not quite the ending I was hoping for

So, here it is our last day off before we're back to work tomorrow, and it's just my luck that I seem to have caught a little summer cold. Thought it was a hayfever attack from sitting outside amongst all the flowers yesterday, when surely the pollen count must be up right now, but since it's continued on to this morning, along with a dodgy stomach, I think it must be a bit more than just allergies. So here it is, a beautiful sunny day, our last day of freedom, and I don't know how much enjoyment I'll get out of it, unless I suddenly start feeling better as the day goes on. I mean, I'm glad I'm not working today while I'm feeling like this, but still, it feels like such a waste of a day. Stupid cold.

I'm just sad to see our holiday time come to an end. A week ago this time I was sat drinking my coffee and reading in front of a lovely sea view. Time always goes so fast when you're having fun. And last summer I had all that time up until the end of July, where my time was my own so I always had time with Adam. Now we don't have many days off together, and we haven't had nearly as much sunshine this year as we did last. I wish it was just easier for us to have days out together. I wish I felt better today so I could enjoy this one.

*sigh*

it's always sunny in Scarborough

Four days can really go fast when you're having fun. Just back from Scarborough, which I'm happy to say was a lot sunnier than we expected, and hardly rained on us at all. Lots of walking around, playing by the sea, good food, good drinks, good laughs, and of course good photos, which really tells the story best, sooo...

The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of De-feet

So, I've made it to my holiday time, which has actually gone from 9 days to 11 days off in a row, no complaints from me :) well, my only complaint has been that my feet are hurting again, to the point where they let me go home an hour early last night. I was hoping that I just have to get used to my new shoes, which should be comfy enough, but then I've figured out that the problem is with the way I'm standing, putting my weight on the balls of my feet instead of my heels, which is apparently wrong. But I think I've always done that, as anytime I've ever had sore feet it's always been the balls of my feet and not my heels. So I don't really know how to correct that problem, but I don't see being able to carry on with the level of pain that I'm having.

Anyways, for now I can put my feet up and enjoy the next week and a half. The weather doesn't seem like it's going to give us many reasons to spend a lot of time outside, but for better or worse, we're off to Scarborough on Sunday for four days. Today I've got some time to myself while Adam works till mid-afternoon. Right now I'm trying to decide if I feel like popping to the shops for a wander around. Guess we'll see what I feel like doing after I have a little brunch and coffee. Can't make decisions without coffee, LOL ;) and especially if it keeps raining, I might just feel more like staying in with my Kindle. I'm halfway through A Dance with Dragons, and I don't know what I'll do with my obsession once I finish, and have who knows how long of a wait till we see Book 6. Guess I'll try to get into another story in the meantime.

 Adam introduced me to uwall.tv tonight. Working on my own playlist, to reflect my mood as I'm reading the Song of Ice and Fire series. Don't have many songs yet, but it's a work in progress :)
