Personally Speaking...

I should have really told you guys that I have been blogging back at My Opera Blog for a little while now. I have decided that leswan.com is going to be more of a 'Hey look what I came across today!' blog! LOL... So my personal life is at the My Opera Community - Where it belongs! I <3 Opera!!!

So what's gonna be first on my web observation blog... Wait and see, it's certainly worth the hype :D

Random Update...

It's been a little while since I last updated. Things have become so manic and crazy for me I just haven't had time to do anything I should have! I think a little more organisation and planning on my behalf wouldn't go a miss right now. Work has been really busy and very exciting and so has thrown me off the rest of my life. Although I have also had a couple more twinkle meets that have been good fun and they seem to be growing everytime we go out! RESULT!!!

 

On the Hockey side of things, I haven't been able to play for the last 2 weeks which has been rather annoying. I love playing hockey, but I have an infection in my eye and so I have had to wear glasses. Today has been the first time I have been able to wear my contacts and to be honest, that is probably a bad idea as it still hasn't gone down properly. :-( But I really want to play hockey tonight and so need to wear them.

 

*sigh*

 

In other news, my bestest friend came back at the weekend! I am so over the moon! I have missed her more than anything! I can't wait until we can meet up and exchange gossip. There is always so much to tell! lol! Girls eh!?!?!?

 

Anyway, that's it, nothing more to report.

Cornwall and Life!

I went to Cornwall last week which was lovely! The weather held up quite well considering. Every day was taken up with nice lunched out, the odd dinner out and a couple of nights we ate in too. We had this lovely little cottage right by the sea and shops. St Ives is a very small place so you can walk everywhere, a little like Brugges! I gorged on the scones, pasty's and ice cream! It was all lovely. The fish was amazing, as you would probably expect! I have to say, I ate a lot

 

Unfortunately on the Wednesday I got a cold which was crap! I had to stay in while everyone went to the pub. It wasn't so bad as I was kept company by my Twinkle posse! Love you guys!!! I still have the damn cold though, but it's slowly but surely going! I'm taking lots of Echinacea and Vitimin C - Like a good little girl! lol.

 

Other things in the life of Swanny... Ummmm, my bf is in Vancouver this week! I must say, I am feeling pretty lonely now. It's our anniversary on Monday and I have booked a lovely little Japanese restaurant! I can't wait! Should be an interesting night!

 

My friends have been pretty awful of late, so I have been pretty down about all that. My best friend is in South America and I am counting down the Days, hours and minutes until she comes back. It crasy how much you realise how much someone means to you when they are not around! Sarah, if you're reading this! I love you and miss you - Keep safe chica and mail me soon!!!

Finally, I am going to The Emirates! I can't wait! I am going on Tuesday to watch my beloved Arsenal play Sheffield United in the Cup! I got the £10 tickets for my brother and I. It's going to be great fun!

 

Anyway, despite constantly thinking about things and winding myself up, I am good! Happy and content to an extent. Tired and drained also. Strange Week to say the least!!!

Twinkle Meet Up!

The Twinkle meet up finally happened and I didn't chicken out this time! Although there was a moment when Samantha said she couldn't make it as the poor thing wasn't well, I almost chickened out!!! Me meeting 5 guys... A lilttle daunting to say the least! But I went anyway and glad I did! We had a great time! We met up in Canary Wharf after work in Browns. Marc, Adam, Rob, Chris and I had a couple of drinks in the beer garden then we decided to go to the restaurant and get some food and then more drinks! The evening went pretty quickly I thought, but then time flies when you're having fun! lol!

 

I am certainly up for another meet soon! Hopefully the week after next as I will be in Cornwall next week! Don't worry though I will be twinkling away, probably even more than usual! lol! Why break a habit of a lifetime :P Getting my iPhone has got to be one of the best things I have ever got! For many reasons!!! Apple... I love you!

Weather, Cats and Plans

The weather here is pretty crappy at the moment! I have been pleased that I have been able to just relax though! I have hockey again tonight but I am a little worried about getting injured again. I think I might just go to the gym instead as this is still only pre-season. Although, skills training is so much fun, I don't really want to miss it so maybe I will go!

 

I was cat sitting again last night! It was really nice! I was on my own and it gave me time to relax and think. I feel that over the past few months I haven't had much of a chance to think about life and things that are going on. Especially as next week I won't get too much time to myself as I'm going away with my bfs pretty large family. It's going to be great fun though.

 

I am really keen to do as little as possible when I get back from that though as it really has been a manic year. I think it's time to think about what lies ahead and plan a little. Obviously not on the man front as men are so unreadable it's frustrating. At least with women you know where you are!!! You men out there have it easy! Anyway, I need to think about what lies ahead work wise as I am still temping. Although long term, I have to accept that my position may not be needed after Xmas and then I will be left in rather an unwanted predicament! I am still really hoping they need me though! Fingers crossed!

 

Other than all that, I have a Twinkle meet on Thurday which should be fun. Gotta say I am a little nervous as I can get pretty shy meeting new people. It's also pretty strange as we all kinda know eachother to speak to but will we be as talkactive face to face! I guess we shall find out...

 

Right, that's all for now.

Hockey!

On Tuesday Night I joined a hockey club. What's so great about that you may ask?Well, I haven't played in over 10 years and I although slim, I am not that fit! I was very nervous as I chose to do it alone! So I didn't know anyone and had no clue how I was going to fair! I got there a little early in order to meet some people. I was so shy! Strange for me! Although confidence isn't exactly on a high at the moment!

 

I was introduced to a few people and then we began fitness training. It was a lot of sprinting and I felt like I was going to die! We were then split into our groups and it was time for some skills training. This I loved! I have always enjoyed playing hockey and skills was always the most fun part to me!

 

We then went into a mini game, by which time I was knackered. I could barely run! Although I was glad it was over, I had a smashing time and really look forward to the next session. I was complimented on my abilities by the coach which was encouraging considering I haven't played in over 10 years. I have my first match on the 13th September which will be a real challenge.

 

If there was one thing I have learnt from Tuesday, is that I am faaarrrr from fit! I can hardly walk at the moment and I have the trials on Saturday! What to do!!! Between now and the 13th, I have to do a lot of training to get up to scratch. Tonight I am going to go for a run and then go to the gym every day if I can for a bit of training!

 

No one said it was gonna be easy!!!
