Last posting date for outside Europe/USA is this Friday. Two cards and a gift I have to get in the post to Australia then...

(For dates see here )

and why is it that the blue plasters used in kitchens fall of almost as soon as you have put them on?
Is it just to prove they can be seen ?

Why is jam so sticky?

Why am I sitting here like a lemon with a Christmas hat on???

Ho Ho Ho!!!!!!!


**No, we haven't been drinking!**

If I had to compose something what would it be?

That smilie isn't actually a bad representation of a lemon with a Christmas hat on...

Like it!

excellent

*sigh*

? awww

I am told I do a lot of that...

Things are getting too much for me. And I dont know what to do about an important decision that people wont let me make.

How does glitter manage to get absolutely everywhere?? I'm absolutely covered in it, and so is anything else I've touched today

now that is tricky... do 'people' not see it as important, or not as you decision?

The people who would be the ones to sort it, dont share the same opinion as me... but they wont listen to my reasons and its ARGH

bit like having something to say about it, but you are invisible and inaudible?

The two people who could do something about it, both agree with each other and are in a higher position and can make the decisions I cant.... I keep getting told I can do it, and not to worry... but they wont see my side of things and listen to them

ok... sorry for you..

thanks, I just need to get things sorted out properly.

Oh noodle....this week you have beautiful memories of your beautiful cat xxxx

I know..but he was poorly....

**Gets tissue..blows nose loudly**

*hugs* to Soph and noodle



To add to that... does anyone have any ideas how I can get the glitter off my face, arms, hair, clothes, bag, phone, camera etc. ?

Thanks DF... Have you tried sellotape

*hugs to noodle* I had a dream last night where I went back to our old house and they had kept Hamish. I could see him but the new owners wouldn't let me hold him.

I was given a really nice poem when he died, if I find it I could perhaps show it to you; it might help just a tiny bit...

Hope you get it sorted soon Soph.

Driving home today I snuck through a sort-of short-cut which takes me on a road parallel to the normal road for about 500 yards. I noticed that one of the buildings I go past along that route is Faber distribution, which is also the home of Barenreiter's UK distribution.

Do you think they'd hand over one copy of everything recorder-y in exchange for not playing a garklein at them?

I've bought some After Eights for Christmas, and just to be rebellious, I think I'll have one on Christmas Day at 7:59.

Why is it that whenever you see a company claiming to have done something "for your convenience", it's always more INconvenient

Who fills their car with petrol? I think that's a waste. I just fill the fuel tank.




Who boils a kettle? How do you boil a kettle anyway when its made of metal and plastic? I boil the water in the kettle

but always "as a service to our customers.." ?



if we have any left

Why did the weather have to be so foul the one day I wanted to spend (mostly) outdoors??

Oh well, it didn't dampen ( ) our spirits, Bath christmas market was really loverly

**warning - selfish post alert!**

Grrr! My dad's been away training some people offshore this week and was meant to be travelling home tonight to spend the weekend at home. He just called to say that a smaller helicopter was used so he couldn't fly today, and that the next schesduled flight is on Monday.

[/selfishness]

Other randomness floating about in my mind...very little for once!

is the weather really bad your way
I saw that the Severn Bridge is closed because of high winds..



no, I know that is not very near to you !

I know what that feels like when you want to see someone

yes, exactly. Sort of empty .... yearning?

Yep.

Life can be tough can't it?

It definitely has its ups and downs.

yes

I think it's been pretty windy SaxFan - 150 miles north of Shetland but... He's just flown into Aberdeen on a late flight.

that's good !!

Oh, good news!

human behaviour - how odd!

I've got a sore throat

Oh dear...

it's Friday...

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

AND I'm off work from the 20th to the 3rd

So, under two weeks to go until I'm FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Sore throat? What sore throat?)

How are you DC?

Envious I get Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day off..that's it!

**Maybe I could have your sore throat instead, round about the 24th? Thank you.**

Of course; I'll post it to you.

Our company gave us three extra days holiday for the end of the year as a present

My throat is killing me too!

Theory results...can't wait! lol
Music exam results...and oh dear, guitar exam on monday...

promise me

...that if i make it back
you will be there
waiting for me

...that you will never forget
the fear in our hearts today; each day
least this be it, and we never see again

promise you won't argue, fight
raise your hand nor voice above your cry today
nor let the sun set on our long faces

...that you will find mercy in your heart for me
to hear each while we struggle with words
promise to remember these moments

protect our hearts. walk my soul
as we heal through the sorrows of our tribulations
to pull through together

promise God. promise me. promise yourself
that if i make it and come home
you will never give up on me

as for me
what more can i give
than to hold you till the end of my days...

promise me as i leave for iraq

spc jones, burnett (sar city, iraq)
