I’m having a most un–romantic Valentine’s
Day.
Highlights so far include a visit from a
removal man to give me a quote, three rejections from Woman’s Weekly, backing
up my word files on to a memory stick and my weekly crossword class.
Yesterday was strange too. I had to go to Manchester for an
audition for the quiz show, ONLY CONNECT which is my all time favourite show. Early
in the morning it started chucking down the snow By the time I had to leave
there was a couple of inches and I really don’t like walking in snow. I decided
to be brave and walked to the station in the blizzard, managing to stay upright
which was good. I got to Manchester Piccadilly early where I met up with the
other two team members. Getting from there to the audition proved more
difficult. To cut a long story short we got there five minutes late (which I hate),
but they were running late so we didn’t get seen until fiveish. The actual audition
went well, apart from the connecting wall where we scored zero, nothing, zilch.
I’d put some of the questions on here but that wouldn’t be fair as they are
holding auditions up and down the country.
Afterwards it took another age to get back
to Piccadilly, I forgot to pick up my umbrella, then the trains came to a stop
due to signal failures meaning I was more than an hour late getting into Leeds. I didn’t fancy my
chances of getting home after the Spice quiz as the centre of Leeds was in chaos so instead
of having a nice meal and a leisurely stroll to the4 quiz, I grabbed an
expensive sandwich and joined the queue for the taxi which was 20 minutes long.
By the time I got in I was worn out. That said,
I did meet a lovely lady on the train. We chatted non–stop from Manchester to Huddersfield which was great.
My course at Weetwood Hall having been cancelled
I now have more room in my diary to fit my move into. All I need now are some
dates from the solicitors….
Tomorrow a man is due to bring my new
computer. I’m both excited and scared. My pc is both my life line and my most
important tool. For more than a year it’s been driving me even more mad than I
am already with its slowness and general unreliability but I couldn’t face
doing anything about it. Of course now it comes to replacing it, I really wish
I’d done it months ago because then it would all be over…
