Yawn

I've got the day off! and now I'm bored and restless. There's no -one to play with or chat to and I just can't settle blah!

At least this evening I'm going out for a meal with the writing group which will be nice although the down side is that it marks the end of the term and there will be no writing group until September.

The Library job

It was pre blog when i applied for the full time job on the mobile library, I really thought I'd got it but instead i got the standard letter........'you interviewed well........ strong candidates.......very close etc etc'

Today, while i was at work doing the job I didn't get, I found out just how Strong the candidates who beat me were.

#1. she had the driving assessment last week and can't drive the bigger vehicles.

#2. they are having to make further enquiries as his police check threw up some worrying information.

ok so in a way it feels good that the library service are suffering for not picking me but then i get to thinking, these people beat me to the job lol so where does that leave me?

tagged on all sides

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

culture (in Yorkshire?)

yesterday evening the entire family joined thousands of people in the grounds of a local stately home for the annual Opera in the park concert. It was a lovely evening and the weather and music were excellent. it is something of a tradition that people bring the trappings of fine living so there are lots of groups sat around tables in evening dress dining on exquisite foods and sipping the finest champagne, as the sun goes down thousands of lamps and candelabrum twinkle and thousands of voices join with the better know pieces. Unfortunately, my family do not enjoy the sense of occasion so we ate crisps and drank wine and beer on a rug in our jeans.

Today we should have been back there for the Party in the Park concert which features music of a more modern style, the rain was coming down in buckets so we didn't bother.

These events are one of the better things about Leeds as both events are free.

I'm a bit wobbly

mood wise that is.
I'm very up and down but I am keeping busy. I know when i get like this I'm hyper sensitive so i tend to be quiet and to avoid people so that i don't either annoy them or get annoyed.

I am going through a spell of not believing I can write anything worth while and of course the harder I try the less the ideas flow. O think it is best if I stop trying and do something which encourages me to think and strangely enough the thing that really gets my juices flowing is housework so if I can do a bit of frantic polishing or get my hands wet doing a load of delicates then I will be more my self.

writing group

there are such talented people in my writing group, sometimes i just want to sit and listen. Tonight a couple of people had written beautiful pieces where i had written shallow drivel which i was ashamed to read. I love writing and sometimes I write things I'm proud of but mostly I write to relax and as therapy, I know I'll never be truly talented and that's ok.
