Frazzled

I am totally hassled. However I thought I would be soothed by by choosing a calming scene for this post!

I have had a shocker of a week:

migraines,
computers at work going down,
guests staying (who were great fun but needed driving round the coutryside to attend a wedding),
things breaking,
and then to top it all a burglary at work which resulted in my office (ground floor you see) being ransacked. There was glass everywhere and papers and stuff strwen all round the room. I don't know what you were doing on Saturday night but I was being fingerprinted by CID and SOCO officers... It was like being in TV. Sort of!

So that's what I've been doing! You?

Have you missed me?

Lovely friends

I have been soooo radio silent! I knew it had been a week or two since I last blogged but when I checked there now, I see it's been almost a month. Talk about going cold turkey!
Anyway I am very well but VERY busy and because of that a little tired.

I have been....

...working very hard (getting up early and coming home late);

...ironing my husband's shirts (admittedly once - but I did about 12 in that one session) because he thinks I do them better than the cleaner and I also feel a little guilty that I am being a neglectful wife letting him go out looking like a scarecrow;

...baking. TOTALLY recommend my recipe for coconut, cornflake & chocolate slices. It's a winner.

...working (I know I already mentioned it but I need you to understand I am a busy beaver);

...playing golf (you didn't see that one coming did you? I love it but I am totally rubbish);

...doing church stuff. (It was our Synod last week so we went to the missionary rally. It was very good. I also got very light headed: the ventilation wasn't great.)

...entertaining (I have had the odd lunch party here and there but we have TWENTY people coming for dinner (yes, proper food! ) tomorrow night and I only have 17 plates and if I'm making proper food I don't think I can get away with paper plates...).

Clearly I am telling you this so you feel excited for me that I have a jam packed roller coaster life (I sort of do; I also have a completely helter skelter, juggling plates in the air existence that sometimes exhausts me) but also so you realise that I haven't meant to abandon you but I promise I will try harder next time...

By the way, if you're not doing anythhing tomorrow, come along to my party. It's no bother -just bring a plate that's all (unless you don't mind making do with a paper towel).

lots of love
