Yes I am a doofus

so thank you commenter for the kind correction of my terrible mistake in my posting yesterday... I should have cited...

'it was the best of times it was the worst of times' is Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities

If you're looking for me I'm in the corner sitting there wearing my dunce cap.

Now its not only clear that I'm in a rut but also that I've never read the book...

A book that I have just however read which I finished in the wee hours of last night was the 'Book Thief' what a brilliant book. Of course I cried at the end but that's not much a surprise is it? Thank you again to the lovely Andrea for sending it over to me. To say I devoured it would be an understatement.

Back to job searching I'm afraid... crossing this many fingers and toes is quite challenging especially when one is trying to type.

Its really not been that peachy lately...

Thus perhaps the lack of posting... Its always a challenge to keep up writing when you're feeling a bit low as it seems to verge on the wingeing rather that the reflective... just me then? Nee mind... Amidst the wash of so many of my friends struggling with relationship break downs (long term ones) and other with broken limbs we lumber on with our employment searches and it all just jumbles in together... Boil it down to the fact that everyone has their own problems so although they are all different struggles, they are struggles nonetheless. Lucky for us however my mum has been our total saving grace through our testing time. I am so so greatful!

Beyond the grey skies the sun is blasting down here in Barcelona and its hot hot hot... The little one is keeping us smiling by being... well being her. Yesterday while devouring a piece of watermelon with of course much help from Lilli dog, it reminded me how lucky we really are. I feel like its kind of like the begining to war and peace... it was the best of times it was the worst of times...
