Moving Flat etc. etc.

Well.. we moved flat and since then have been up to our necks in ummm curtain hemming, light fittings, plants, pets and furniture or to be more accurate.. I have been up to my neck in those things. It’s great having so much space and now almost everything is where it should be. The flat looked pretty bare when we moved in and got the furniture in place so of course I had to fill it up with plants.

I bought three ivy plants (two little one huge), one big brown spider plant type thing and I got a nice green houseplant that has red growth which goes green when the leaves grow which is pretty nice. My citris tree is considering giving up the ghost but I have some of it’s seeds and leaves planted and with any luck (no chance) something will sprout. My little ivys ivies?? are doing really well but the big one has decided that it doesn’t like its conditions and the leaves at the top have browned and died. I re-potted tonight and gave it some fertiliser so hopefully it won’t die like every other ivy I’ve ever had.. oh and I moved it into a sunnier spot..

Everytime I blog these days it’s about my plants.. sad sad sad. Scamp and Muhi are adjusting to their new home nicely and the budgies and Tortuga couldn’t care less where they are as long as there’s food.

I kind of have a new job. It’s as a personal assistant to a disabled girl. She’s got a wicked sense of humour so I think we’re getting along well. It’s really interesting. I’d never thought about doing this kind of work mainly cos I thought you’d need 7 years of uni education in this country to even be considered for it. Turns out, you don’t.. so that’s nice.

Still no word on my AICE diploma although the lawyer was supposed to be writing an email, that was a few weeks ago and haven’t heard anything.. also I still have some unfinished courses at school and the headmaster was supposed to call me three weeks ago and… haven’t heard anything. Think I’ll give him a call tomorrow. I hate when people say they’ll call or email and then don’t, although I realise they’re busy people but you’d think that after three weeks.. well.

So.. all in all life is on the up albeit slowly going up. We recently got our printed demo’s sent and it’s very exciting to see all our names in proper print. We had a gig last week in a secondary school and that went alright apart from me screwing up a few times, I really should practice. Yeahh and my grandparents are coming here soon, that’s exciting too. We have a gig while they’re here so it’ll have to be good.

A double bed was ordered today for us so soon we won’t have to sleep elbow to back anymore and even then it’s only elbow to back when the dog’s not on the bed.. when he’s there it’s more cold wet nose and lanky legs to back. I also ordered paint today to paint the kitchen and hopefully the living room cos it’s a bit mank.

My scooter Beryl is back in for repairs under her guarantee. Bloody indicators stopped working :S not good. The guarantee is only for a year and this is the second time already. Apparently there’s a queue at the mechanics so it could take another few weeks.

I should go to bed now.. almost 2am and I’m rambling like a boy scout in autumn. Anyhoo good night and stay away from cider and spirits!
