'Ello

Haven’t posted for a few days as I’ve been busy getting sorted after my holiday. Everything seems manic and I can’t get used to UK time, I feel sleepy at midday and wide wake at midnight (ok that’s always the case but it’s even worse than normal!)

Yesterday I met the Sherwood’s relief landlord, Gary. He seems really nice (mind it’s early days) but Steve told me I’d get on with him and so I think he’ll be fine. He’s going to be running the pub for 2 weeks while Steve is on a well-deserved holiday to Goa. Iain is back from holiday and back into suspension, although I believe he is back at the pub. hard to tell as he's not allowed to go into the bar, so at least I don't have to see him (hopefully never again!). I also met 2 of the new staff (Steve has employed loads of people in the last week so we’re fully staffed for the first time since Fred & June left!). Vicky has come back, although we won’t be working together. Sharon is now working with me at weekends and Tracey is working in the kitchen (that won’t be confusing will it!). The good news is that she can cook! The food takings are already on the increase as word is getting round that the food is edible again. Good news for me too as I can stop cooking again at weekends *LOL*

While I was working I introduced the pub to My Chemical Romance instead of the pap that’s usually playing. I found that the album is now on the jukebox (I was annoyed that when Black Parade was No. 1 it wasn’t in the Top Twenty list) and each track is only 50p. I treated the pub to ‘Welcome to the Black Parade’, ‘Cancer’, ‘Disenchanted’ and ‘Famous Last Words’ as I only had £2. Today they may get the whole album. I'm sure it'll be just as popular with everyone as Radiohead's OK Computer was *LOL*

I have finally completed Dolly’s Scanned Heads CJ. I will post a picture of the layout after I know she’s received it back (posting on Tuesday Dolly). Now I just have to get the latest Discworld one completed and I’ll be ready to get on with the cyber crop challenges. No idea why but I bought the Gryffindor mystery kit so I suppose I’ll have to at least have a go at that and the pre-crop challenge. No swaps though – nowhere near organised enough for that! I have been made a prefect and so I’m also having to think of some house challenges, very hard for a bear of little brain like me … all idea gratefully received!
