September 2019

 September was a busy month, I had been offered the job at the the bigger store as a supervisor, and within a couple of days all the paperwork had been signed off and sent to HR and I started on the Monday. My first day was stressful, the store was huge (One of the largest in the business) and I got lost several times, nearly fell on the escalator and broke a vase, all before my lunch break. Hopefully things were going to get better. The team were all lovely and really supportive, and by the end of the first week, I was starting to feel more settled in.

James took me out for dinner to celebrate, here we are having a meat feast at Sadlers! Thier food was amazing, and it's such a shame they closed down. We used to eat there quite a lot

Work was busy, and I started to work on my presentation skills for stock. Not bad for a first attempt at a presentation table! Maybe my colour balancing skills need a little bit of work through.
The fruits (and veg) of our labour was getting better in the garden, here was one days harvest!
We had builders in to rip our and renovate the conservatory, they were putting a proper roof on it with two skylights, as well as re-plastering and giving it a good refresh.
And I had a lovely evening out with my friend Sylvana as it was her birthday, a large group of us went out for a meal to celebrate. She's one of the loveliest people I know and a very close friend.
And of course, we went and fed some more feathered friends too! One day we will be like the pied piper and they will all follow us home, and we will all live together. Maybe!

Been so long...

Hello. I do apologize for there being such a delay in this post. Something has really stopped me from blogging the past two months, and it's almost felt like my fingertips have had no life in them. But the fact that I am typing this now may mean we are back on track. Lets see what I have to tell you. First off, I guess the most important news is that I now have two jobs. As well as working at the other place, I've also taken up a second job at another well known high street chain working Saturday and Sunday night's for some more cash before I go travelling across Europe. It's not too bad on the weekends I don't work at the usual place, but when I do work there, I end up going for no sleep or even a proper break for nearly 36 hours. It's bloody hard going, but at the end of the day, I need to do this if I want to get anywhere. As they say, no pain no gain. It was Nan's birthday saturday, so we all went up to her's for fish and chips and a bit of cake....

Siena

Now we all know towns and cities that have a major rivalry. Back home in England, it's between the city I live in, Southampton, and a city further along the coast called Portsmouth. It's mainly along football lines, but it's a rivalry all the same. However, no rivalry will ever come as close to being as fierce as between Siena and Florence. For years the two cities have tried to out do each other right from the beginning of time it seems! I can't tell you if there is a winner or not, but instead  have a look at some pictures of the fabulous Sienese cathedral. Even if you just do a day trip like I did, I promise you Siena won't dissapoint. Maybe then you can decide which of the two cities is the best?

San Marino

Next I visited everyone's favourite micro state, (no not Andorra!) San Marino! It was a bit of a challenge to get to, I caught the train from Ravenna to Rimini (literally managing to get on the train as it was about to pull away after a small fiasco at the ticket machine) then a coach from Rimini to Citta Di San Marino. First of all, no I didn't meet Valentina Monetta while I was there, but my gosh wow the views are fantastic! The whole city is perched high on the hills, and the ground is just a vertical drop next to you And perched atop these dramatic cliffs are the 3 towers of San Marino. Only one was open while I was there, and not only did it give me amazing views from the top, but It also had quite an interesting medieval weaponry exhibition, (yes that is a child's toy cannon, and people wonder why so many children died from accidents when they were allowed to play with cannons and muskets!) San Marino is a bit like the land that time forgot. Everywhere ...
