Life at the moment

At the moment i am finding life a little difficult. I cant seem to get out of this dull valley that i have found myself in. I cant pin point exactly why i feel this way or what emotion it is that i am mainly feeling but i know that whatever it is is not good. I'm feeling sad, I'm feeling angry, I'm feeling let down with where i am in my life. I might take some time tonight and write in my journal - get some of these thoughts and feelings onto paper.

I was hoping to do a happy post today with lots of inspiration but i think i will leave that for tomorrow now.

Here is July's roundup. Thanks Katies for a great idea!

What books and/or magazines did I read this month?
This month i have read my normal Joyce Meyers Magazine. I have also started A Thousand Splendid Suns and Look Great Feel Great.

What movies and/or TV shows did I watch this month?
Tuesday nights is NCIS on FX TV and Thursday nights is Greys Anatomy on Living TV. Other than that i don't watch a lot of TV.
Living with Stu of course we had to go and watch Harry Potter the first night it was out. We also rented Ghost Rider which was alright but not entirely my sort of film.
This past weekend we also went to watch Simpsons. A very "feel good" movie.

What illnesses or health concerns did I have?
I had a lovely appointment*she says with it dripping with sarcasm* with a lady nurse for lady things. So glad that is over for another 3 years!
Sadly, Bob passed away on Sunday 29th - we will miss him so very much.

What special or unusual purchases did I make?
This month we bought Stuart an xbox360 and too many games to count.
I bought myself some Armani Code perfume and also got a great bargain off of eBay for some sock yarn and sock knitting needles

What were my accomplishments this month?
*Stu passed his HGV Theory test first time....way to go honey!
I wrote my first exam for my course - still waiting for the results but just writing it feels like an accomplishment all on its own.

Well, that's my July all wrapped up.

Thanks for allowing me to share this with you and hopefully tomorrow i will be feeling a little more on top of things.

A Treasure

Firstly, let me just thank everyone for their kind words and even kinder emails. I'm feeling a little better today.

I thought i would share this blog that i came across which looks fantastic! Please go ahead and take a look.

SKULLS

Tomorrow I have some updates to share on the knitting front as well as some very interesting places that i have been visiting on the web.

God Bless you.

Local Discovery

I bet this is true for so many people. Why is it that we miss the things that are right under our noses? This is a street that Stu found in town while walking from one side of town to the other. He has lived here all his life and he never knew this road existed. I have lived here for about 5 years and i have never seen this road.

Sunday morning we got up and went into town with my camera to discover this little road and all that surrounds it.








At the end of the little cobble road we found an old grave yard. The tomb stones were amazing. Some of them going back 200 years. Some where so old and degraded that you could not read anything on it while others were so clear that it looked like they had been written yesterday. So many people buried here, so many different ages. 7 Weeks, 16 years, 27 years, 32 years and 68 years. Very interesting and all this time it has been in our back yard!

Saturday i wrote my first exam. Difficult but alright. I should get the results in a few weeks. Stu also bought me some Armani Code perfume. I love it! Thanks babe.
Feeling very low today as this morning I spoke to my gran before i left for work. She sounded so sad on the phone. I hope she knows how much i love her and how i wish i could be closer to her at this difficult time. I am going to do something over here in place of the funeral but i have not yet decided what.

Good Bye

In Loving Memory of Robert Owens who has passed away today at 11:30 am. You will be missed by all of us.
