At Last!!!!

Wednesday, 7pm

Thought for the Day - Isn't it unfortunate that the word lisp has an 's' in it?

Pug Status - Wishing there was more left-over spaghetti bolognese

Put up the bunting, let the relatives know by a change of Facebook status, and run to the off-licence for a cheap bottle of Cava - after ten long months of trying someone has finally been brave (foolish?) enough to offer me a job!!! I think polishing up the old CV helped considerably - a nice clean car makes a great first impression at interviews....

It is an exciting new position, utilising all of my finely-honed librarian and information skills, with a company based in Oxford. A fair way to drive each day but at least I will have the pleasure of listening to Hertbeat Breakfast every morning in the car (until just past Hemel Hempstead anyway). I was more concerned about my personal welfare in the city itself to be honest - it used to have a terrible crime rate. There was one murder a week in Oxford in the late 1980s and 1990s, and always at about 9pm on a weekend. Luckily, they all seemed to be cleared up in about a couple of hours, by that Inspector Morse fellow....

Working again will mean no more afternoon walks for Obi Pug Kenobi - I will have to be out of the house nice and early and she is already crotchety that her routine will be disrupted. Some people consider their dogs to be like their children - I think our Princess Pug will just like Kevin the Teenager when I try to get her out of bed before 7am for a brisk trot around the block....
