Hiya from Scotland - apologies for not blogging sooner. But what can you do when you cannae get to a computer?!
I am 100% fine, and my thanks to all who were a step away from phoning Scotland Yard because of my long absence from blogland and/or email world.
I am still unemployed and starting to get rather testy about the whole situation. I am about to apply for 3 jobs, one of which is in (gulp) finance. RJ from work will appreciate the irony in that one. But the finance job involves working with a multinational organisation where I'd be hired for my French & Italian skills. Ahem.
The house we are staying is beautiful, and in a quiet lane of only 4 other houses, bordered on either side by rhubarb fields. Normally I wouldn't have recognised a rhubarb plant if it smacked me in the face. Now I am quite comfortable with it and was even contemplating earning some quick cash by picking it when harvest time is ready. That's right friends, I was going to do manual labour for cash. That's how dire this situation is.
But I have drunk more tea in the past fortnight than is probably good for me. I have also started saying "aye" but am drawing the line at saying "wee". In any case, I can't say that without giggling just yet.
Take heart that things are good with me. I am happy and feeling good. I hope that next time I blog (from here at the Johnstone library), I will have good news on the employment front.
Love to all - hope you Adelaide folk enjoyed the Adelaide Cup Day public holiday.
Till next time xox

Your momma almost had a cardiac arrest ..... manual labour ..... you????? We couldn't even get you to evict the cockies from your room at home. Granny will like the fact that you're taking after her .... in the fields, turning sods, picking rhubarb. Hope your wearing knee-high gum boots and a scarf around your head. Cheers xxx
