i managed to oversleep today - mainly as i was out counting bats until late last night. i had a job application to do and the deadline was noon today. i was munching toast and slurping coffee as i finished it off and then went to send it, only to find Hotmail wasn't working properly (for the umpteenth day in a row) and wouldn't attach the document.
panicking, i managed to get another email open and sent to application with 4 minutes to spare.
then i opened the package that had arrived for me.
it was a book called 'The Wildlife Gardener' by Kate Bradbury (no relation to Ray). I'd helped Kate look for reptiles last year as part of the book and i had a thank you in it as well as the free copy. she'd also written a thank you in the front and signed it for me - a very lovely present.
also... this has cheered me up no end... there was a thank you card and a bag of organic coffee that Kate had bought on a recent trip to view wildlife and plants in Colombia. she said she'd remembered that i liked coffee and got it for me.
having the unemployement and post birthday blues, this has REALLY cheered me up, such a thoughtful gift.
the book is lovely too, full of wonderful info on plants and animals and some lovely photos (not just of the reptiles).
