Woking

What a busy day........today I was woken to the sound of smashing bottles!!! No.........NOT the result of last nights drunks antics but the recycling cart tipping the streets recycling boxes! Fantastic that this is being done of course but I feel 6-30am is somewhat early?!?!?! I laid a while desperately searching the inside of my head for confirmation that my migraine was finally lifting.............sadly it was not. (Though now I am taking "Migralieve" I think there is some improvement at last?) A quick banana followed my "shower" before Mum and I headed to the station to catch a train to Woking.

I love Woking! I always have, always will...............so many memories............many painful...........many happy..............The shoppings good too!!!!!! Spent far more than I should have on "work clothes" so I can look "the part" when I return to Singapore and my new job on Monday. I was amazed at the choices to be had here......so many items in so many colours, shades, sizes, designs, cuts. lengths etc etc! I was also amazed at the prices! SO EXPENSIVE! I am relying on the fact that you "get what you pay for" and that I shall be wearing these "good quality" items well in to the future?! Shoes were a problem - far too high for this old lady!!!!

Have had problems getting much for the children (no, not because I have spent all my money on ME!!!) There isn't really that much worth getting for them. Did however buy Heather the most beautiful dress covered in delicate little lemon roses.....I can't wait to see her wearing it. I got a couple of tiny things for Amy too but I am not giving the game away as far as thats concerned as she'll read this blog ;-) Frazer however has been difficult to buy for so I amy have to take him for a shopping trip when I get "back home". Cousin Norman was met at 2-30pm and spent the next 3+ hours retracing just about everything he has ever learned/experienced over his 79 years of life....................all very interesting as I am sure you will understand but not so healthy for migraines ;-)

Back now in Haslemere the man two houses up is burning rubbish again - has been every night since I've been here.............the smoke is vile................The gammons is the oven and Dads just picked a sprig of mint from the garden to go in the new potatoes (I do hope the dog hasn't "watered" the plant".

Got to work out what I can leave in the UK and what I can pack tomorrow - was over my allowance on the way here so heavens help me on the return leg!

Miss my family and friends so much...............

Love you all
