Am I too old or him too young?

Well it’s been a while since I have been bored enough in work to type down the mundane thoughts that have been going through my head. I am not as such bored in work today, as in the fact I have practically done all my work and there is not much left for me to do so I am trying to drag out the last few things over today and tomorrow.

I have as well found myself attached. Yes, even with my cynical ways, I have managed it. This guy at the moment is great but then we are in the honeymoon period as we have only been seeing each other for just over 3 months. I think give it time and we shall see. As previously stated if we are still together after 4 years then I shall be able to comment. For the time being he is brilliant, albeit several years younger than me, there is a lot to be said for the younger man. They have a lot more energy, are more daring and a lot more interesting. Also it means that you can act younger as well and they can introduce you to new things that you might have missed out on. However, there is also down sides that come along with it, for example the feeling of being old. I was looking at my blokes computer and realised that there was no floppy disc drive, I questioned this with him and of course he laughed at me saying that nobody uses them any more, to which I thought actually no they don’t really, only archaics like me I suppose from time to time. In its place were memory card readers and USB ports.

A bad thing though now that I am no longer single I have put on weight, I am now the heaviest I have ever been in my life. There are a number of tyres forming around my middle. Something has to be done, this simply isn’t good enough!!!! I should also loose it now while I can rather than waiting until I put on even more weight and approach middle age only to find out it won’t budge and I have the dreaded middle age spread.

I also have some other exciting news concerning work this time. They are opening a new gallery in December and they have used me as a basis for a sketch or a Roman woman being cremated (dear me, almost typed worm then, that would have been disturbing).

Eeep!!! I must slow down otherwise I will have no work to do tomorrow what so ever!!!!!! I dunno, hehehehehe.

Woop woop the lovely Mark has come to my rescue and provided me with more work so I will not be left destitute tomorrow and look like I am skiving with nothing to do, nothing worse really.

I am just wondering what will happen to this document if I were to die tomorrow, not a nice thought I know but would it ever be found or would it be lost on the system and then deleted without a second glance, not that it bothers me really as it’s just some ramblings. (July 2007)

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 quirk...

VW Bus Birthday Cake

It’s that time of year again the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday.   Now last year I decided to design and make him a digger cake, this year of course I had to equal that effort or go one better.   I had a few ideas in the pipeline and decided to ask the Birthday boy what he would prefer.   We went with a VW Bus cake. Now I started with baking a lemon drizzle loaf cake, whilst this was cooling had the daunting thought this was not going to be high enough, so baked another lemon loaf cake, this time without the drizzle, so that I could square off the top to sit the other one on top of it.   After these had cooled down, it was time to build, placing the loaf cakes one on top of the other with a layer of vanilla butter cream in the middle, I covered the cakes all over in butter cream.   I then set about with the icing.   I thought it best to start with the white top and draped it over the cakes, just leaving enough for a slight overlap at the bottom. ...

A Year On

I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason. My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point. The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my ...
