A series of fortunate events

The past week has been very bizarre indeed…lots of exciting things have happened…

First up, this time last week I was about to fall of my bike, slam my head between my glasses and the floor, and go to A&E to be glued. My head still hurts a little and I think I have a black eye. It was alright really, looked worse than it is and it gave me some new cuts to pick, which was fun. The downside was that my glasses got run over – but again there is a slight funny side to that (and rather the glasses than me)

Then on Saturday Sam and I took a trip to Wolverhampton, where we met. We went to the pub/restaurant where we had our first date, the park where we first kissed and I proposed. I’ll save you all the details – those who want to know can ask. We did it all on public transport too – who ever said that cars where what boys needed to pick up woman, it’s clearly all about the bus…A very liberating day, one I will never forget and, if I don’t say so myself, panned out rather well…

Yesterday, I had an interview in a local secondary school for a Learning Support Assistant role. I really liked the school, and came away from the interview really wanting the job – usually in these things I’ve very indifferent. I spent the rest of the day in limbo, knowing I would be told later in the day if I got it, but knowing they had interview 4 or more others, all likely candidates. I couldn’t be bothered to fill out more applications as my heart wasn’t in it. Plus I was sharing the good news of Saturday, so was inundated with messages. Got a call at almost half 5 to offer me the job – Boom!! Just after the news that my sister had got her dream job at her local school too…dare I say it, but an answer to prayer…?

Throughout the week prospects have been moving forward on a potential house for Jo and Gary and family – one which may have to be ‘house sit’ for a few months. House buying is a long and slow mission but things are coming together very nicely…

So all in all, thumbs up
