and a pic of this pretty flower bunch on my way home!
Church was ok..only 9 of us today but glad cos I finally partook Holy Communion after some time..hehe. Had croissant with salami and cheese for refreshments today. After tt went to Bearwood to get groceries and cards. I managed to find hair brush at Poundland too so I was happy!
Not long after I came back, put laundry down to wash and chat with dad on Viber, I thought I smelled smoke but thought nothing of it since from time to time, we'll get smell of burning wood (from ppl's chimneys). Then a while later, heard sirens and there were 3 fire engines (and later an ambulance) along my place! A neighbour's house (think about 5-6 doors away) caught fire..can't see the damage but only saw smoke on and off. The other neighbours went out to see what happened and chatted. I just stayed indoors and snap pic..hahaha..oops! Poppy seemed to know something is up and started barking when people passed by and looked at the fire engine then sniffed at the main door.
Anyway the fire engines are still here (about 2hr have passed!!) and they have blocked the road. I was just thinking if one operation takes so long, then are there many firefighters?? Should ask one of my classmates who works in the fire services. He did invite us to his workplace too...may arrange for a visit one day with my grp of classmates later when most people are back from their hols.
It's the 2nd time I saw an ambulance today. Earlier on saw someone being brought into the ambulance while I was on the bus. Might have been an accident earlier or maybe someone fainted..not sure. But the patient's condition looked serious. Bless them!
Don't feel like cooking cos it's soo warm!! Had wanted to buy salad mix but the shelves were empty! Think everyone doing BBQ today lor! So came home and defrosted the pork shoulder chops I bought and the leftover dhal. I'm not sure what I'm cooking but may dump everything together and just cook prata. Poppy has only left with 2 trays of dog food which she doesn't seem to take very well. I don't know if it's coincidental but the two times I gave her, she puked the next day.
Anyway, earlier this morning, got my 2nd boss's whatsapp (she's one of my RO and ex-sup when I was a student also) asking about my findings for my thesis cos apparently she's doing a quotation for an external company who wants our dept to do the FCE for pre employment screening! She was saying how she wish the person approached her after I go back..hahaa! Imagine tt she's doing this on a Sun!! Obviously as much as I know how capable she is and a good role model, I want my personal social life too..hahaha! Anyway then chatted a bit with her too. Seems tt when I go back, I'll do half inpt and half outpt work...and I'll cover pain management clinic too...fearful..haha..and was telling her hv to prioritise what I need to do first...lots waiting for me -,-||| I must really enjoy my "hols" first. Quite sad no kaki to go travel with..but I might just go if I finish my thesis or almost finish. Then checked when my graduation ceremony might be..seems may be mid Dec. The other day was chatting with M and I said I doubt I'll be coming back for graduation and she sounded surprised! I also didn't attend my UniSA one though I rented gown to take pics. Well, I might hor? If I still have leave and have places I wanna go...but if in Dec means shorter days..shall see how things go!
I guess I'll head out tomorrow to West Brom...see if can get cheap sandals or maybe get another pair of flip flops from Primark..haha! Tmr's weather forecast is sunny intervals (it showed light rain shower this morning but I guess it is now the latest!). Wed and Thur temp supposedly to be about 16°C.
*Added: This is my dinner!
And I thought I'll show a pic of bored Poppy by the window. Cooked basmati rice and added slightly salted butter and ham into it. She finished almost all of it! I made her finish all of it before I give her her treat..then she sulking on her kitchen bed..put her head down and looked at me sitting outside..haha!
