I visited my friend in Henley last night, I left to come home at about 10.45. Part of the journey is on country roads going through a dark forest. So before I left knowing I might get frightened I locked my car doors to give me reassurance should I have to slow down or stop. Most of the journey was spent driving on full beams as there were hardly any cars around, so I only needed to dip them every now and again. The rain was driving down and looking in my mirrors behind me all I could see was pitch black. I thought I wasn't frightened, I thought I was ok. I had my cd player on and I reassured myself that I was driving at 50mph and I was safe. Until suddenly a man's voice booms out and I jump out of my skin, my heart pounding. "In 300 yards turn left"
I had to laugh once my heart beat had returned to normal!

Sunday and Monday
I'm not sure whether this post will be very long but here goes.
Yesterday I worked the early shift, had lots of little jobs to do and the shift went pretty quickly. After work I chilled at home and had dinner. Then watched on thin ice in my pjs. I totally loved that series, it was really inspiring. I don't think I could ever do that because I wouldn't really want the risks associated with trekking to the South Pole. I think it would be an amazing thing to say you had trekked to the South Pole, but perhaps not for me! I'll find something else to do to make people say wow.
Work again today this time the playscheme, we played kwik cricket this afternoon. As a general rule I am rubbish at most sports, but am normally quite good at batting in cricket (not fielding as I cannot catch or throw well) however today I was rubbish, embarassingly rubbish! Oh well, the sun was shining and we were outside and I was getting paid. Working the playscheme again tomorrow, I am hoping for nice weather as we are going to the woods in the morning, I think it will be great to go off site for a bit and break up the day for a bit. Think it's trampolining in the afternoon which is always a hit with the kids (and me!).
I'm off to my friend Kim's after work tomorrow to watch a film and have a gossip.
I have just sent my CV and covering letter off for a job I am applying for, so fingers crossed!
Not really any other news from here, will be a busy week this week with work but also seeing friends too which is great as when I work lates I don't get to see my friends very much.

Saturday
I had work today and a bit of a late night last night so am vowing to go to bed earlier tonight so that I don't feel quite so bad tomorrow. I went to my friend's house last night as another of our friends was back from Cardiff for the weekend. We had a nice natter and ate delicious cakes. One was make with grated courgette instead of butter and was simply delicious, apart from one tiny green speck you would never have known there was any courgette in it. The other cake has loads of plain chocolate in a mix of 70% and 90% cocoa varieties, it was still warm when we ate it and was yum yum yum! I got home just after midnight and by the time I was ready for bed it was about half past. I didn't sleep very well because my itchy ear was driving me mad. Sods law says that I fell into a lovely deep sleep ready for when my alarm went off at 7am.
I made my own pasta sauce yesterday with red onion, courgette and tinned tomatoes and a little olive oil. I then cooked some pasta and took it to work to have cold for my lunch today. I was anticipating it being a bit gross and me not eating much of it. In fact it was really quite nice and pretty healthy. I had such a large portion of sauce(it was more like a ratatouille type thing than a sauce, loadsa chunky veg) that it was about half a large courgette, half a red onion and half a tin of tomatoes which would have been 3 of my 5 a day and I also had a banana and an apple. So I had all of my 5 a day at work. I have to say I do struggle to have my 5 a day sometimes.
I've had a sore throat all week, a very low level thing and a spot in my throat. For some reason I frequently get a sore throat and a spot in it or on the roof of my mouth for no reason. So I'm trying to fruit and veg it up to get rid! That and a few early nights should sort me right out.
I have been working on my cv this evening and my dad is going to proof read it for me tomorrow when I am at work.
I finish at 3.30 tomorrow so am thinking I'll go to the gym on the way home from work, but that's gonna be a wait and see how tired I am kinda thing.
Right now I think I'm gonna chill out in front of the tv and get an early night, as an aside to that I find I watch hardly any tv when I'm on lates cos daytime tv is rubbish now that bondi rescue has finished!

Welcome
Well hello there!
This is my brand spanking new blog. The old one can be found at http://sophinda.diaryland.com
I decided it was time for a change. I have had my previous blog for yonks, I can't remember how long but it was certainly when I was still at school (before 6th form) so at least 5 or 6 years ago.
This being the first post I'm not sure what else to write, other than welcome and I hope you enjoy reading.
