an extra mile to my trip, covered me in mud, and I fell over twice.

But it was quite a nice way to start the morning.

Doctor, Doctor, Can't You See I'm Falling, Falling

Took my baby to the doctors today.

Doctor tried strong arm tactics.

Was not a success.

Smoothies, and Pancakes with Maple syrup were more effective.

I can't Stand Up for Falling down.

Now, am feeling bad.

Was sidestepped by one of the little travellers.  she was bedecked in Paul's Boutique jacket, retailing £61.00, Nike IDs, and a designer skirt, from where I'm just not sure.

"Please let mey yuse your toilet", she says.

"No", I say.

"Why not" She says.

"because we aren't running a public convenience" Says me.

"I won't tell anyone" says she.

"no" says I.

"What is it that you do in there", Says she.

"Electronics", Says I.

"What kind" says she.

"I don't understand them, so I doubt you will". Says I

"So what do you do, if not the electronics", Says she.

"Accounts". Says me.

"All day", says she.

"Yes" Says me.

And she looked at me horrified.

Damn you travelling person.  Stop making me feel bad about myself, and my lack of designer clothing and the freedom to go where I want, when I want and leave a massive trail of devastation behind me.

Everything Changes, but everything stays the same

Humph.

Call me racist if you wish, but I'm a bit peeved right now.

A "caravan" of Gypsies have moved in to the area which was formerly our Warehouse Loading bay.

By Caravan, I don't mean one caravan, I mean 12 caravans, 4 BMW's, 4  4x4s, various white vans, and 2 commercial vehicles.

Our landlords advised us to lock the gates to prevent any more of them arriving, which we did and handed the keys over to the security guard who arrived on site.  he is under instruction to let them out, but not to let them back in again.

Last night when I left, there were 5 of their cars outside the premises, when I arrived this morning - all the cars were inside.  He's not quite got this "security" lark off patt has he?

yesterday morning, we had little girl arrive in her PJ's.  "Please Soir, could ah have sum wate, ah'm beggin ye, ah'm really thursty".   Ah yes, that would be why you need the water in a kettle.  "Piss off".

Today, Mother arrived in her BMW, (which wasn't in the premises yesterday), dressed in her best toweling dressing gown, and chucked the kids out of the car, to scream at us through the window "open da gate, wur gonna be late fur school". 

Yes, well, since it was already 910, you were late for school, and no amount of us not opening the gate would prevent that.

We've heard that 10 kids have been enrolled at the local primary school.  Doesn't sound like they are planning to go anyway, anytime soon!

These amuse me, but I wish they would work out better sometimes!  The only one I like here is "Funeral Song".   - Chasing cars!

How many rolls of wrapping paper do you have in your house?

About 15.  we over-buy every year, at christmas, and put them in the attic, and forget about them. I have to think of some craft which uses wrapping paper, or maybe I will start covering all the books on my book shelf with wrapping paper. That could be quite cool.

Don'cha think?

Oh My Heavens

Today I cycled for the third day in a row.  I keep hoping it is going to  get better, but I don't think it is. It took me longer to recover today than it did yesterday?  Maybe I was going faster?  hmmm.

Difficult to say, because I stopped just over half way to take some photos, but I think maybe I did 4 miles in 25 minutes, Thats' 4 miles back too. 8 miles a day

That's gotta make a difference yes?

Since my stress break out of a couple of weeks ago, I have held it together very nicely. 

With a little assistance from the voices in my head, I have kept it sane.  However, today, my poor head is so distracted, I can't focus on one thing for more than a minute at a time.   I'm jumping from one thought to another, and I can only imagine the migraine that is coming which is causing my brain so much electronic interference.

Am, Coming, Up

Okay - so the "Body Improvement" started last week.

I have lost 4 inches, from various parts around my body, which is nice.

My bottom has regulated itself. 

I have lost 3lb.

However, today I have period pains.

Which is odd, as I don't have a womb.

The problem with prizes

Is that you have got to use them.

Two weeks ago I won a "6-Week Optimise Your Body" programme.

Oh God.

So last night, I took the photographs, made the measurements, and weighed in.

Today, I started with Linseed and Soya bread, and boiled eggs.

It's not even lunchtime, and I have had another "meal".

Tonight, I will run for 30 minutes.

I may die before the week is out.

I'm not fussed on planes. If I could grow wings, now that would be something.    Michael wings, from "michael", aw. lovely lovely.

Don't Sail out, Bow Out...

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

I fell in love.

I abandoned my blog.

I will return.

Shortly.

You're A Work of Art, You're the Trevi Fountain

am I passionate?:  www.monsterpriceforgold.com   If you think so please vote!

I met my husband across a crowded dance floor and fell in love! 

When we both collided, the result of our passion, created a new passion in me.   Motherhood. 

I adore being a mother.  My children, despite being 16 and 19 will always be my concern.  I glow with happiness when they have something joyful to celebrate, I fight to the death to defend them.  I will not let them be bad people and I will have something to say if I find that they have behaved other than I would prefer them to.

For three years, it was just me and Boy.  And what a friendship we have built.  He is now at University in USA.  Getting him there caused both me and his dad more grey hairs than I would have thought possible.   But he is there now, bringing joy to a whole new group of people and finding his way, more spectacularly than I thought possible.  I take the greatest pride, in knowing that it was the love and care which was showered on him as a child, which enabled him to go over to a new country and fit in with absolutely no problems.    How proud was I when on his first sporting appearance, he made the headlines on the School Athletic Page - complete with picture. 

When Tooli came along - our perspective on things changed.  Here was a little madam with her own sets of rights and wrongs.  Her principals are of the highest standards, and we as a family band together to ensure that we make the standards that she sets for herself and us.   Honestly is the only policy where Tooli is concerned, and Hard Word and Elbow grease are the only way to get things done.    I am astounded when I look in her room, at her study charts, mind maps, books she has borrowed from school to increase her knowledge.   She isn't sure what she wants to do, but it has to involve learning.  She is so clever, and bright and blossoming into such a gorgeous young woman, I glance at her every so often just so that I check to myself she is mine.  Where she got her self-assurance from, I will never know, but she is should a joy to call mine.

My love, my life, my passions.
