Day 3

  Not a huge amount to report from the last two days. We’ve been pottering about the house getting things sorted. Lots of old crockery in the kitchen to be removed and boxed up. Lots of cleaning to be done as well. My old nemesis, the ants, have found us, so a good clean of the kitchen and living room floors is due today, then we can lay down some traps and hopefully that will deal with most of them.  The house is really lovely and big, but the last tenants didn’t treat the paint work very well. We’re going to speak to the landlady today to find out if we can get some paint and touch up the areas that need it. A good quarantine activity, and might provide us with some exercise as well. There are some areas we won’t be able to do like the staircase as the walls are too high without a ladder, we will do the places we can and get someone in to finish when quarantine is done.  Our shipment will arrive on the 16th August, so as soon as quarantine is done we can organize to hav...

What does life hold for me in the Year of the Sheep

According to the China Post, this is my destiny for the year: You are clever, and your energetic personality will propel you to accomplish tasks with impressive results.

Though it does feel like  the newspaper is getting on at me about my dissertation ( "focus your energy on the task at hand" )! Or maybe that's just my own guilt about not having done any work on it in a while.  I can see myself in the rest of the horoscope too. I do tend to get flustered easily and react instantly.   When I was undergoing cognitive behaviour therapy a couple of years ago, I found that I was much calmer and less likely to react instantly to situations. I ended up being very laid back, to the point of not being bothered by ...

Time flies

It's been a very long time since I updated my blog, mostly because not a lot has been happening lately apart from work and sleep. The Easter holidays came and went and now it's only a week until the end of term. This first year has really flown by. It's had its ups and downs but over all I'd give it a solid B+/A-.  So what's been happening: Well, first of all, I've been offered a new job! I know, exciting times in the Crofts/Greenwood household. I'm going to be moving to primary in August as their new Librarian. I'm very excited, though not so much about the amount of snot I'll be subjected to (hehe!). I'm over the moon to be back in the Library game again and looking forward to being the kooky Primary Librarian :) I hope I get to do story time. That would be epic! Today, I am turning the ripe old age of 31, which isn't exciting or terrifying at all. It's been a rather quite day so far which has been nice. James and I have plans to ...
