Trying to get caught up with things...

Dear Diary,

The month of October has started off a bit damp but otherwise, pretty good.

Colin dropped me off at work Monday morning and then drove five hours to Galway in the Republic of Ireland for a new installation from start to finish. Unfortunately, this would take him away from home for the week but after a week of long hours and getting the job done , he arrived safely home on Friday evening at about 9:30 p.m. All three of his girls were happy to see him home again...

With Colin being gone, my week was a bit of a bore but the good news is that I passed my six-month probation at work on Monday morning and I am officially full-time permanent at L'Estrange and Brett and should soon be receiving my very dull and matronly blue uniform. Oh, happy days, as they like to say in Belfast! At least once I do get it, I won't have to worry about what to wear in the morning, will I?

Oh yes, very important, our road has it's first layer of tarmac which means I no longer have to walk in the mud to get to the bus stop. Woohoo!

Dear Diary, you are now caught up with the month of October.
