It is terribly quiet at work,but we are putting that down to the major flooding we have had here in Northland,the first one on March,the 2nd April and the third lot in July.We lost our power for 3 days,but we got off lightly compared to some who had no power for a week.We lived on takeaways,lit lots of candles,bought what water we could from the supermarket and drank lots of wine.
We were actually very lucky compared to some,we were able to get into work,and top up on coffee and tea there.I can't live without my coffee,and what with having no water at home, or power, early morning was not good.We have discovered that you can have a very makeshift wash in 1 1/2 cups of water,heated on top of the potbelly stove.We were lucky to be able to do that as we hadn't used all our wood from last winter,Its been lots of fun.
Thank you bringing the Pogues back to mind.I love Van Morrison and most Irish bands,and I had completely forgotten that I had the Pogues.So "If I Should Fall From Grace etc." is now on the play list at work.I love Fairytale of New York always have but in the last week I have had Worms on the brain.Just can't get rid of it.
Must stop rambling now and actually go and do some worok,else Tim will be getting ratty with me
Blog again soon Jude
