Digging July 13, 2008

I feel jolly today! Mainly because I have just had a nap and woken up fully refreshed and lovely. My hayfever has been really terrible today. Didn’t help that I was in the garden for most of the day digging. Like in Time Team. Only on a much smaller scale. And without any archaeological knowledge whatsoever.

It was a deep hole. I had fun. I found little. A piece of pottery, something coppery or bronzey, a piece of tile and a millipede centipede. Compared to the work I put in, the fruits of my labour were very poor. And so I shan’t be doing is again. I’ve no idea where the pottery is from. I’m not an archaeologist.

I’ve applied for a job. At the new History Centre. As an assistant. It sounds like a good job that I would enjoy. I’m very picky. I hope I get it, but I’m not being too optimistic.

I have a fun packed week ahead. I think it will be tiring. I’m missing Uni a bit now.

I also feel I have to share with you the joys of Cadbury Jaffa Cakes. Wow, they’re amazing. I think you should all try one. Or 4, like I did earlier. I might have another later. I’m a bit greedy when it comes to Jaffa Cakes…and also Jam Tarts :-)

  1. How did the millipede become a centipede. Did you pull off 900 legs?
    I went to church today. Afterwards I offered to do the tea and coffee. I ate about 400 bits of digestive biscuits while I was standing around. Because the bits aren’t really anything much. So they have no calories. Hence, you can eat 400 with little consequence.
    I also like jaffa cakes. And I’m quite partial to the occasional tart.

    I love bits of biscuits. Dipped in tea. Not as much as I love Jaffa Cakes though. You can’t dunk a Jaffa Cake in tea though, which is a shame. But they go really well with weetabix and milk. In my opinion. Which is correct.

    The millipede…centipede…couldn’t make up its mind which it was. It may have been my mind that couldn’t be made up. I may have thought it was an odd looking worm to begin with. I’m afraid to say legs were probably lost. Accidentally. Not that it would matter, it has numerous others to compensate. Filthy.
