With my anticipation -of even being able to book a seat - for the new Harry Potter, my email has been inundated with Google alerts, the majority of them being excellent reviews. Interestingly, too, most of them have nothing but praise for AR's performance, even to the detriment of his illustrious thespian companions. There are only a couple so far ( Read more... )

 Just time before I go off to work. Looked back at my last rant before I disappeared for a while. Oh Dear - I was cross. It's not getting better either but I will save that for another time ( Read more... )

 Well here we are again. Don't know why I've not posted here for so long but I thought I would get back on the old bandwagon - especially as I'm still paying for the thing! And I do enjoy making those tiny little pictures up top....... Hi to everyone I haven't spoken to for ages and apologies for not keeping in touch.  I mooch about on Facebook now ( Read more... )

Okay, so I'm just reading about the latest NHS scandal regarding "superbugs". As usual, the scapegoats in the sh** were the nurses. I am so sick of everyone getting on the bandwagon and pointing the finger of blame at us! The bottom line is - we do our best! We wash our hands properly, we use the alcohol rub, we wear aprons, we keep updated, we ( Read more... )

I don't know where the time goes. I don't have enough of it to do what I want and just have a little  bit to "mooch" - as I have been doing today. I need to get back to the gym and back on the diet! I've just had some leave - mainly to get my son sorted out for UNI (where I've left him this weekend) but I also spent a couple of days up in London ( Read more... )

After several weeks of nail biting, the results were out today! Jamie got an A in Maths and Physics and a B in Chemistry which guarantees him his place at Southampton Uni so sighs of relief all round. Well on the way now to his goal which I'm sure he will reach. Have to say that his girlfriend played a big part in him getting that vital B in ( Read more... )

Back home after a great 5 days in Edinburgh. Saw the Tattoo - including fireworks this time - and some great Fringe gigs, a couple of which had a tentative Rickman connection. A Cambridge Uni group did Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. It was brilliant and gave me an idea of what to expect from the movie. Then we saw Faith Brown and ( Read more... )

It's raining again, after a couple of fairly nice days when I have done NOTHING! And now I have to go back to work tonight after nearly 3 weeks off. (That's always a depressing thought). Still, I will take my current "read" and forget how much I hate work at the moment. Hunting for a new job in nursing is so much harder now. there was once a time ( Read more... )

...since I last posted. Have had to pay out money again, and select a new temporary layout until I can awaken the old gray cells and remember how to do a new one. Things have changed on the old LJ!  But here I am again. Hi to everyone! Hope the weeks have been kind in more ways than one. I'm suffering from PDHT (Post Deathly Hallows Trauma) but ( Read more... )

Go off line for a while and when I come back, I haven't a clue how to do things anymore!
Where have I been? Around. Real life has butted in, but I'm back now and I hope to keep up with this thing again. Sorry to all my flist (if they are still around!) and I will get round to seeing you all!
Been for a walk today. I left my phone in the pocket of my ( Read more... )
