Gnome surgery

We have a gnome that has lived in the garden ever since I was born. Last month I decided the poor old chap was looking his age and need a spruce up.

I rubbed off what remained of his flakey paint and covered him in white emulsion and then got set on painting him in fresh bright new colours.

I remembered that my Gran also had a gnome and I went to see if he could do with a spruce up. Unfortunately he needed more the a lick of paint. His left leg had come off!

So he was prepped and now he has been reunited with the limb and has a big smile on his face... actually he had the smile on his face already.



So my gnome is now complete, I made him a broom (besom) to hold and I was told when he was new he had a bucket in his hand so I still have to find one for him.

The other gnome is recovering well and I will be able to give him a well deserved face lift soon.

Another day with the job centre bunch

I was there for less then 20 minutes today. Not my quickest visit but up there. I got a letter saying my review is coming up into weeks. That should be interesting and I hope by then I can wave good bye to the Job centre.

Tomorrow I'm meeting up with my good friend Hannah in Canterbury. She is always a laugh and we have good time. Then in the evening hoping to see either the new Star Trek or Terminator movie.

In other news I've been fanficting again. It's almost been 10 years will I ever grow up?

Any way so I had better go an find people's blogs to read I guess :D

Later today I have a job centre meeting so I get my job seekers allowance. I hope to have news on a job I applied for soon and then I may not have to go to sign on ever again.
Then later tonight I'll be off voting, followed by some questing in WoW.

What an exciting life I lead.
