Once again I’m playing catch up. The days seem to be going by so fast I don't seem to have time to blog any more let alone anything else (nope still not done any of Product Playground).
So here it is another whistle stop tour round my week …
Wednesday evening - Lynne and I went to see the Dreamgirls at the Odeon in Chatham Maritime. I’ve been to this cinema a few times now and am impressed by it, mainly because its’ so quiet I think. People haven’t yet discovered it and as it’s so new it's a pleasant place to spend an evening. The film was absolutely brilliant. To be honest, I wasn’t really sure I wanted to see it (although Kev had given it a good review) but I am really glad I did. A fantastic ‘proper’ musical and Jennifer Hudson is completely amazing – that woman has the most fantastic voice and she’s a great actress too (and thoroughly deserves the Oscar that she won last night!). Even Eddie Murphy is fantastic. If you haven’t seen it yet you really must go – definitely the best film I’ve seen in ages.
Thursday evening - Andrew and I went for our meal at Soufflé. It was lovely and the food was superb. I had mushroom ravioli, followed by fillet of beef with girolle mushrooms, whilst Andrew had scallops and black pudding followed by Barbary duck. I ended with a dessert of raspberries on a lemon meringue with grand marnier sabayon which was sweet, but not too sweet – the perfect ending to the meal. The wine was nice, good quality but not overly expensive – all in all a very pleasant evening. The restaurant was very nice, and much busier than I had expected, there seemed to be quite a few other people celebrating their birthdays too.
Friday evening - I made some headway on bedroom contents. Problem is I’m getting rid of so much that the lounge is still half full of items waiting for a new home that I don't want to just dump back in the bedroom again. Still haven’t decided what I’m going to do with all these items (throwing them away is not an option) but hopefully by the end of this week my lounge will be sorted too. Then I just have to retrieve my stuff from Lynne’s place and go through that and I’ll be sorted for a while.
It has been confirmed that the guy who came to look at the pub last week has taken it. I believe his name is Mark and he should be starting in about 6 week’s time. Don’t know why but I don't have a good feeling about him – maybe it was just the rudeness when he came last time, perhaps he’ll be lovely when he takes over.
I’ve had the worst PMT this weekend that I’ve had in absolutely ages. I was ready to kill several customers yesterday at the pub and my mood is generally very black. I can feel depression creeping up like a big storm cloud ready to engulf me. I seem to veer all the time between pure red rage and tears at the slightest thing (or worse still both at the same time). I am very unhappy at work at the moment which really doesn’t help (although I’m not sure to what extent my mood has made me unhappy), but I shouldn’t be feeling this bad, even with that dreaded time of the month. Of course the full moon is on its way which never helps, but that’s not till the weekend so even that doesn’t account for the way I feel at the moment (I really hope I feel better by then or watch out world!). I spend most of my day trying to hold back an urge to just scream, smash things up and burst into tears. I really hope I snap out of it soon, I’m becoming no fun to live with and probably not a very good friend to have at the moment either.
