Short post after a long weekend


I’ve reached the end of another long weekend. A great, well needed rest, I must say, but the time has, once again, passed by a little too quickly for my liking.

I finished work at lunchtime on Friday, and had also booked today off so I could coincide my break with my birthday. I haven’t done anything spectacular, but enjoyed it just the same.

One thing I did do… I got my hair cut! Yes! At long last, that severe flick at the back has gone. My hair is now fantastic (once again!), and kind of on the ruffled spiky side which I like. It makes my face look longer, and I am very pleased with it. The way it was before, it hid most of my face – OK, over-exaggeration there, but it was just about to… One thing I am looking forward to, with my short hair, is the time it takes me to get ready in the morning. I have given myself an extra half an hour (at least!) now to do other things, rather than messing about trying to get my hair into some kind of decent shape. Now, it’s a case of wash – dry – done! Yippee!

So, yesterday was my New Year’s Day. Tomorrow will be my Monday. Which kind of makes today Sunday, January 2nd which it so isn’t. I know one thing for certain – I’ll be well and truly confused tomorrow in work. But that is hardly anything new workwise anyway… I think I can cope with an extra Monday feeling. Especially if it is a good Monday feeling, as per the other week! And on the plus side, I only have to work four days until it is the weekend again!

Of course, there is always the chance that I’ll win big on the lottery this week, which will mean that my weekend will come a little earlier. I may go in for another week or so, to train someone else to do my job (even though I never received any training myself, I wouldn’t want to leave the company completely in the lurch…) and then I’ll look for a new mansion, a yacht, a harp and I’ll treat myself to some other thing or two. But, until then, I’ll go to work and continue to try to break things.

Coincidentally, I may win on the Premium Bonds as well. I’ve had some for umpteen years, and may have won before, I’m not sure. I think I’m dreaming there though. My dreams are very realistic though!

I’m a winner if I don’t win the lottery or the Premium Bonds though. I’ve got a fantastic hair cut! And that, tops me – and my weekend – off nicely!

    A good short haircut works best, it’s amazing how much you’ll appreciate it in the morning. If you’re anything like me it’ll give you time for an extra mug of coffee before you have to face the world. Now, how do I get rid of the burden that is shaving without having to have a beard? 😀

      I didn’t know what to do with myself this morning, Trevor! I had plenty of time. Even with having to shave – which I could do without too. I’ll see if I can tap into the scientific inventor side of me and come up with an invention that will alleviate shaving forever more!

    As long as the hair cut wasn’t like Justine Bieber (or however you spell his name) ! Spiky haircuts are cool (on someone else’s head of course) always reminds me of a hedgehog! hehehe! 😉

      No, Shree, my haircut is neither like the Bieber person’s or a hedgehog, I’m pleased to say! Nor is it like a pineapple, which it was the last time I had it cut! 😀

      I am receiving some unflattering comments from my colleagues at work about my hair though. It looks good though, so I can’t blame them for being consumed with jealousy! 😉

    I won , I won..(Thunderball £10 but it was a win!!) … geeez!! IF do handstands for £10 what’ll I do for the £500,000. win eh? You’ll have to take my word for the fact of the handstand and the ER hospital nurses!! 😀 …. Hair cuts are good, lift the spirits like nothing else can (um..other than a lottery win, or premium bond win…or horses? ten to one on something or other) … anyway, still saying belated Happy Birthday, and who’s a cool dude? (you!!!) …xPenx

      Well done you, Lady Pen! 😀
      There’s no difference in the feeling – I won £100,000.00 remember? I know exactly what it feels like! You will still jump for joy in exactly the same way – only you’ll be able to find different places to do the jumping! 😀
      I don’t tend to win on the horses – so don’t bother with them. I love riding them though (even though I’ve only attempted it a couple of times…).
      And thanks again for the belated birthday wishes!
