Long Weekends...

It's the way forward!!! Just working 3 days this week - it's my boyfriend's birthday on Friday so we're taking his son to Alton Towers for a couple of days. Week-long holidays are over-rated - with 20 days holiday you could work 4 days a week for half the year. Not sure if anyone's ever found a boss who would accomodate that...

I'm soooo bored of everyone complaining about the weather. Apart from everything I'm living on the North East coast which means we get immense sea breezes (gales more like). It's nice, but I kinda miss that really hot, sticky, muggy city heat from when I lived in London.

And what is it about the British which makes us unable to cope? You don't hear about the roads in Saudi Arabia melting? Or the trains system in Spain falling apart? Warmer weather is here to stay, and we can't just feign surprise every year.

And still people complain from the comfort of their gas-guzzling cars that are contributing to global warming, believing that there's nothing they can do and that it's not going to affect them. Wake up people - it is ALREADY affecting you!!!
