In for first ten minutes, I have 3 cars not stopping and going under my stick.

Plenting of BOING going on!

One tank goes past, she hadn't scraped any of the her windows, only a bit on her windscreen to see out of!

Cars were going too fast, and had to brake very quickly or it would be tap and crack for them!

The sun was coming up \o/

Finished the morning stint in one piece.

I collected the newspaper on the way home.

I put the coffee machine on.

Now to change into my pink Lycra

Out comes the spin bike.

What film am I going to watch?

 My mobile phone went off.

I ignored it and carried on.

Very nice.

The sun is out once more...

Time for those big big sunglasses to come out!

Still had my two winter hats on, as well as my gloves.

I turned on lights.

Now to go and chat with my friends...

There is going to be trouble ahead with that low lying sun.

I said goodbye to my friends.

Cars were just driving and not looking what's going on.

Two cars, one after each other just ignore my stick and drove under it.

The other two that followed at BOINGs!

One white van just saw my stick before I do TAP and CRACK on his windscreen.

He stopped dead in front of me!

"How was I supposed to get the kids over with a white van in the way?"

I told him to carry on!

Hometime!

I got chatting with my friend who is having a op on his hand next week. He was out with his wife, walking their dog.

She said:"You had better go and put tea on."

I replied,"I already have, just need to put the oven on."

They are have Jacket potato with salad.

I said,"Next time hubby asks what for tea, sniff the air, and say salad!"

They both laughed.

I said goodbye to both.

Back home.

I cover up Sexy Beast.

Puts the oven on.

Time for a brew!

Now to get on with writing yesterday's blog post.

Things didn't go as planned 😨

I was second to be interviewed.

During the interview,

I was asked "If I would go for another ward, if I didn't get this one?"

(Red lights flashing!)

Waited in the waiting room to find out my fate.

My gut feeling says no.....

As normal, I didn't set my expections to high and my gut was right....

I didn't get chosen!

My interview notes went into the recycle bin! 

Now to wait for the gloating to start that I didn't get it!

My hubby was quite upset I didn't get chosen.

I gave him a big hug and sloppy 💋

As we have watched "House of Cards", I am glad I am out of it!
