Embarassment

Hello

Hope everyone is well. Not enitrely sure what it is I'm going to post this morning but thought that I hadn't for a while so I better post something!

Last week was a funny week....in the middle of a lot of down times there were some that were just hilarious.....basically involving me and a lot of my underwear!!

Firstly I went to work one day last week wearing a pink blouse that I hadn't worn in a while. I'd forgotten that the buttons on this blouse weren't the most secure. Anyway I got into work and in reception we have to clock in on a touch screen with our extension number and pin number. The caretaker of the building was sitting there chatting to me while I was doing this........it was only when I looked down to clock in that I realised that part of my blouse was open and showing my bra! Aaah, embarassment central.....the next question was what to do; to button them infront og him would have been highly embarassing yet doing nothing was very uncomfortable. I managed to bid good morning and make a swift exit and do the buttons of my shirt up as I went up the stairs. Strike 1 of Emma's underwear embarassment.

The second installment of that happened when I was in work on Tuesday. I'd stayed at my Dads the night before and so had my overnight bag woth me. I was just checking that I had a book in there and realised that my knickers had fallen out and were currently sitting on ym desk. I discreetly managed to slip them back into my bag, but not before turning the colour of a tomato!!

That is all on the underwear front but there was one other funny story. My car broke down on Sunday evening while taking Becky Rasdall back to the train station. I rang my housemate to see whether she'd be able to take Becky to the station. I was parked in a lay-by on a dual carriageway/interstate. Much to my dismay I'd forgotten to leave the torch in the car so we couldn't look at the engine and decided that the best option was to call the AA to come and tow me home. While chatting with the call operator she gave me lots of tips as to what to do; put my hazard lights on, leave the car by the passenger door, stand on the grass verge away from the car (in freezing temperatures!) etc. With all this safety advice I didn't think it was the best thing to share that the current idea floating around the car was for my housemate to move her car from behind mine to infront of mine and then attempt a three point turn in the lay-by so she was facing me and we could shine the headlights into the car........only 3 women could come up with that idea!!

Anyway hope they've made you chuckle......signing off now x x

Weekend

Just wanted to post about the weekend.
I was up in Yorkshire in a cottage with Esther, Rachael and Jon. It was a lovely cottage, right by the steam railway in a village called Oakworth near Haworth (Bronte Country).
It was nice to get away from the mundane, day by day life really and it's such a beautifu part of the country. On Saturday we went to Bolton Abbey an absolutely gorgeous place. It was so lovely to go walking there. For once fear didn't get the better of me and I actually crossed the river on the stepping stones that are in the picture on the right, not an easy thing to do when you have short legs like me!!
We also went to some lovely tea rooms for lunch, nothing like homemade chicken soup to warm you after a walk.
I think one of the funniest parts of the evening was the many games of Cranium that we played. I was on a team with Rachael and Esther was with Jon and we both got stuck on the datahead questions for 1/2 an hour.....by this point I think Jon was praying for the second coming!!
On Sunday we went to Abundant life church in Bradford. It was quite interesting to go there and see how their church has worked. God is using them immensely and they have been blessed with such wonderful provision. It's just sometimes diffcult to pickup the complete dimension of a church when you are only there for one service.
Anwyay am back now, it was a nice weekend away.....just need another break to look forward to now!!
