Why 365

now I was thinking, probably a stupid thought but a thought just the same. Why is it that a year is 365 days? why is it that we have 12 months? When we were decimalised shouldn't we have looked at this as well? just think we could have a year which was say 500 days, 10 months of 50 days...and we'd all be younger

Blood Pressure

now where shall I start. Today I had an appointment to have my blood pressure checked, it runs a bit high but then living with my lot its not suprising!
The day started well, up at 6:30, shower, wash hair, have breakfast, read the paper, make lunches ...all ok so far but then.......agh!
Dog was sick, not a major problem you may think but as I have told you we are in temporary accomodation. what I didn't tell you was that I have an off white carpet....so there I was on hands and knees scrubbing carpet and trying to get rid of beautifully yellow coloured bile. yuk! There's more....husband came in demanding how long had my front headlight not been working on my car.....now is that my responsibility ? I just drive it!
so its now nearing 7:30 and i thought that I could nip to the garage to see if they could change the bulb ( hubby not capable). Well I was greeted by 7 members of staff , great I thought, all who could but wouldn't as they weren't "technicians"...come back later. Don't they realise that I have other things to do? So 7:40 now , so I could go back home and face the wrath of the super grump or go to my sisters for a coffee, doesn't take much guessing which I chose. Got to sisters house, not up...so got her out of bed to make me a coffee, she's sweet like that. Had a nice calming chat and left at 8:30 for my doctors appointment at 8:45, not a problem I thought usuallu takes 5mins. WRONG... the road is closed in a local village and so all the traffic is coming through the town , so after trying three different ways I abandonned the car and ran....it is now 8:55. Now as my friends know I am not fit, fit to sit, fit to drop but definately not fit to run! So as I arrive at the doctors puffing and panting it is obvious to me and everybody else that my blood pressure is likey to be raised....and guess what...it was.
So after another 15 mins got taken again...still high and now I may have to see the doc for different medication. ITs not my fault I'm stressed out!!!!!!
But did my morning end there oh no.....took the car back to the garage who arranged for bulb to be changed. 3/4hr later after sitting in reception listening to some male twit using his mobile acting as if it was his office and sharing some secrecies, my car was fixed ( little does the twit know that I wrote down his name and his bosses name and the name of the person he was talking about and have googled them ...an email is winging its way to his boss as I speak). So off to work then?...no off my house to have a word with the builders and my neighbour. Yesterday my neighbour and I received a mail shot from a london company who were after work. They have totally upset my neighbour , she is 87, and after speaking to the builders, completely unecessarily.I am so cross, the lengths people go to to make a few bucks...I will be writing to them.
So off to work now....petrol light comes on, should be ok till later so won't worry about that, get to work and I don't have my identity card to get in ( shall I go home?) Anyway get in , here now, and wondering what else today will bring...............

time wrong

whilst it has been known for me to stay up late on the computer I am never on at 2:40am so ther is obviously something wrong with my blog clock.
Due to technophobia and excessive hormones it is likely to stay that way so unless I can summons some wonderful wizzy giggy being to alter it , it will stay that way.
Please bear this in mind when reading....and oh by the way it is actually 10:50am!

do you have a favourite loo?

now I know that may sound a really stupid qusetion but why is that when I am at work and have the choice of six do i always go to the same one? and even more bizarrely why do i hang on and cross my legs if the others are free but "mine" isn't"?
It's the same at home, I have two loos but only ever use one? Why?
It's not as if one is more comfortable than the other, I mean loo's are much of a muchness aren't they? It's not as if one smells nicer than the other ( although at home that is often true) , The loo roll is the same quality ...mmmmm why then?
any ideas?

I can create , believe me but at the moment I am living in temporary accomodation whilst some work is being done on my house so creativity is in short supply at the moment as I concentrate on other things. However I thought you might like to read a song/poem I wrote a few years ago..its easier for me to post that than picture at the mo. Enjoy


Another day, another year
Another century
A child is born, another dies
What of you and me?

The hands of time are turning
The hours go so fast
Hours turn from days to months
Another year has past.
Do we have time to stop and think
Do we have time to care
Do we have time to love, to give
To listen and to share.
Do we think of others
Are we considerate and kind
Are we tolerant, forgiving
Can we sleep with peace of mind?

Another day, another year
Another century
A Child is born, another dies
What of you and me?

If only I’d have listened
And made the time to care
When you cried out that you needed me
If only I’d been there
If only I’d have given you
A bit more of my time
Instead of rushing here and there
Would you still be mine
I didn’t know, I didn’t think
I didn’t understand
I was impatient, I was selfish
To me my life was planned.

And now I sit here lonely
And think of times gone by
Life is very precious
And now I realise why.

Another day, another year
Another century
A child is born, another dies
What of you and me.

"What if?" "If only?" "could have" should have" are all now banned from my vocabulary!
I don't want to hear them any more. Could there be any more destructive negative things to say? The more you think on these lines the more you are suggesting that what you have could be better, well I'm quite happy with my lot thanks. Ok, it might not be perfect but its mine.
Yes things could have been different but being different doesn't mean that they would necessarily be any better.
I have a relatively good lifestyle, lovely family and lovely friends...what more could I ask for

Well here I am again. Do you ever have one of those feelings that no matter what you do nothings going to be right? I know all the sayings " if life gives you lemons ...make lemonade" etc but sometimes i think is this it? Now don't get me wrong I'm not depressed, miserable or suicidal just contemplating things. We all have plans don't we? Well wouldn't it be nice if everything we planned for happened how we wanted it to? or if not everything something?
Boxing Day, I'd planned to go to a party..did I go? No ..I was ill!, I went to fill up with petrol, did I? yes but I'd forgotten my credit card so had to scrape together cash including those coins that fall down the back of your seat.One day last week I left work promptly to get home on time, Did I? No..there was an accident, the road got closed and I sat in my car freezing for two hours. Its like the cashmere sweater that you've left by your bed ready to hand wash that your husband decides to "help" you and put it in the washing machine, the food that you planned to cook for dinner which was eaten by your sons friends for lunch whilst you were at work.
I suppose its called life but just one day it would be nice if it could go according to plan...is that too much to ask for?

Welcome

Well hello everyone and welcome to my world!
An interesting title don't you think? Does this mean I am creative or does it mean I moan alot, If I am creative then what do I create and if I moan alot what do I "create" about. Do I create calm or do I create havoc? Maybe I create havoc when I am creative or maybe I am calm when I create?
I'll fill you in later
