action

What an action packed time. I left work on Friday and said goodbye to my lovely workmates, now ex workmates. I said goodbye to my computer and to my camera…both emotional moments.

Then I spent a weekend of unemployment in Cirencester where famous people apparently go to be famous. This was proved to me and my mum when she met me at Kemble station. She was waiting there to greet me and as she came forward to hug me a tall lady turned round and bumped into her. She apologised and then we realised it was actually more than a famous person, it was Royalty in the form of Princess Anne. She was very tall.

I made a wood stack which has always been an ambition of mine. This means I stacked logs up a wall and it looks lovely.

I saw another famous person then - Melinda Messinger who was switching on the christmas lights in Cirencester.

Then I came back to Bristol where the green people live. I am proving this tomorrow by starting my new job with Sustrans (which stands for sustainable transport).

To top off my exciting weekend I just steamed three mini christmas puddings and let the pan go dry and it set on fire but it’s ok I was calm and dipped a tea towel in water and put it over the pan to starve the flames. They went out but then I lifted the tea towel off to have a look and it burst into flames again. I saved the puddings though they do now have an aroma of burnt sick.

    I forgot to say when we discussed pudding steaming - don’t forget to keep checking the water.

    Regarding your log stacking. I had a similar goal achieved whilst in Abel Tasman Nat Park. I got to have a go at chopping wood with a MASSIVE HEAVY axe. I dont think it helped that I had been drinking and that our tour guide, who was also drunk, was setting off fireworks in a haphazard manor right behind me. It was fun but I wasnt very good at it and mostly I couldnt get the axe back out of the piece of wood.

    I just used the incorrect version of manor.
