I Am Obviously Related To Royalty!!
Tuesday, December 3rd, 2024 09:33 amI heard this morning that Queen Camilla is unable to attend an official function ... as she was in November. Both of which were due to an ongoing chest infection ... I know exactly what she feels like! I feel the bugs are chasing me round in circles ... I am going to try one more day of the cold/flu remedy and then if needed, will go back on the penicillin.
I felt pretty wiped out over the weekend, and basically worked Saturday evening and slept much of the rest of the time.
I ended up working for a few hours yesterday as a favour. Although when the carpark machines broke I did wonder why I had offered to do it! Normally in 4 hours I would clear about 50 cars for those with disabled badges, carers cards etc .... The last hour I was in I had to sort out over 100 cars ... I do wonder what everyone else did. It is an independent company, and as I usually say, they are not "user friendly"!!
As ever Christmas is even more muddled than normal. I haven't started writing cards etc ... but I am pretty sure I end up with a bit of a melt-down about this time every year and get myself organised in time.
30 Have you ever participated in a ‘Secret Santa’ (either at work or with your friends/family)?
N0 -never really been in a situation of knowing other workers well enough as I move around from shift to shift
1. Are you good at wrapping presents?
No - I can even argue with a book or a box!
2. Is there anything you don’t like but can’t bear to part with in your house?
There isn't enough space to list everything - I am a hoarder and have so much sentimental stuff.
For example - Granddad's (and my Great Uncle's) medal, Mum & Dad's wedding photos, clocks belonging to 2 of my great-grandfathers ... the list goes on.
I am wearing a ring that was first worn by my great-grandmother and I am the 4th generation.
3. In 1961 Dutchman Anton Geesink became the first non-Japanese judo world champion. Have you ever studied any martial arts?
I did Judo for 7 years ... Jack, my teacher, worked with the British #1's at the time. One great thing I did learn was how to fall correctly ... when I was run over at 21, and then falling off horses, including once when at gallop, I walked away without too serious an injury. Thanks Jack.
Right, let's get this posted ... will try and catch up with you all a bit later x
