Today was very much a day when I could have done with the sun being out all day, but it wasn’t to be.
The first and last time I was aware of the sun today was at around 7:45pm-ish when I took this.

And I promised myself an early night. I am to be parked in front of my laptop all weekend… so will be online for all kinds of work avoidance!

…is my way to make a living at the moment. And if the first day is any indication I think I’m gonna like it here! The people I share the office with are lovely, and the other people who work there are also glorious. Of course, I have no idea what I am doing, have no login for the computer system and no space on my desk, but I don’t feel like my head is going to explode!
The day started off with the most glorious skies - they were like something out of Gone With The Wind, a Technicolor dream.

which put me in a good mood for the rest of the day. I feel as if the work I am doing is contributing to something. And this is pretty much all I want at the moment.
After work finished to keep my good mood going I went for a wander round the Shopping Centre, gazing at the lights and all the various prettiness, windows shopping my way through Christmas - I think I finally have an idea what to get Mum, but still no clues for Dad - any ideas?
Then I walked up to the Flag Market and was amazed by the sight of the Ferris Wheel parked right in the middle. In my head, I was ooo-ing at all the lights

(even though it would have been nice to be able to get a full frontal shot of the Harris Museum.

Then I went for a quick look at the Nativity Scene the council wheels out every year before running (well, walking swiftly) for the bus.

Sleep will come easily tonight - using your brain all day is hard!

Everybody else in the whole country has already blogged about England not being in the European Championships next year, and I am just too disappointed to be bothered. Steve Mclaren. Fired you were. Tosser.
Right, on to something else. Me. A bit selfish I know, but, well, my blog, my rules… During my continued boredom I have been scanning old photos partly because, through a series of incidents, I no longer have my own, and partly because I want them around to remind me of who I was…
This also gives me the opportunity to embarrass myself in public. Ladies and gentlemen… Me.

This first one was taken while I was walking on a Club Day Parade. I think it was about 1988… Butter wouldn’t melt… pffff!

A year later and I decide that a perm would be a good idea. A bubble perm. Oh, the 80s were not kind!

This was 1985, right around the time my brother was born - it looks about a thousand years ago… I was 7 and I remember loving that tracksuit thing…

And finally, baby me… sweet, innocent… totally and completely unaware…
I have some others but they have other people in the photo’s too - like my brother and I’m not sure he would ever forgive me if I put them out there!
