I’ve been so busy this week! 0_o as you can tell from the relative radio silence…

The first 3 pics are from Valentine’s day. The first one was taken on my normal route to work. I had to get in early Thursday morning as I was out on site with some of our arboriculturalists to watch them do their thing and discuss safety. It was an early start and was a bit of a shock to the system as it was pretty chilly. I’ve taken a view of the church this morning as it was a bit gloomy and mysterious with the spire looking blue in the half-light.
The second pictures are the wonderful flowers my other half got delivered to my work. This is a BIG DEAL for me, as it’s the first time it’s ever happened to me. We don’t really “do” valentine’s day… not because I have any moral objection (commercialisation blah blah blah) but because it’s our anniversary on the 16 th February, which is a far bigger deal for us. I’m not very girly, but I went a bit high pitched and giggly – completely out of character for me! The second bouquet in the background are the “backup” flowers (gorgeous bright red tulips), just in case the first bunch didn’t turn up on time. What a sweety
Valentines ended up being a fabulous day, despite being in a car accident. The car accident was just a “bump,” but we were shunted quite a way. As I was in the back of the car, I bore the brunt of the force – but just ended up feeling a little jarred and quite sick from shock. The irony was, the accident occurred on the way to a safety inspection! When all were accounted for and the whole thing was resolved, we visited two sites to watch some of my colleagues plant some new trees. It’s fascinating (it is, honest!) to see all the processes they have to follow just to plant a small sapling in the path.
After that – I had Valentines card fun at work! The total (after each card being sold at a cost of 50p) was £110!!! What a whopping amount to come out of donations and card sales, eh? There were more than a few smiles and looks of surprise from the people on the 3 rd floor. A brilliant success and I look forward to an even bigger event next year!
Post-flower delivery, Dan picked me up and we quickly sorted our stuff out before heading out for a romantic valentines meal… to Wetherspoons. More for irony value than anything romantic – but actually had a pleasing and cheap meal before topping off my day with a trip to Cineworld to see Die Hard. Enjoyed the film, but didn’t think it was on a par with the first 3 or even 4.0. When we got home, I desperately needed to go to sleep…. YAY FOR ROMANCE!
Today, I have chosen a shot from closer to the top of Caroline Street than normal. It was lovely and light this morning (which you can see in the photo) and the sun came out for the majority of the morning. I am very proud of myself as I have made the first proper steps in arranging the wedding for next year and contacting our potential venue (a farm) to see if they are interested. I have also sent out the emails to people in regards to our charity Zumba session for the Children’s hospital. I am hoping this will be a big success and help us raise £25,000 for the hospital by the end of 2013.
Right – in a bit of a rush, so best get on! It’s all going on in my world at the moment!
