Just had a rather cracking weekend which involved a group of us checking out some of the sights of Ferguson Valley, a local wine region, which is also home to a nice brewery and Gnomesville (a very eerie place on the side of a road which started from one guy leaving his gnome there, then slowly others decided to bring their own, and now there seem to be thousands). I had planned a little bbq on the Saturday night but ended up having quite a few people over, with more sausages than you could shake a stick at, and thanks to Mario we had pancakes! He brought the batter ingredients and I managed to dig out some cream, strawberries and crumbled meringues, which I had left over from earlier in the week. Yum :)
Molly, the new cat, is officially a schizophrenic, and decided she didn't want to be brought inside after escaping into the garden, so she took it out on me. Hence the lovely scratch down my face. Then to add insult to injury, on the Swim Tour the next day the wind picked up and blew the spongey boat seat square into my face, and as I was wearing sunglasses I got an almighty thwack and now have a lovely bruise on the bridge of my nose. I seem to be going for the 'beaten-up' look at the moment, which I can only imagine raised a few eyebrows at my employment agency interview today.
Well, there's not really much else to report re the dreaded 'j-o-b' word, aside from a minor victory in the passing of the first stage of an application for a retail travel consultant. Most encouraging development so far! Next step, a telephone interview. Through one of my networking events I heard about a small group of people who are organising a regional event called SW Games 2010, and visiting one of the 2 co-ordinators today there is so much in disarray, it looks like I'll be volunteering a fair bit of my time (while I can) to sort it out. I am just incapable of saying 'no' to a challenge!
