Mmmm let me think. Well I've recorded Desperate Housewives so I can look forward to watching that. The new Bond film will eventually be released and I can't wait to see it. It's Salsa tonight...

Blogging Heaven

I've clocked up some serious hours this week working on my blogs and websites, my eyes are square, my head is throbbing and I have an annoying little knot in my left shoulder which I'm sure has been caused by keyboarditus.

Enough to drive you NUTS!

I can't stand seeing any more propaganda re Alzheimers. All this rubbish about if you keep your brain active, if you eat folic acid, if you ease up on the alcohol and stop smoking, ENOUGH!

Hubble Bubble Van & Trouble

There are those who might think I am a witch at times but some days I wish a was. I'd love to cast a spell across my van dashboard right now and make the flashing lights disappear but guess I'll have to stick to less mystical solutions!

Fordham Market Easter Monday is cancelled

Thankfully this is supposedly the last early Easter for sixty years. Four precious days without trade has left us cursing at this most holy of times but in truth I was much in need of a holiday.

Strange the things that come to mind when doing a bit of DIY, sealing the shower took me back to infant school!

One of our favourite past times at infant school was covering our mischievous little hands and digits with white glue so we could could spend the next half hour peeling it off. This seemed like a great game at the time but as an adult it's a pain when your hands get covered in sealant and you can't get it off fast enough!

I actually love playing a bit of Bobette The Builder when it suits me but I am a somewhat messy worker and gloves never appeal so now although we have a pristine shower unit my hands look like someone caught in a nuclear accident. Fortunately the white flakes are silicone and not skin.

I always was a Tomboy and my early influences were Maurice the man nextdoor who actually was a builder. In admiring imitation I am told I used to get up early, stick on my Pork Pie hat (why I had such a hat I don't know) and toddle off down the garden to build things (no grand designs I can assure you.) I still like messing about with buildery things, last summer I mixed concrete to rescue the patio, let's just say I'm not the neatest of workers but it'll do for now!

If I were a bloke I no doubt would be the kind of grease monkey who never quite gets clean, paint in hair, black beneath the fingernails and silicone behind the ears!

This could explain why I ended up a market trader - forget the girly jewellery thing, really it's the putting up of bars, lifting of weights and driving a van that holds the real appeal. Perhaps not quite the image I was hoping to portray but there you go!
