Things happen in 3's

They say things happen in 3's ........... now I'm a worried woman. On Wednesday afternoon the washing machine went wrong, I had a man come to look at it yesterday, we were both hoping it was something simple, but no, the motor had packed up. If I had

Enter .......... The Wellie Woman

You've all heard of the Puppet Man .............. Meet the Wellie Woman.I decided that as I may be going to the beach next week that it would be a good idea to get a pair of Wellies. I don't want to mess up my leather boots.While walking through the city

Nearly Over

It's nearly over "sob sob". Only two more speedway meetings till the end of the season. A GP on Saturday, and the Grand Final of the play offs next week. The first leg is on as we speak, Poole are a little bit ahead of Lakeside, but it can still go either

Life goes on ..... with more thought

After reading Niecey's blog I started to think of my friend Pauline who died last year. I had more-or-less lost touch with all of my childhood friends until Pauline's death. Pauline was only 50, and it hit me hard at the time. We spent a lot of time together

Thought of the day

After watching the speedway play-off semi final last night I got to thinking. Why do we have play-offs at all, Why does the team who have already won the league have to do it all again. It hardly seems fair does it. I don't agree with it at all. However

Speedway/Facebook

Many of my friends on Facebook are either speedway riders or speedway fans. I've been chatting to a young lady from the midlands who is desperate to ride speedway bikes, she is only 15, but it's what she really wants to do. Women can not ride in the speedway

Then and Now

I was at a party this afternoon for a friends little boy who is celebrating his first birthday, personally I think he was a little young to know much about it, but each to their own. I was invited, so I went along. While I was there I met a lady who knew

Food for thought

I've just got back from the Riverside pool, I went with my son late this afternoon. I did manage to get my swim in ok, and then went for a warm up in the steam room and sauna, but while we were there the pool was closed for an hour as someone had had

Speedway 2009

I have been half interested in the Australian Speedway GP for 2009 which has been talked about in Speedway Star. Not so much as to say that I will be going, because I've always known it would cost a lot of money. Although enough to say that if I put my

AQS

"Another Quiet Saturday".  I was feeling really tired, so I decided on a day at home. Yesterday I ended up washing the skirting boards along two long corridors at work, they are miles long (so the residents tell me, when they walk to the dining room

Quiet weekend

I had a quiet weekend, but I ended up feeling knackered anyway. On Saturday apart from food shopping and calling in at the library I didn't go far at all. I picked up a book about Len Read, who was a speedway rider at Norwich for a while. I read it all

Wherryman's Way Charity Run

This afternoon I took part in the Wherryman's Way Charity run. For my part I did the 5 miles between the sewerage works and Thorpe Station. The weather stayed dry, and it was very enjoyable. I love the Whitlingham Country Park, although usually I would

Showground

I had a good time at the Police Gala day yesterday. The weather was a bit too hot, as there was no breeze at all. I went in a simulator of a 150mph 750cc bike racing a track, it was a pretty bumpy ride, but good fun, but I won't be looking for a job as

Quiet times

My husband has not spoken to me since Sunday as I told him he wasn't to eat his food on the new sofas. I told the family before I had bought them, I didn't want them ruined, they were to eat food up at the table, or if they had a tray, in the old

Busy

It's been busy, luckily I'm having a long weekend off work. Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. We are having some new furniture delivered tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it, as the old 3 piece had got pretty shabby, no very shabby. This evening myself
