Friends are people you trust & respect as you would a trusted family member. Some friends are amazing, they will go out of their way to help while others sit back uncaringly when all you need is positive words.
There are days we need our friends more than we realise & their words are comfort to us when we are down. Sometimes it's something they can't help with but just knowing they care helps a lot.

What a WEEK...
Well it started out with me relaxing at home on a hot and steamy Sunday. It was still hot and steamy at 6:30am Monday morning when I arrived at work, the day only got hotter amd as it turned out the Tuesday and Wednesday were as bad with the temperature being in the low 40C range. The first 3 days of the week were hot and filled with a variety of work related issues which were highly frustrating to say the least.
Thankfully Thursday was a better day kind of, for me waking up at 4am wasn't what I would like an nor was starting at 5:15am so as to get the important work completed... and I did my day of work ended at 5:30pm - so a mere 11 hours of work. In that 11 hours I did a full 2 days of work - felt like I was running a never ending marathon to be honest. What makes it all the more amazing was the fact that this feat was accomplished on a day when the temperature was hovering so close to 40C for the afternoon and was 35C by 10am.
Friday wasn't much better temperature wise either - hovering over 35C and having a lot of work to get done, I have to admit getting home at 7pm after a day at work on a Friday is nobodies idea of 'fun'. I was literally asleep on my feet, and of course I still had several hours of volunteer work to attend to, this was postponed until Saturday morning and as my week had been even a 'relaxing' morning turned to a stressful hell of a time. Thank god things got better and I had a relaxing afternoon of fun in the sun.

yudda yudda yudda
Time for some rather random ramblings, I have to admit these last few weeks have been pretty weird but I have been quite happy throughout them, considering that they have had a bit of pain & suffering I am feeling amazing.
For about a month I have had a bad toothache in a couple of my wisdom teeth which of course makes eating painful at times. Then there is my back which I have strained some muscles, I keep just plodding along and doing what I can just to keep the ball rolling so to speak. I have an infection in a finger and have had that about a week and a half, but most recently I hurt my big toe.
I was playing cricket and got hit on the end of the toe by the cricket ball, it really hurt & I said a few unsavoury words and then got back to playing the game. After I took my shoe off & the end of my sock had a dark red circle, so I knew that it had done some damage and then took the sock off. The toe nail had torn and split and had a bit of blood over it, I know it was really sore and my instinct was to go and get it checked out at the hospital - well I did that and I will be going back today for an X-ray as the doctor thinks I may've fractured my big toe... OUCH is all I can say really.

Busy... busy... busy
Well this last weekend has been to put it simple and blunt... BUSY, I was up at 5am both Saturday and Sunday and even worked a full standard day on a Sunday. That was after being awake at 5am Saturday so that the cricket ground was ready for the days match. This alone is a lot of work but it's made more difficult by inadequate equipment & facilities.
