03:33 pm - LUCKITY LUCKITY LUCK
Today...well, last night, THE CLOCKS WENT BACK.
For those of you unfamiliar with this, this meant the end of British Summer Time and also An Extra Hour In Bed.
It was wonderful. Despite usually being an early bird, lately I've been having quite a difficult time raising myself out of bed and waking up chirpily at 6am in the dark mornings but today there was sleep! Lots of sleep! And when I woke up I felt like a properly qualified early bird again, singing and chirruping down the stairs and around the house.
Altar Served today. I had hoped it wouldn't be Ole Punch but then again, not all prayers can be answered. He was atrociously late, ran in about one minute to ten to fling on his alb. No prayers or prep at all- a very bad example. The girls are happy because it is half term and our glee was generally infectious.
Uncle Paul and Auntie Janet appeared- with PRAWN in tow- home from Uni for the weekend. His paperwork has come through at last so he's extremely happy about that, but then they were all happy as Uncle Paul has got a job! :) I'm terribly pleased for him, his garage shut at the beginning of the month and everyone lost their jobs 'cause of the recession and he was really dreading the idea of being on the dole (but then, doesn't everyone).
So there was a lot of luck around this weekend. I have a lot of plans for the coming week in my non-existent free time. I'm considering getting the train to southport to take Ad out on Tuesday afternoon but I can't decide whether the running around might kill me or not. If I didn't have the interview in the morning it'd be an easy choice. I also want to go to the Park and maybe Pickering's Pasture to get some nice autumn pictures.
Finally, I've signed up for NaNoWriMo again this year. Despite my success last year I'm still in a tizzy over it. More so as I realised my original plot was far, far too much like Midsomer Murders and thus could not be allowed. And would probably cause me to burnout because murder mysteries aren't often my thing at all. I'm very picky. I've joined the viddler group this year; procrastination ahoy! :) I'm hoping, too, to donate something to the charity this year but as money remains scarce I'm selling some stuff on ebay. I can't donate directly to a US based charity without listing on .com rather than .co.uk but I've decided that if I make enough profits on my outgoings, then I will donate the proceeds. Unfortunately the minimum donation comesout as just over £6 and out of my listings only one thus far has a bidder (an X Box game. The SIGNED Magneto comic? Nooooo. People are so strange.) and thus I'm nowhere near a £6 profit mark yet.
