The World of Siân

I have a few poems I have written tucked away and I thought it would be about time to air them. Here is the first:- Bridgend My Home town Protected by a dome It doesn’t make me frown I don’t see any garden gnomes It is like a magnet Draws people back It doesn’t make me fret A bit off the beaten track No sun, no snow Only rain Why, who knows? It’s a pain From the old bridge it gets it name Good wishes it does send Some people from here have found fame My home town, good old Bridgend

Now there is one thing (of many as I am sure you have read) that I can’t stand, and that’s Chav’s!!!! I was thinking this morning, if you’re a chav, do you know that you’re a chav? Do you purposely pick out chavvy clothes? Do you think other people are chav’s? They seem to be everywhere, I was astounded when going into my local town during the week and seeing them cluttering up the streets. I did comment to himself and he said it’s as most of them are on the dole and so have nothing better to do. Which is true? Why should they restrict themselves to causing chaos on the pavements on a Saturday?!?!? When they can do it all week as well. Here is a link to wiki, to see what they say on Chav's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav

Once again my beloved car is playing up, booo. I am starting to think it doesn’t like this time of year. Anyway, the garage can’t really find much wrong with it, so as I need a reliable car to get back and fore work I have decided to mosey along to a garage after work to see what they can offer me on a part exchange. I don’t really want a new car as I do love mine, but needs must!!!! As I am looking for a reliable car it would be interesting to know if anyone has any opinions on cars I really should avoid. Anyway enough of the car topic as it only depresses me…… We are nearly at the end of October and I am pleased to say I have a lot of my Christmas shopping done, woop woop check me out!!!! I am particularly looking forward to Christmas this year as my sister is expecting twins and they should arrive a few weeks before. Christmas is after all as they say for the children. It also gives me a good excuse to play with children’s toys. She has been told she is having one boy and one girl,...

Lately I have been feeling rather restless and wishing for some event in my life that I can focus on. I need some new goals to focus towards. I have always been very goal orientated really, but didn’t ever really plan for them to run out, so I have always had direction. Now I have achieved most of the critical ones I am feeling a bit lack lustre. A couple of years ago I did start the 50 things list which can be found here…. http://www.my50.com/yourlistro.php?list=66eb5d8ed4da564c The only problem is I only have 32 things on it, so I am looking for ideas and inspiration to add to my list to get it to 50, if you can think of any please let me know. On this link you can see the things I have already completed as well, so you think of something you can check it on there to see if it’s a to do or a done :0) Also don’t be offended if I don’t add your suggestion, it just might not be right for me. Ooo I have just thought of a fab project for me to do…….. more on that at a later date. Whil...

I really think that we should adopt the Mediterranean’s attitude of having afternoons Siestas. Instead of a few hours off in the afternoon and working again in the evening. Leaning more towards and extra hour added on to your lunch break or half an hour to have a power nap. I think this would work wonders and also increase productivity and performance. I always find afternoon’s a struggle, I think it’s because after lunch I become sluggish while my body digests my food. I find my brain becomes a bit gloopy as well, and not as responsive. Well the gloop is slowly starting to lift and I am feeling a bit more responsive. I think it was the little break from the norm and a little chat goes a long way.

Well lo and behold another wet summer for us. As usual the met office lied and said we would have a nice hot summer, I scough as I sit here at the end of July in my winter clothes!!!! Of course the met office is trying to back track now and say that the media misinterpreted what they had said. To be honest I don’t mind the rain that much but I do like to have a summer. One of my best friends is getting married in about 2 weeks and so I am hoping the weather brightens up (the sun shines on the blessed and all that), also they are having a BBQ as their wedding reception. Each to their own I suppose, definitely wouldn’t be my choice. I can see it now, sausages and burger grease all down your lovely outfits, eeep!!! I much prefer the idea of a nice meal or lot’s of different cheeses and breads, with dips and oils. On a different note, I purchased a lovely new bike the other week in a bid to get fit and as of yet I haven’t ventured out on it. I have been waiting for some nice weather...

I am really not in the mood for much today and I can’t really place my finger on why. I am just going to put it down to the fact that it’s a Monday. I have to stay on in work until later today as I am helping lock up, not that I mind but I don’t want to do it today. Still at least it gets it out of the way for the rest of the week. Himself has actually agreed to go to the cinema with me this evening. This is momentous because we rarely go to the cinema as he doesn’t like it but then if I go with my friends or family he will sulk that I have been without him. There really is no winning with him. We are going to go to a late showing so there shouldn’t be too many children around; we both find them really annoying when they can’t behave in the cinema. Well, I have been ok most of the day but now I am resorting to clock watching. Booo!!!!! I hate doing that as it seems I am wishing my life away, which I am not really. Me and the girls did have a lovely weekend making and drinking co...
