It's Wednesday!!

Hiya - you alright??  I'm okay!!  First in answer to Sandra's comment I didn't get to see Queen live with Freddie, unfortuantely I was too young :-(  I regret that everyday.  I know that's a silly thing to say coz I can't help being the age I am but I wish I had become a fan earlier and maybe I could've gone with my brother or something!!  In answer to Suzy I haven't a clue what the unicorn was called and that is bugging me now - thanks ;-)!!

I was planning to do my entry as it's Wednesday and that means quiz night but I was planning to tell you that I was still feelin' down etc.  Work has not been helping - usual reasons, although this afternoon was slightly better and Jez and Pete keep making me laugh!!  Got Jez good this afternoon, he finally remembered the entity number for this particular client so we could find out some info, but when I typed it in I was like that's not our part of the alphabet.  LOL.......I'd been bugging him all day to get the entity numbers like Pete does and the one time he does..............well it's obviously a case of you had to be there ;-)  Trust me it was funny!!  I walked up to him later and got up to his desk with a straight face, when I reached him I started laughing LOL.......I'm so mean!!  ;-)

Anyhoo...........no more talk of flooding!!  Yes you can guess that yet again I was over-reacting!!  They seem to be doing something to the river.......when I say they I don't mean the little people ;-) LOL......well I don't know who it is but someone's doing something they were there this morning with a digger of some kind etc...........Todays been gorgeous so no doubt tomorrow won't be!!  That's the way it's going isn't it??

I've been going through all my writing stuff in the view that when I have some spare time I'd like to work on it a bit more........I found the one that I had been working on when I was unemployed.  I had written loads.  Imagine if I was not working now I could have written a novel by now LOL...........Damn my stupid useless job!!  ;-)

Anyway enough of my ramblings, yes ladies and gents it's Wednesday so that can only mean one thing it's QUIZ NIGHT!!  Same rules apply, don't forget to EMAIL your answers................Good luck!!

When I listened on Saturday to Queen on AOL as good as the singer was he was not Freddie was he.  Must replace some of my Queen records with CDs. Going to try your Quiz for the first time so wish me luck .Love Joan.

A plea for not visiting the medium section of the book next week, lol, stay with the easy, for Sara ;o)  Glad you are feeling a little better hon, with a few laughs at work and no flooding.  Hope you feel all the way cheered up soon ;o)

Freddie was the only one.......and I saw him live, with the rest of the 'boys' at Wembley in 86! They were amazing, I have to say it, especially him, he just had such presence, apart from his powerful voice. I also have to say though, that I think Paul was a good choice. He is a respected and successful musician/singer of the same era, with his own following from his time with Free and Bad Company......and he likes wearing leather trousers, which Freddie would have approved of.....:o)

Glad you had a laugh at work anyway - always helps a bit! I didn't know you had been doing some writing. What sort of writing, I wonder - fiction? Poetry? Perhaps review stuff about Queen? Or, then again, maybe it's the autobiography? Whatever it is, I hope you carry on with it.
