Title: Is there something about today?
Post by: Lizmar on August 12, 2009, 02:18:34 pm
Can someone please tell me if they are having 'one of those days'.  I am at work yes well that is always a bit touch and go, but today all my staff are up in arms about something or other and am having to call an urgent meeting to sort.  Had a row with my daughter this morning cos she was losing the plot, all my network links with the US have gone down so waiting for them to get into work (5 hours difference) Another member of staff has just fainted - on a diet!!!! The plumber has just rang me to say though he has started a job for me i.e. left all his materials in my bathroom, he can't get back for a week!!

ITS ONLY 2.15pm  -   What else will go wrong?

Apologies - home at 5.30 and a very large glass of something that won't be good for me, but I will like it!

I think we all have "one of those days" now and again. Loook on the bright side , it could yet get even worse.
Or on the other hand, look forward to a nice sit down and a glass of whatever this evening. :) :bouquet:

I think it might be the day. Got up to the farm this morning to find we had absoluetly no water anywhere (private supply) after eventually getting the pump fixed and the fire brigade to top up the main reservoir tanks we finally managed to get the chores done and then start turning the hay.  all a bit of a kerfuffle

Is it anything to do with the Perseid Shower? I'm going to watch it tonight if there is no sea mist.

it is meant to be the best night tonight Ree....

It is a meteor shower Annie !! happens every year about this time . Anything from a day or so to a week or more....I have watched this every year since I was a kid , apart from cloudy times .  If the sky is clear tonight , take a look up .... you may see one or two shooting stars or you may see hundreds , some are huge  !!

just the usual sort of day with teens  ::) and crazy drivers on the Fife coastal roads. Had a lovely lunch cooked for by a friend, so I am not complaining! Will go out to look at the sky tonight, was too tired last night  :&>
