Still waiting...

No news yet on job front, still waiting for an answer from the job in Liverpool and the council job.
Went to the vintage fashion fair on Saturday, Very good! A lot of good stalls to look around so took my time. Came home with a few bits of jewelery to add to the collection.
The image above is a little like me from the site "Wee world" which creates an avatar of you to show to other people.I might add different imags as I go along ...
Sunday, went to Dobbies Garden centre near Speke for a look around. Very big site with a good restaurant which has crepes ( look good! ) They also had an aquarium section with a very large selection of fish to buy including seahorses at £500 each! Will have to go back again when it gets warmer and more plant choices to buy.

Vintage fair in Liverpool..

Today I was happy to read that there is a vintage clothes and home fair at St Georges Hall this Saturday in Liverpool city centre, 25th February. It is going to have 100 stalls so SHOULD find something of interest!

New film being made!

I happened to be in West Kirby yesterday morning and there is a film being made there called " Blood "
It is going to star Paul Bettany, Mark Strong and Brian Cox about a family of police brothers ( look it up on imdb called " Blood" ( 2013 ) )
There are a lot of trailers parked in the lower car park in front of Morrisons but couldnt see anyone around except for crew. I asked the
receptionist where I was going and she said they had been filming round the boating lake Monday and were filming on Hilbre yesterday.
Could be good to keep an eye out on as dont know how long they are going to be there for!...

Job Interviews!

Last week on the post sending out statements went well for the agency work. Had to help out with stamping the envelopes though in order to finish on time.

BUT.. had a phone call when there to say I've been put forward for a full time position which is temporary for three months and on Friday got a call to say I'm going for an interview this afternoon!
It's suppose to be an informal interview but how do you prepare for that? Is it the same as a formal interview?
ALSO i've got another interview tomorrow afternoon for a similar role in another company for a permanent job which takes place in a very iconic building in Liverpool.

Went to see where both buildings are on Saturday and both easy to get to on public transport.

Wish me luck!!.......

Antique Fair from last weekend

Firstly , many thanks for the kind comments about my last blog. Yes, I like the site as well as it gives good info.
Well I went to the Antique fair in New Brighton last weekend and bought a few things. Firstly, a new Mdina Mushroom . ( Mdina is the factory who make it and are based in Malta ) I've got a few things from them as they make good glass items

I also got a new glass clown to add to the few I've also now started buying.The first one at home used to be in a glass cupboard when I was small ( early 1970's ) but dont know where it came from. It's much better than the ones I've seen since so are still looking for an original. This one is not bad as it goes and looks good on the mantlepiece ..



Note. The eyes are never as good as the original as they look added on later. On the original the eyes look as if they are moulded on with the rest of the clown in one glass piece . Still , this one is better than one I've got that looks as if a five year old did the eyes!

Not a lot else has gone on. Got a call to say I've got some agency work this  next week so earning some real money for now again. Have applied for several new  jobs with the agency , one with a local council on Merseyside. Have tried for jobs with this council before and you wait weeks to hear anything so not holding my breath!
At least no snow here (yet! ) Had frost overnight and the bird bath froze over so had to break it with a small hammer this morning. We get quite a few regular birds visiting every day. Two wood pidgeons, a normal pidgeon, a blackbird, robin and two doves plus a few magpies and starlings now and again. We give them bird nuts which they wait for every morning now and there are fat balls lying around too and mealworms for the blackbird.

Well time to finish now as want to go and watch the rugby on tv. I like watching Ireland play as have been there and have distant relatives in my past from there.
Have a good week!
