Adventure Stage 2... The Bus

Ha ha! It may have been cheap... but it's broken down!!!! Luckily it did so before the coast road and the replacement arrived in no time!! Next stop New Quay! Hopefully I'll get chance to dolphin spot!!

Mini Aventure

I'm on my way to my best friend Laura's house for her hen weekend. It won't be the tacky silliness of some hen weekends as we really aren't those kind of girlies!! Instead we are having a lovely garden party with a BBQ and then out for an evening of live music.
The extra fun part (for me) of this weekend is that Laura lives in Wales! Yay! My favourite place!!
I set off from home this morning at 9.20 feeling perky perky!



So far I have enjoyed a lovely train journey that I never bore of however many times I visit her! Unlike normal times however Laura is working so I find myself in Aberystwyth without the normal lift! Cue adventure!! A 45 minute wait for the bus meant time to sit on the beach and treat myself to chips for lunch! Yummy!!


A stroll back down into town and then the anxiety of making sure I get the right bus and being convinced I don't have enough money for my ticket! I mean, come on, the bus journey takes well over 2 hours... It'll cost alot! This anxiety is followed by the excitement when the driver says that the ticket costs £4.50!! Amazing!!! And I'm off!!!

Hello Blogland

We'll I've been in my new job for a month now. Its all still new and exciting and also very very challenging! I'm enjoying it but finding it a little tricky to get to grips with some of the personaililties I now work with! And of course as I'm the manager everything that goes wrong is my fault!!! So its been tough! Good...but tough!

A major downside to the job is the travelling :-( I've never regreted not driving before but I do now.  Although the town I work in is only 20 minutes away from my home, the bus times don't work out well. I'm finishing work at 5.30 but not home until nearly 7! Yawn! Except Mondays when I finish at 7 but don't get home until 9!! Double Yawn!!
What this has meant is that I never craft any more - sob!! I'm so drained when I get in and get changed, eat food, tidy up, that I just sit and then go to bed :-(
One of my major goals for myself is to bring back regular crafting into my daily life. It brings me such joy and I feel so sad without it there.
Thats me for now. I haven't been on the blogs I read for so long and I have missed you all alot. Thats hopefully going to change now my computer access is sorted and I can blog at lunch times again. Yippie!! Byyyyye for now x
