Job Hunting

Last week I had three job interviews! After getting nothing for ages it was quie a relief. They all went pretty well, and I've been offered a casual post office job that starts in a couple of months. It will be dull but it's better than nothing! Still waiting to hear back from the others. I might end up with two jobs! :D

I had another rescue last week. It was a collared dove this time that had jumped the nest too young and couldn't fly. He seemed healthy otherwise so Tiggy's will look after him until he's old enough to look after himself and then he should be released :) Happy ending!

I've also been knitting this guy for the past week or so. The pattern was really cute and easy to follow. I think I will probably make some more at some point! I gave him a scarf to disguise the fact that I sewed his arms on a bit low giving him a reeeally long neck, lol.

Tea Party!


I completed my first rescue for Tiggywinkles this week! Nothing very exciting, I just had to pick up a tawny owl from a lady’s house. He possibly had an injured wing. I keep meaning to ring and ask if he was ok but I’m worried it will be bad news. He was effer so cute.

An unhappy owl :(


Friday was my mum’s birthday, she has reached half a century! So we had a tea party at a posh house called Luton Hoo. It’s a really nice place and the grounds are lovely but unfortunately it was pouring down with rain while we were there. The tea and cakes were still good though! And I think my ma had a good time.


 

 
I have seen a few films recently, trying to occupy the huge emptiness that is my time at the moment. Went to see Woman in Black at the cinema which I was hopeful for because I have seen the play in the West End and it was amazingggg. The film was alright but not what I expected. They changed a few bits which I thought was unnecessary. Also Daniel Radcliffe can’t act, although he didn’t have much to say in this film which meant it wasn’t quite so apparent. The scenery and settings were really good though. Just how I imagined :)

Another film I have seen recently that I enjoyed a lot more is Mother. It’s a Korean film directed by the same person who did The Host and Memories of Murder which are two other films I really like. Mother is about a woman who is trying to get her son cleared of a murder that she is convinced he didn’t commit. The plot sounds quite simple but there are lots of unexpected aspects to it. I think it is definitely worth a watch, or maybe two.

Ooh, a last note because which makes me realise how little I update this blog. Congratulations to my friend Amreen (Anne-Marie) who had her baby boy a couple of weeks ago. He is sooo cute and I can’t wait to brainwash him to like ‘cool’ stuff like science and knitting ;)

Bye for now!
