Rain, Sheep and no job!!

 

Hope you have all had a good week so far.  I'm sorry I haven't been visiting journals this week.  The house has been chaotic.  Since New Year the phone hasn't stopped ringing, and E-mails have been coming thick and fast.  I'm not complaining mind you, we need the bookings.  :)  I will try to catch up a bit tonight.

 

Today it is cold.  It's pouring with rain although there is not much wind. It's quite soothing actually sitting here just listening to the rain on the windows.

 

I went to sign on at the agency this morning.  Unfortunately they don't have any jobs available for the hours I need.  The girl I spoke to was very helpful though and she gave me a few companies to ring direct, which I will do.  I will also try and find some good child care for Adam.  So all in all I was a bit disappointed, but then I knew the hours I need would be difficult.

 

Do you remember the sheep from a couple of days ago.???  Well, I am not sure if they took any sheep out of the field, or whether they were bringing them in.  Looking in the field yesterday there still seems to be a lot of sheep in there. !!!!!  :)  So I don't know.

 

Thank you for all your comments on Wednesday.  It got me thinking about the Dyson. 

I have to say that it is quite a noisy hoover, but I haven't really got anything to compare it with. 

I have had a Dyson for a good number of years, and I have to say it is the best hoover I have ever had, which is why I always replace it with another one. 

I have a small hoover, not a Dyson, which I leave in the caravan, but even that is a bit noisy. 

This is my third Dyson. 

The first one went with a bang after my dog, Scamp, for some reason known only to himself decided to cock his leg up it and peed all over it.  Not good!!!:)  The second one, well what can I say, it was abused.

 

Yesterday, didn't really do much either.  We went shopping.  We needed some things for the caravan. 

Adam needed some new swimming shorts for this morning.  The ones he has are a bit tight, but he has had to manage with them, because we could not find any anywhere. 

And believe me we looked.!!! 

I was going to look again this morning, but the weather was so horrible and cold, we just came home instead.  I have until next Friday to get him some new ones, so it wasn't that urgent today.

 

Keith is off work today sick.  Man flu. 'Nuff said.

 

I thought I would leave you with some photos of the baby elephant.  The photos don't show just how big it is.  But you get the general idea.

 

 

This is sort of the side view

 

This is the front to the back.

 

Indigo, I would like to thank you for the beautiful comment you left.  It was very much appreciated by both Laura and myself.  Thank you again.

 

Update:  Since I wrote this entry the wind has got up, rain is still pouring and we have snow falling.  I'm not getting too excited because I know it won't last.

 

Have a good evening everyone.
