...And I'm absolutey knackered.

I had an interview at work today for a promotion, which I think went well. I'll find out about it next week, so fingers crossed for me. Had to go and buy a suit in a big panic on wednesday after work as I realised (during a deathly boring training course) that my current one and only presentable suit was in fact 8 years old and didn't fit any more. So that'll be going to the charity shop then (as I really need to sort out my wardrobe cos I can't fit any more clothes in it!).

So I now own a brown suit. And I look really funny in it. Had I not got changed when I got home I would have posted a picture. I never have to wear business dress to work which is great, and I'm a bit of a scruffy bugger really, so I felt like I was dressing up to go to work. Might wear my pirate costume to work next week for the hell of it :ph34r:

At work every employee is allowed one paid "environment day" each year. On monday our team went to a local primary school to help them make a nature garden. We laid bark paths, made raised beds, a compost area, painted the gate and the picnic benches and cut back all the hedges. It looked great when we'd finished, and what an excellent thing to get to do instead of doing a "proper" day's work :( I'm such a weaking tho - I really couldn't do a manual job like that for a living - I was knackered after about 20 mins of shovelling!

We bought a great board game called Carcassonne and played that on wednesday night. If you've ever played civilisation then it's a bit like that - really good fun, except we got a little over zealous with placing our men around the city. We'll know not to be so keen next time tho :O

Our lovely housemate moved out on wednesday which was rather sad :( The house is feeling somewhat empty at present, so I think we should get someone else to move in soon. She's doing really well for herself and has got a the job she wanted following her graduating from her postgrad course.

In other news....

We're thinking of going to Thimbleberry in september - looking forward to that.

Made a most excellent coffee and walnut cake.

Have been mostly listening to Madonna this week.

We've definately decided that we're going to thimbleberry - hurrah! We can't stay on sunday night tho cos craig has to be in work at 6am on monday morning, but apart from that it's all systems go for some crazy cold camping.

Am gonna try and talk a few more efesters into going, and a good few of my friends are more than likely coming as well :)

Oooh - carcassone - I've got that! It's very good. The best way to score is having the fields.

I've got an add on with some farmers in it too - and my friend has an add on with a princess and a dragon (I think)

I'll remember that for next time, thanks. The game I got came with a free rivers expansion, although I think we will stick to playing with just the original set until we get the hang of the strategy.
