The Life and Times of Me

I'm back in Liverpool again.

I spent the week before th bank holiday weekend in Tim's house. It is nice being able to do that and not just have two days at the weekend.

For the bank holiday weekend I was on guide camp. We did a night hike, camp fire and wide game (a combination of find the flag and a trading game) in the evenings during the day we did woggle making, wood collecting, climbing, archery and shooting, with the girls having lots of time to get used to camping (for most of them it was their first camp). The weather was nice to us, rained the first night and then on the sunday and first thing on monday but most of the tents came down dry.

Been back in Liverpool and the process of sorting meself out has nearly finished (I cheated a little and stuffed stuff into boxes rather than going through it and deciding whether I really needed it). So I cleared my room enough so that I could hoover. It is now looking much better (sitting area at one end with my sofa and chair and sleeping at the other) now I just have to keep it this way.

Tim came to stay on firday (went home first thing this morning to play cricket). I bet when he arrived he didn't think he would have to move a piano? We have a little subsidance problem in the entrence hall. Also managed to buy Tim some curtains for his patio window (which has had normal length one on for ages and they were only £20... I couldn't make them for that cheep. I was after some purple velvet to make capes with put couldn't find any. I have my bridesmaids dress. The skirt bit is nice but I am indifferent to the top, I ain't a fan of being strapless. I had ordered two sizes of each part of the dress coz I never know what I am meant to be with the aim of returning the ones that don't fit. But I still have two tops. Me mum says she will pay for the extra one which we will take apart and use it to adapt the one which I will be wearing so it is more suitable.

We will have a house invaded by Hungarians on Monday. Andras has a place a glasgow school of art so him, Eszter and Noel are moving to the UK. On monday though they will arrive at our house for a stop off and will have with them both of Andras' parents and Eszter's mother. This could be interesting ;-)

Things for me todo this week include playing about with my down quilt, finishing my crocket shawl, sticking things in my scrap books and updating my campfire blog. I'm also thinking about making meself a patchwork blanket.

Next weekend is Tony Hale's 60th birthday so I will be heading to St Albans and then from there I will do a week in London staying with my Aunt. After that I think it is back to Tim's again.

Oh yes, I almost forgot, I applied for a job at Glenbrook guide centre in Derbyshire as the campsite warden/manager. Interviews are in mid October. Fingers crossed.
