My Weekend
Well let's start with the great news - Other Fred has been offered a new job which starts on the 31st October working for the Abbey group so we are delighted. Please feel free to leave messages of congrats as he'd love that. He's currently surfing the net at home for the next two weeks with no worries in the world other than what to have for lunch... lucky position to be in.
Also his starting salary is higher than the one he had in the previous job and he got his redundancy on top so he's "quids in!!" (International visitors : Quids In = Financial Gain - not sure if that is a Northern Ireland saying...)
Needless to say we had a wee party on Sat night and were joined by Richard and Susan for celebrations in the best way we know - Chinese in front of telly (X Factor) - marvellous!!!
Sunday was also a lovely day - Me and Mrs Fred watched Phoenix Nights at home and then ate all round us.
I've taken up a part time job in a store in CastleCourt (Belfast City Shopping Centre) and I started that on Sat morning - everyone there seems really nice but I just heard today that I have to go out on a training course for it to Glasgow for one night in two weeks - not sure if I can be bothered with all that... Alan - how far is Glasgow to Edinburgh?? Might pop over to see you...
Philip at the Cathedral has asked me to sing an item on his CD which is called "A Spire of Hope" (or something) - I am to sing "You Raise Me Up". We rehearsed it on Sunday complete with gorgeous flute arrangement and a man came up to us after the rehearsal who had been milling around the Cathedral and he was crying because he said it was his son's favourite song and the son is now in prison.....
OH MY GOD!!!
