I had no intention of leaving it a week before I posted again, but time just got away on me.

Worked 4 shifts last week - feels good to be working again. The first 2 nights were long shifts - Monday night was around the clock from 7pm to 7am! It is ages since I worked an allnighter, but I managed ok - felt a bit jetlagged when I woke up on Tuesday afternoon though. I was there to keep the refrigeration guys company while they worked, as they couldn't be left in the store on their own after the other staff went home. All went ok, even though the head guy was a bit of a dickhead. There was plenty for me to do while they did their maintenance of the fridges and freezers so time passed fairly quickly. We had 3 very cold nights, though, and it was 0 degrees when I drove home at 5am on Wednesday morning.

Then the store got me to work a shift on Friday helping out in the chiller section. This just involves tidying it up, and then filling stock. Man, that supermarket is busy on a Friday - packed out all day. Also, I am going to work for them for 3 weeks in September helping to change over all the price tickets in readiness for the increase in GST from 1 October. Every price ticket in the store has to be reprinted with the new price, then we go round and put them behind the existing tickets. Then on the night before we go round and take out the old ones. And to think this has to happen in EVERY Countdown around the country. So, I smile and think of the money.

There's also a possibility of some work at Farmers department store coming up - they are relocating in September and my friend knows the manager so I went and had a chat with him about it last week. If that comes together it would probably happen at the same time as the GST work, but will have to cross that bridge if and when it happens.

Just had my lovely sisters-in-law to stay for the weekend. As usual we had a brilliant time. It rained most of the weekend but we managed a long walk yesterday on the pathway from just outside Havelock towards Clive. Then we made pizzas and played kalookie with Tori and Sharon last night. Good fun.

This week I am working 3 shifts at the supermarket. Not going to make my fortune this week but it is so good to have some money coming in!! Plus I am selling a few pairs of earrings on Trademe.

Watched Bright Star yesterday again with the girls. What an exquisite film! Jane Campion is a genius. The costumes are to die for, and she has created such beautiful interiors - simple and bare rooms but the colour and light are divine. One of my top 10 movies.
