**fog**

I got off the bus this morning, and started walking down the hill towards my work, looking up I saw a wall of white just behind the market at the bottom of the hill, I could see any of the buildings, houses or the churches through the fog blanket. It was neat, haven’t seen a good fog for ages. I love idea of it, how it can hide things in plain sight, give the air a dampness which for some reason reminds me of swamps and old bookstores. I hear about the ‘mists on English moors’ from novels and films and would love to see if they are impressive as they make them out to bed.

Spent most of this morning till about 12:45 doing fire warden training. My boss isn’t here today and she was supposed to go on it. So I got to be the replacement. It was really interesting just to learn a little bit more about fire exstinshures and stuff like that. Bit scary too. We watched a DVD about a fire that broke out at a football club in England in March 1985. 5 minutes it took for an old modern grandstand to be engulfed in flames. 54 people died. Terrible. Made me a bit more aware about a few things too. Though however, because I lost half the day I’m behind in my work. I know it’s Friday and things can wait until Monday. I feel bad that I haven’t got anything done.

My lunch really isn’t agreeing with me at all today. I’ve had a light stomach ache all day. But now after eating lunch it’s really gotten worse. That’ll teach me for eating fish pie again I suppose. I guess it doesn’t help that I’m sitting at my desk drinking diet coke and snacking on Eskimo lollies, which are in my desk draw and they are soooooooo good!.... I have three standing on my desk, nothing but their legs left. One in each colour, trying to decide which flavour I like best…. At the moment I’m leaning towards the yellow flavoured ones, (cause they taste like those banana lollies of the same texture) but they red is coming a close second. See what happens when I’m left to my own devices (my boss is away ill, and her boss is in a day long meeting…) but yeah today is dragging and I’m just so tired and unmotivated this afternoon, I really hate losing half my day; I’m one of those people who are not a huge fan of change. So I guess that explains it.

Supposed to be going out tonight. No idea what to wear. Really not feeling excited about it right this second, hopefully once I finish work (in two hours… this day is just dragging on something terrible) I will change my mind. Might go out and treat myself to a new top. Can’t really afford it, but hey, who needs to eat right?

Oh and happy international star wars day… “May the 4th be with you!!” ha-ha. Terrible I know but I couldn’t help it. (Please don’t confuse this with other international days like ‘talk like a pirate day’ and international coffee day, as my friend did when I emailed her just now)

I started with the weather so I suppose it is fitting to end with it also. It has shaped up rather nice. The sun is out in force, it’s hot and warm. Am really looking forward to going home in it! Bring on 4pm
