I wonder how long you have to be retired for days NOT to have a specific meaning?
I don't work often and I certainly don't work full time but it felt very odd to be working on a Saturday. Saturdays have never been work days for me. It is stupid. I haven't worked since July yet it felt odd to be doing to work on a Saturday. saturday is the weekend. I am meant to be playing at the weekend!
Anyway, I was invigilating for Year 6 pupils doing CAT tests today. That is something more in my comfort zone. I 'get' Year 6 and I know all about CAT assessments. I also clocked 7500 steps int he assessment so it meant I could chill and scrap when I got home.
I have made a couple of pages so far about our day at Friendsfestbut I do feel a mini book coming on
This is the iconic couch scene and yes, we were shouting PIVOT!
and I really really struggled with this page as I found the strong yellow and purplish blue very hard to match and work with
Both pages were made for GoGo challenges. I only have one more challenge left to do so am quite chuffed with that.
Yesterday we went to see King of Thieves - the film about the Hatton Garden Robbery. It was just about OK but I don't think it was the finest hour for any of the actors. Michael Gambon was poor, Michael Caine is always the same in my eyes no matter what the film, don't like Paul Whitehouse but Jim Broadbent and Ray Winstone were better. I can't say I recommend it - one to wait for the TV to show it I think.
Today I am thankful for
- lunch on the balcony when I came home
- scrappy time
- painkillers - no idea what is going on with my body at the moment but everything aches - hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, wrists and fingers. My fingers are actually quite swollen on the joints!
