Woke up at 8am and decided I was too ill to go to work so I called them and spent the morning in bed. Got up at 10:30 and read and pottered about. Aaron had lent us th car for the day so after Claire had finished we went to Chesterman and just sat and looked at the view. I went back to work at 5pm and am still here now. I feel really yuck, I'm tired, my had, neck, nose etc all hurt and work is the last place I want to be. I want to be at home, in front of the fire, while my Mum makes me a hot honey and lemon and baked beans on toast. Claire brought me a cream cheese sandwich though!
Claire took the car to Chesterman to watch the sunset but fell asleep! Now she's gone home to wa th Hamlet with Kenneth Brannagh. I've only got another 90mins to go.
Tuesday 9th September
Practically crawled to work today. I had nine rooms to do so I called Claire to say I couldn't partipate in her unexpected day off due to ththe coffee machine breaking. After work I went to Aaron's for as however and then met Claire in town for an ice cream. I bolted down my dinner and came to work which is where I am now. I got 3 letters today. One from Heather, Kevin and Mum. First shock was Mum's chucked in her job. I hope she'll be happier now.
I was really pleased to hear from Kevin, he'd left a message on my Telekey yesterday saying he'd posted me a letter on Friday and amazingly it was here today!
Heather's was pretty much old news as I'd spoken to her the day she wrote the letter. So now I've got a busy evening writing back to them all plus Sharon.I forgot I already wrote to a Sharon so that's one less letter. Claire did the laundry so clean clothes again. Quite the uneventful evening.
Wednesday 10th September
I was really happy today because I got to watch the England v Moldova World Cup qualifying match and therefore I got to see David!
I went to the post office, pod and coop and came to work. Brenda was sacked for the Maquinna for no apparent reason. She's taking them to court, that's what the gossip says anyway. I finish on Friday and Hazel next week so the guy who started today, Pascal, will be on his own soon.
Work was OK. Claire came in after talking to Bernie and has decided we'll probably go to Vancouver. We went to e bar after work for Kareoke although we didn't sing!
Thursday 11th September
Worked again 9-1, tomorrow is my last day!
There was a power cut for 2 or so hours this afternoon. Unfortunately it happened after I finished the hoovering.
I'm probably going to the bar this evening after work. Thursday really seems like THE night to go out, I can't wait to lie in on Saturday.
I did go to the bar and had probably too much to drink, 4 Luckys. Kevin said I didn't have to do housekeeping tomorrow so I figured I could let rip. Claire came in and said that the ladder fell down and we're moving into the private room tonight. She was invited to the beach with nelson beauty declined and came to the bar with me.
I had some BUNACers come in who were on a trip from Vancouver. Unfortunately I didn't have time to speak to them but they came back later drunk! One of them was from Bournemouth.
