Weekend off!

And I'm by myself. After a bad start to Friday I've cheered up a bit. Managed to get a bit of Christmas shopping done in Bolton which was nice (I don't enter Manchester on a Saturday, it's farrrr too busy!) Missing my Mum & Dad loads and they've only been gone for 12 hours.


 I bought my sisters Christmas present, some new leggings for work and even ordered myself a lovely wine coloured blouse to wear on Christmas day as my Mum left a 25% off Dorothy Perkins voucher. Wahoo! 


Just chilling out now with a glass of wine watching Merlin on telly. I do love a bit of Merlin. We started watching it three years ago when it first came on telly when I was at University. A group of us would make some nice bolognaise for tea and all watch it together. 


Anyway more about my weekend tomorrow when I'll be spending the day with Amanda. 


Peace and Love xo

TGIF

One day late d'oh! Had work all day yesterday then didn't come home until 9pm and was too tired to post when I got in. This week I am grateful for friends. We went to see the Christmas lights switch on in Manchester. There were 20,000 people there! How crazy! But after watching Joe McElderry, The Drifters, Corrie stars, Peter Beale from Eastenders and the ZingZillas all perform, we all huddled together and watched the fireworks display which was fantastic. Plus they played Florence & The Machine really loud as they were going off so everyone was singing along. Great way to spend a friday night with friends, and best of all it was free! Perfecto!

Finally got a day off!

How exciting! Shame I'm spending most of it cleaning and tidying ready for Friday when Liam gets here. Then I'm popping to town later because I need to buy some new work clothes for winter. GROAN. Normally this would excite me but I can only buy black things (uber depressing.)


Lets brighten the mood with a poem shall we?

Eeylop’s Owl Emporium

(Title taken from J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone.’)

If you push the worn wooden door into Eeylop’s Owl Emporium

sawdust and feathers will greet you.

The musty warmth will soon clear as vast wings will stretch like dustsheets being unfolded.

Black and inquisitive eyes peer into yours

and they’ll follow you as you inch quietly around

trying to avoid those judgemental gazes.

The background twittering feels like school.

But when you turn to face them, silence.

Heads cocked to one side, it’s like they’re reading your mind

amongst that awkward ambience.

Eeylop hobbles around breaking the tension, muttering gruffly to each in turn.

He pokes his fingers which are twisted and knowledgeable

through the mesh cage to caress the feathers

of the Tawny who looks wise and stern.

The owl will close his eyes and tilt his head, apparently calm.

Eeylop whispers a soothing, songlike sound.

Tawny hoots softly and his large, almond eyes will reopen

and search for a treat in Eeylops palm.

It's a new week

So far it's been a very tiring week, and it's only Monday! :( I'm working loads and loads this week but it will be alright on Friday evening because Liams coming to visit for a long weekend and keep me company. Hurrah! We don't have any money to be doing anything nice but we're going to see the fireworks and christmas lights switch on Friday night with some friends, (possibly with a gingerbread latte thrown in)  followed by a day of watching High School Musical 1, 2 & 3 on Saturday! Who says having no money has to be boring? We may even get fish and chips seeing as how I've discovered the ONLY chippie in Manchester recently but am yet to try it.

Will post some more news in a few hours after tea.
What are you doing this week?

Love & peace to all!

TGIF!

This week followers, I am grateful for the gift of psychic ability. I got a message lastnight while at a spiritual clairvoyance evening which was a bit emotional but hopefully is a sign of good things to come. But who knows?

Also had a few freaky-deaky experiences while back at my Hereford home - one of the bedroom doors kept rattling while I was trying to get to sleep, lights being turned on when we returned to an empty house, seeing dark shadowy figures standing in my bedroom. We are most definitely not alone which is quite comforting to me seeing as how I always get really lonely the day I'm dropped off back in Manchester or whenever my visitors go home.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Today is my Dad's birthday (no, really.) So I'm wishing him a day of happiness and joy!

I am home!

Well, Hereford home, not Manchester home. And today is my Mum's birthday so we're off to do lots of celebrating. Happy Birthday Mummy!
