Matt Cardle....... well done my son

Today's shift was slightly better.
Still as front line nurses we see the vulnerable and the sick and with them are all of their relatives and friends,. battling the demons and the fears all of their own.....so after a weekend of it...it was nice to come home to a rather nice beef bourguignon and the sweet frivolity of the x factor final.
Mind you , I hate results shows...
They stress me out.....
I took the dogs out for their evening "pee" in an effort to miss the final countdown and got my timing all wrong and arrived back in the living room just in time for the "reading of the envelope"
Bugger me....
He Won...!..........and .It was all very Hollywood!!!!!!!! lots of tears (his not mine) and a worthy other finalist in the graceful Rebecca!....I am finally happy that the whole shebang is now over with!
Its been exhausting!!!!!

  1. Ouch! Rotten timing, but were great results! I am the same way - rather know the results, after the fact. I don't do well with tension. :-)

  3. I can just see you grinning from ear to ear :)
    Maybe we'll see more of him on this side of the pond ...
    It's snowing here, first this year, I'm wondering if I'll be working tomorrow, or whether they'll roll the roads up as is usually the case.
    My road goes downhill, so not something to look forward to.
