Monday Blues

Another Monday. I really thought that this one would go slow, but looking at the clock now and I only have 34mins left. So I thought sod the work for the rest of the day lets see if I can’t amuse myself some other way. I really must go to the gym this evening, not that it is a resolution as such but because I am sure that as we speak I can feel the dimples of cellulite encroaching upon my upper thighs. I am also almost certain that no woman is free from these. Unless of course you are actually fit or you are so skinny you might as well be a skeleton.

This is another thing I don’t understand. Anorexia, not meaning to sound harsh but how on Earth can anybody give up food……I know I certainly can’t, it is one of the few luxuries that I have (yes I am sad). But there are too many different tastes out there to banish them. What annoys me even more than anorexia is ignorant people who say stupid things like ‘I don’t ‘do’ Sea food’ as if all sea food tastes the same so they obviously don’t like it, they could at least try. Or the only fish they venture having is Cod, which is not that interesting a taste.

Or maybe I am just lucky that I am adventurous with my food, if there is something on the menu that I haven’t tried before I have an urge that I have to try it. Most of the time I like it, I can’t remember a time when I have ordered something from a menu and not liked it. Maybe I am just easy to please as well.

Don’t get me wrong there are definitely things that I don’t like. For example cauliflower and broccoli I think are disgusting. I also have an aversion to peas. This is due to my first year in university. I was placed in a guest house for my accommodation which was quite good; I got bed, breakfast and evening meal. Except all the evening meals came with peas. So I spent practically a year eating nothing but peas and now I hate them, not that I was a massive fan to start with either.

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend.  Who would have thought it?  We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house.  Goodness knows.  Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other.  I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons.  I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all.  Also she doesn’t judge.  I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirky ways and know I can have not only an

The Afternoon Teas Have Returned....Cheltenham

Hurrah, at long last the delightful afternoon teas have returned and it was kick started with a meet up with the Biffa's (self given name for my little group of lovely ladies).  We decided to meet up in Cheltenham as it's roughly half way between Bridgend and Stafford along with being a nice place. We decided to rendezvous at the Cheltenham park and ride.  I have to say one of my main priorities when visiting any where is that they have a decent easy to get to park and ride.  I mean, why battle with the inner town systems of somewhere you haven't a clue when you can just park up and jump on a bus which does the stressful bit for you. On arrival into the town we got our bearings by heading to the nearest decent looking pub and as we were driving the strongest thing we opted for was caffeine.  Still it gave us chance to have a natter, exchange some gifts and decide where we wanted to go and if anyone had anything in particular they wanted to get.                        

Weston Hall Afternoon Tea

Well if you haven’t guessed I do enjoy an afternoon tea even though I don’t have a sweet tooth.   For my last birthday my lovely friend Fordy got me two vouchers for afternoon tea at Weston Hall , Stafford.   Having a browse on line beforehand this looked like a marvellous setting. We arrived at this lovely building which was very picturesque the only down side was that it was quite close to a main road and this spoiled the view a bit but the noise levels weren’t too bad.   We headed into the Cellar restaurant where our afternoon tea was booked and showed into the lounge area where we would be having it.   Mr Bus and I chose some lovely sofas to sit on next to the fire, although it was the end of May we went the weather was still cold and wet so this was welcome. For our afternoon tea we could choose from a range of teas or coffee and we opted for Assam, being one of our favourites.   We were expecting to wait a little while and started to have a nose at what else they had on o
