Where have I been?

I've been working the Lincoln Christmas Market! Which is why I haven't updated my blog in a while.

I've been working 12 and even 13 hour days- stood on my feet ushering people across the road safely (around 100,000 people on Saturday!)

The ORANGE team was the best! We had the toughest job ;) But with the help of the police, our work was a success. I met some great people- some weird folks too! The police were hilarious- by the end of the 4 days we were joking around and making fun out of one another. Charlie, Ian, Inigo and Keith, you guys were ACE! 

I was listening to the radio we had connected to our ear piece- we had the radios connected to every steward, police officer, ambulance staff and the fire brigade service which gave us something to listen to. 'Orange 1 to orange alpha over.'

On top of that, I got a few freebies! My friend managed to smooth talk the old man to get some flashy toys- WIN!

And not only that but Charlie let me borrow her police hat. I loved her impression of the 'No no no cat'! 

All in all- a very fun but tiresome four days. Now I need to rest my foot as my tendon on my heel has seized- wonderful!

Thanks for reading. Over and out.

Dreams

I'm an insomniac and when I do eventually get to sleep I tend to have very trippy dreams and I come in and out of sleep and sometimes get reality mixed up with my dreams.

I keep a diary of the dreams I have because some of them became too weird I wanted to write them down to look back on and remember. It will be so nice in years to come to look back on my dreams that I otherwise would have forgotten. Some are very dark and almost worrying whereas others are extremely bizarre and funny.

I tend to write in my diary when I've just woken up (of which I'm still in a very surreal state at times)

Here's an entry from 13th September 2011

'There was this guy and he got this thing mixed up with a monkey.'  It obviously must have made sense to me at the time...

And another from 22nd October 2011...

'My mum had bought a million kinder eggs boxes and I was so happy! There were loads of toys and queen and kings and a pool table in the other room also filed with loads of kinder eggs toys. It was like a little collection thing.'

These were very short entries but there are longer dreams I will share with you at some point.
