Five on Friday

Well hello it seems like a long time since I blogged and I suppose it is, there is quite a lot going on both at home and at work at the moment so I have been just a bit preoccupied and trying to actually gather my thoughts to do a blog post has been quite beyond me so I thought I would join in with Amy's Five on Friday to give a little update on what's been going on....

I Enjoyed..
 A weeks holiday in benidorm with my family, it went so fast it now seems like I was never there, unfortunately it rained quite a bit in fact nearly every day! but it was still warm, the hotel was lovely as was the food and I enjoyed long walks along the promenade nearly every day, here are just a few of the many photo's I took...

Our hotel was so beautiful at night it changed colour from blue to all the colours of the rainbow and can be seen for miles.

Sunrise as seen from my balcony

Lots of yummy desserts all the food was amazing but it's the desserts we like to see
right? :)

My family enjoyed them too.

I also partook in a cocktail or two.

Regular coffee stops.

Dressing up for the rain.

I will be back. :) 

Worried about...
Things at work are in quite a bit of turmoil at the moment, my Unit is under inspection and it may have to close down if it's decided that it's not cost effective, it makes me so angry to think that everything is about money and making profit these days, not about the great service that we provide to the clients in our care.

If they do decide to close us down I haven't a clue where the people in our care would receive the treatment they need as we are the only facility like it in our area, also the staff will be moved to other units and if that happens I will retire, for now my colleague and myself have dropped a day at work each so that there is just one nurse working at any given time as they are claiming that we are over staffed.  

I wish that these pen pushers at the top would just come and spend a day with us and see how well they would manage to cope with the reduced number of staff that we are having to work with.
They just don't have a clue about what goes on in the real world, sorry rant over but it does make me angry that so many essential services are being fazed out due to lack of funding. 

Terrified about!....
Just before I went on holiday I had a lot of pain and swelling at the left side of my face, my upper left wisdom tooth has finally decided to put in an appearance, unfortunately it's growing into my cheek! 

After a course of antibiotics and a consultation at the dental clinic I now have an appointment for removal of TWO! impacted wisdom teeth the one on the upper left and one on the upper right.  I hate going to the dentist so you can imagine how I'm feeling about this I have opted to have sedation.. well wouldn't you!? and how on earth am I supposed to eat when both sides of my mouth are going under attack.  All of this is going to happen at the end of the month so I'm trying to put it out of my mind until then.

Not Much Time For...
Crafty things I'm so way behind with everything especially all the CALs I'm working on, all I can manage at the moment is a little work on my scrappy blanket and I enjoyed knitting this little hat with some stash yarn I've had for years do you recognise it? it's yarn I had left over from these.

It's an easy little beanie and should fit a child about 4-6 years, if you would like the pattern just say and I can put it up in another post. :)

Happy about...
Cutting this hedge 
before....

and after

This a job that gets more and more difficult every year and I'm always pleased when it's done.

So thats it for now I hope you all have a great weekend, I'm hoping to make a square for the moogly CAL I'm so behind and I have found a little baby jacket I'm just itching to start what are your weekend plans?   

see you soon. xxx
