curiouswombatLife at the moment seems to be work, shop, eat, sleep, work...
The pictures for the week tend to reflect this - a couple of them were simply taken out of the car window as I drove between patients at work, or was pulled up outside a shop to get milk!
Monday - this is simply taken when I got out of the car about 6pm on my way home from work. This is where I often park the car - yes - on the double yellow lines up the street...! The traffic wardens finish at 5pm, and the police seem to realise that we, as a street, do not have enough room to park when we are all home. Aren't the flowers in the near garden lovely? It is always colourful.
Tuesday - it was a rather wet day. Not a good day to be a tram horse... The horse trams run the couple of miles length of the promenade in the summer - but in years gone by they ran all year around, I think, which is why they have a couple of 'closed' trams. The manager obviously expected it to be wet all day, which it was, as they had got one of the closed trams out on Tuesday.
I rather like the way I have caught the horse with all feet off the ground. (A picture of a more usual horse tram can be seen here.)
Wednesday - shopping on the way home from work - even the car park of the supermarket looks nice in the sunshine -
Sorry about the pole up the middle - it didn't even occur to me at the time - I was a bit zombie-ish!
Thursday - a visit to a government run older persons' residential home in the south of the island - this is the entrance to Southlands - it has wings out to either side of this central area, but I would have had to stood in the road outside to capture more of it!
Friday - a 'grab the camera and shoot out of the window' moment - I had to stop to let this family cross the road in front of me - not a terribly clear picture, but it gives you the idea!
Saturday - I spent Saturday working too. I usually work Monday to Friday, but we are still monitoring any possible cases of H1N1 swine flu, swabbing them individually to confirm whether they really do have it, and taking the tamiflu out individually from a central supply; I have been the nurse doing this for the whole island for the last couple of Saturdays. It is quite tiring, but mainly because I don't get a lie-in, and don't have time to do my usual Saturday stuff. This Saturday one of the cases was in the far north of the island and I took the shortest route - through one of my favourite places - Tholt-y-Will and Sulby Glen.
You really can't feel too harassed and hassled when you drive down this road...
I finished about 5pm, and went straight from dropping off samples at the path lab to doing my shopping. So at least I didn't have to go shopping today before we could eat - which happened last weekend!
D-d was camping with friends last night, S2C was at work, neither were around when I sat out in the garden to eat my lunch and read -
Tesco's sushi, home-made smoothy, The two Towers (I'm reading all the Faramir stuff carefully...). Note pebble holding book open - D-d and I both read out there, the pebbles are kept on the table for that very purpose.
If I'd turned the camera around a bit you would have seen that I also had a full line of washing out. There is something quite satisfying about a line of clothes in a warm breeze!
This week is going to be busy, too. I am teaching other nurses for two full days - and I still haven't printed out the handouts!
I'm doing flu-duty this Saturday, too. But then no more for at least two weeks! Squee! And it will be WriterCon UK!
Hmm - I have a talk to do for that yet, too... although putting that together will be fun, rather than hard work!
