Lucky for some 14 and a Day off, plus the Hamptons Pictures

After 13 mornings of getting up at 630AM in a row, I finally got a day off today. Even Saturday on my usual weekend off I had to go to an extra class to make sure I am ready for when I graduate my training and can be based out in Division as soon as I finish my training. Thankfully we were done within a couple of hours.

Once I got home we joint the local gym, which is so much closer than my old one and Dusan can walk there during the day if I am at work. Plus we get free parking for the Station which is a bonus.

Then we turned into a straight couple for the afternoon (vomits), just kidding, but spent half the day at B&Q trying to decide on a colour for the bathroom. It was B&Q, the Tile Store, then Sainsbury's and by then I was about to drop. Finally my every ounce of energy was zapped and we came home and watched some TV to relax.

Having missed Pancake Day earlier in the week, Dusan cooked up the batter and smothered them in Nuttella and then wondered why an hour later I didnt fancy a Steak dinner. I wonder ?

We got sent some of our pics from the Boys Weekend in the Hamptons today. See attached.

Today my Mother and Father popped in to see the new Sofa. Well at least thats what they said, but its always nice to see them.

We have been lazy things all day, just vegging out to which we feel a little guilty but if you cant totally veg on your first day off in 2 weeks, when can you relax? I was planning on a lie in for half the day today, but it never works out as you plan. I guess I was in the habit of waking at 630AM. Then today, my only day off in 14 I get woken in the early morning by.... a neighbor banging and decorating. Sigh, did I do something wrong in another life? We finally got up at 1100AM with a headache from the banging. With a hammer I mean! ;-)

How about a joke?

Snow White gets a Disposable Camera from the 7 dwarfs for Christmas and takes loads of festive pictures. On her next trip into town she takes them in to be developed and is told they will be ready in a few days. Snow white leaves and returns the following weekend. She hands over her ticket to the man who looks through the box and says "I'm sorry madam but they are not in yet, try in a few days". Disappointed she left returning in a weeks time. Once more she hands over her ticket, the man looks and says "I'm so sorry madam but they are not in, try in a few days". The week later she returns once more, once more hands over her ticket, once more the man looks through the box and once more she is told "I'm sorry madam, they are not in yet". With this, snow white is distraught and bursts into tears. "Now now", says the man behind the counter "Dont worry Snow White One Day your Prints will come"

Well I thought it was funny anyway.

There ends an exhausting and tiring fortnight and at last I got to spend some time at home, catch up on some sleep and finally get a sleep in. Cant wait till I finish training and can have a whole weekend to myself. Goodnight.
