"What a difference a day makes........

.....24 ....little hours", well thats what the song says, and it is true. Friday was not a good day! Overloaded by stats, an exam, an All Bar One nostalgic moment and an e mail row with a friend. I felt like Garfield, who used to be on my fridge, with arms outstretched saying " Come on world....Hit Me!!!" Meryl helped, as did a chat with Nu, and 24 hours or so later I feel alot better. On reflection I hated being angry with a friend but felt justified in saying what I did. I was just happy that I balanced my feelings of hurt with the truth that I missed them. Friendships from time to time do feel one sided, and that is painfull, especially as you feel you are the one that does the running the majority of the time. But I guess that is the way of the world. As long as your say what you need to and make up, thats important.

Last night I got away from doing a night shift, which was the best thing I could have done ( Not enough patients on ITU), so I said I would do an extra covering shift over Christmas, picked up some nice food on the way home and watched Strickly Come dancing, covered with dogs!

This morning was beautifull. The field outside the cottage looks lovely, The village Elder Steve rang and said that it is ours (I will wait for the official letter) and that we can put the chickens on it while we are waiting. I already have several bantams lined up from a bloke down the road , whose wife has left him!

This morning I am getting stuck into my stats questions (yeah right so why are you writing this) and this afternoon Janet and I are going the listen to Eric Knowles fromAntiques Roadshow at Theatr Clwyd.

Oh the excitement?! well yes it is pretty nice.

Had a chat with Susan (The dogs' breeder) and she gave me some advice regarding Meg's possible pregnancy. I am letting things go their own way...if she has puppies she has puppies......

OH Some excellent news!!! friends Nia and George in Australia have just had Little George!!!! I was so happy to hear that everyone is fine, happy and healthy.
