Round in circles
Hi blogies and blogettes,
Not much of a blog today, my life seems to be going at full pelt at the moment but I feel that it's a bit like I'm going round in a circle cos I'm always busy and always seem to get nothing done!
After last week, had a great weekend the 40th was not at Clacton but at a small village called St.Osyth just outside, it was the first time we had been to our friend's house which was lovely, the garden sloped down to a lake, and outside their bedroom they had a large balcony overlooking the lake and hills, mind you in this country they are lucky if for a few short weeks they have sunshine and not rain to look out on, but it was nice and relaxed and good to see old friends and even the neighbours were sweet offering to put us up rather than let us drive back to London, although we did come back we were knackered by the time we got home in the early hours of Sunday morning!
But in saying that I was obviously meant to come back as on the Sunday I had three old friends call, all of which we have been through some awful times in their lives with them, one was totally devastated when a so called "friend" of ours run off with her then hubby (mind you she looks sooo much better now she has lost the 17 stone of ugly fat she was married to) and the other two both lost children, one was 7 and died of a rare cancer and the other was 8 and who died of Asthma. When I am feeling sorry for myself I think of them and count every one of my blessings that my kids are OK and healthy.
Life is so hectic nowadays, it is always good to catch up with old mates, it's awful that we have to try to find time to do this, months and years roll by so easily and it's often not deliberate but just the pace at which we live our lives and the way all our hours are filled up before we know it. I know each new year I promise myself to keep in touch with everyone, but here we are in July and nearer to the next year and I still struggle to make as many phone calls as I would like. (Although in saying that with the way I talk and ramble on so much - to my husband that is a relief, he thinks the phone lines would go into meltdown!)
Well in talking about rambles I know I am descending into one so I will shut up now -oh nearly forgot I need to curse the hit and run driver that wrote off my neighbours car and hit my hubby's bumper last night, the police did for a change actually catch him, as either he or his passenger was injured, not surprising if you saw the mess he made of the BMW he hit and put 8 feet up on the pavement! I am being quite restrained on my cursing considering in the last 12 months we have had 1 car written off, 1 with £8,000 of damage, 1 with £9,000 of damage and the other with £3,500 of damage, at this rate I will become un-insurable! and none of it has been either my or my hubby's fault. Definately enough moaning now, I'm chilled I'm thinking of Pirates!!
Hope your space wherever it is, is a happy one have a good week and keep blogging!

I know what you mean about the streets we went up and down them and nobody knew where this place was, so we eventually found the pub and lake it overlooked but it was lovely and peaceful there.
If I win the lottery you won't need to jump in the suitcase cos I'll take you there all the way first class and that's a promise and yes I can't wait to get out there, we were not going to go this year but booked at the last minute, we can't afford it, but thought sod it we will go anyway, probably irresponsible but figured we are a long time dead and after the last few months we needed a break before the next lot of **** heads our way.
Have a great weekend - D
and yes counting the days to the Piave I think it is 33!! baci D

That was really sad about the children of your old friends. It is exactly why we need old friends. They don't need a story from the day you were born. They just need to be updated. We can feel comfortable and easy with them.
That driver should have been lynched. I woudl ahve wanted to lynch him. lol.
Did you get your foot out of the ground? The one that was planted so soldily it was making you move in a circle? I spent 2 hours pulling mine out today. lol...
