A life less ordinary....

As I was walking along my local high street and past the local Clarks, who should I see coming out but James McAvoy and his wife.  Not two minutes later, I'm at the lights waiting for the 'green' man when Clive Owen crosses in front of me and goes into the local Starbucks.

Just another ordinary day in my local neighbourhood.

New sensation

Over the last couple of months, I have noticed a change happening on my placement.

I am starting to be seen as if I am a real professional and not simply a student.

I had my second observation a couple of weeks ago and my assessor commented that the service users looked to me as the working professional.

Today, I had an interview for some additional volunteering and came away feeling as if I might be able to contribute something.

I am building the bricks to expand my potential network for a career path.

This is new and strange territory for me.

Very exciting stuff.

Silent Sunday - can you guess where I was?

Not so silent sunday Mother's Day...

I was woken up rather too early today by two very loud little girls.

My daughter had her best friend staying over last night.  Both girls slept well but my guess is that they woke up at the crack of dawn.

I was aware of them opening my door periodically, checking to see if I was awake yet.

My daughter's friend is lovely but VERY loud.

There was no way I was getting a lie in this morning.

When I went out to the living room, they had prepared Mother's Day cards, breakfast (albeit soggy cereal) and a couple of presents.  It was so touching.

I had not expected any of this.  It was really lovely.

This little note and the heart rug were strategically placed for me to find/trip over.

Silent Sunday

Silent Sunday on fire
