It never Rains......

Lots going on

Again I find myself with less and less time to update my blog. I had hoped I would be able to change the 'weekly' question by now. At this rate it is going to be turning into a yearly one!

Still like I said a lot of things have happened since the last writing. to sum up,

I have been away to Wales for the night.

Been given a notice of Redundancy.

Had my 42 birthday.

Seen my sisters for the first time in 2 years.

Oh and had a ball making a snowman with the kids

So like I said quite a bit going on, the Wales trip was a pain, as it turned out I didn't have to do that much really, but I must have some sort of reaction when I stay in Travel Lodges (The equivelent of a Days Inn in the States). When I stayed in one in Manchester I had to get evacuated as there was a gas smell, we finally got back into the hotel at aroung 1 in the morning. Then in Wales I was woken up by the fire alarm going off at 2:30am. This time it was a test of the alarms from the night club next door! Yeah great time to test lads!

The notice of Redundency was going, but it hasn't been fully implemented yet, as they are still unsure on the 1 person they want to get rid of, although everything points to yours truely.

42nd (god I feel old!) went without the hint of a party, but I did get myself a decent digital camera - Fuji Finepix 610, reduced from £299 to £60!

I saw my sister at my nans for 1/2 an hour after working, and my other sister and her new boyfriend at Easter, as she came to see me.

So that is pretty much that, hopefully I will be back to normal soon with some nice quizes and weekly questions...who knows???

Time at Last!

Keeping Busy!!!

Well I have finally managed to grab a bit of time and update my blog. Hard to believe that in my old job, I could update the blog twice a week. I did think I would be able to do it just as often with this new job, but well.... twas not to be.

Now I came back on Friday from one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed in, the Marriott Jordan Valley, in Jordan.
Left the UK Wednesday 28th February, and got to the hotel at around 10:30pm. Luckily for me it was the very hotel I was installing the fragrance machines in. As I arrived late at night I didn't really get a chance to take in the fact that I was at the Lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea.
But the following morning, after spending a few hours (5 at the most!), getting the job done, I managed to get some pool time, and we are talking luxury here. The place had 4 resturaunts including a truely aythentic Italian. Now I absolutely love Italian food, so that was the perfect place to eat lunch.

The other surprising thing about Jordan though, is just how free it is, women don't have to cover up, the internet is unrestricted, and the mini-bar in my room was FULLY stocked with beer and spirits.
To top things of the weather was fab, such a pity then I had to get up at 3:30am to get to the Airport Friday morning!

Hopefully, I will post a couple of pictures soon to show some of the luxury I enjoyed!
