Just one more....for the road  

Kensington High St please!  

It was lovely tonight in the *what we have to view as a* summer light.  

I'm feeling mental sentimental. 

Turnin' night into day.  I woke up at 5:00am today and couldn't get back to sleep, it's been a long, long day for me!

Me too

And she's gone.

Dreaming of Mario Lanza 

Sorry donks. That clip was lovely. Made me seek this out because it made me think of it.  

Nanite Carnelian... we should natter more often. 

Later Xochi 

I went just before two, set my alarm so I'd have AT LEAST 7 hours (but not oversleep) and woke up half an hour ago, having barely had 6.

Why? It's Sunday. I don't need to go anywhere/do anything in particular!

Why would you set an alarm then?

Must admit Fluffs, i agree with Jen. Alarms have no place on a 

Sunday!

ohh is it Sunday ? ! 

(only left my job on Thursday and I've lost track of the days already! )

Because if I oversleep I feel grotty for the rest of the day.

I've been skimping on sleep for quite a while now. Maybe once I get back to a proper sleep pattern I can dispense with the alarm,

Why have you left your job slinki? Nothing bad I hope?

voluntary severance EFFT.. lots of cuts in the sector so going ot do my own thang awhile and see if it works  

Ouch ! Hard work trying to re-establish a pattern ! Good luck with it 

And Xochi!! I keep missing your night shifts! 

Oh! Good luck with that.

Thanks! ! Having  a week off then going to run riot getting started up Got courses accredited and ready to go .. looking forward to it! ( I think! )

I'm very excited for you - you will keep us up to spec with your progress wont you?

ta Soozy! ! Willdo  x

Slinki - after reading your post I just rang my sister - she has taken voluntary severance and will be finishing at the end of July. She is a librarian and there is lots of competition for suitable jobs etc etc - aspecially as she doesn't drive.

Her passion is astrology - she has computer programmes and stuff and does it as a hobby for friends and family. I've just told her your story and suggested that she start something up. She has lots of contacts in the arts (she's librarian at an art college) and her husband is a literary editor so she should be able to set something up that not only looks and sounds good but is also very well researched and understood. 

Anyway ..........................good luck to you and thank you for giving me an idea for my sis.

Excellent Soozy! !  I just think it makes sense ! ! I hope she goes for it ..  it's rare we get the chance to try , and to do something you love doing and possibly make a living from it ..  perfect!

I just figure if I don't do it now I never will, and I'd always wonder how it would have gone.. this way I get to find out ! Keep me posted on your sis, eh ? 

Good luck, Slinki! I admire you for striking out on your own. Hope it turns into something you love.

Thanks Lori! ! It's complementary therapies ( which I love) and teaching ( which I love as well! )  so the aim is to be happy with what I'm doing and to make enough to get by on I reckon the first bit will take care of itself, fingers crossed for the second bit
