Gwen Stefani? You lucky cow, she's awesome!
What did I do this weekend? Well...Friday night I hooked up with my ex co-workers from last year. (Don't know if you know, we all got made redundant May '06) and we all got very merry and basically did a pub crawl around Halifax. It was really nice catching up with them. This was the second such get together we've done, we're aiming for once every six months
Saturday, I got up at 8am, got ready, took the dog for a walk and then went off to my ward to meet up with my ward-colleague and conduct a 'walking surgery' (10am-12).
Was interesting as ever. One of the things I like about doing surgeries with this particular colleague is that when we're walking around he's always got an interesting take on things and can usually be relied upon to have a decent store of anecdotes and ideas.
After that I took Pilau for another walk, out into the valley, halfway up the hill along the sheep trails. Wish I'd had m'camera with me the valley looked great. Then I managed to force myself to sort through some papers and tidy up a bit...was quite pleased about that, 'cause I've completely lost control of the house just lately.
All the way through this activity, I'm wondering whether or not I want to go out Saturday night...I do, it's a good night out. Of course, the night out with 'the gang' also means my friend, D is there and I still haven't said anything to him. Am thinking I probably never will. He turns up to the meeting place almost fresh from the gym, I'm back on the brink again.
This all is seriously not helped by the whole eczema flare-up thing. I am way less confident interacting with people when my skin's like this.
Sunday = quiet. little bit of admin work, little reading, walked the dog in the woods, muck about on the Cellar and watch Sicko down at J's.
So there y'go, my weekend. Some good, some bad, some Pilau.
