A Poppy, The Blue Lagoon and a rather Strange Museum!

Hello Blogging Friends, hope you are all having a good Sunday.  The wind is fierce up here in Inverness, but fairly warm and at the moment the sun is shining, at least no rain.

Thanks to you all for the lovely comments on my last post, love reading them.

We had a lovely lunch out with Damian and Moreen yesterday, but how I suffered afterwards, Indian food seldom sits well with me, but yesterday was awful, such a pity cos I so much enjoyed it.  We were meant to go on to friends who were having a barbie as their daughter is on a visit from Australia with her children and there were birthdays involved and I just couldn't make it.  Alistair thinks that some of my upset was down to stress because in the morning I was trying to make corrections to the minutes of the welfare meeting I had for work, where there were glaring mistakes, misinterpretations and omissions.  Would you believe that after working for 14years there they spelt my name Curry instead of Currie, quite insulting really.  Anyway, when I sat down at the PC to type, I could just feel my stomach in an uproar.  I managed to get some of it done, but felt I would have to leave it, otherwise the whole thing would ruin my day, it kind of did anyway.

I am back to the GP tomorrow, so we'll see what happens then, but it's clear I'm still in no fit state to be back at work.  It is all quite worrying though.  I came off work with exhaustion due to work related stress, but since then the stress has upped its level, thanks to my my managers not knowing their .... from their elbow.

I have been told that I will be going for an OH assessment, but the area manager didn't know where, it's a company based in Chester that they have bought in, but, she said it would be somewhere in the Highlands.
The Highlands is an awfully big place, I suppose she could have said Highlands and Islands, so I'm lucky there.  It's no wonder I think I'm going doolally.

Another couple of Iceland photos for you;

This is me at the Blue Lagoon, I had already been in for a dip and it is truly amazing.  In the middle of a lava field, it is the by product of all the power station's waste.  Now I don't know the science of it,but it's manmade. You can see the power staition in the background.  The water is a bit sulphuric but so warm, and outside, that came as a surprise, I thought it was indoors.  Whilst we were in the pool there was a cloud burst, felt really strange.  Cost a fortune for a dip, but one of the sights you had to see.

Whilst walking to the bus station one day we passed this building, at first I didn't know what it was, I thought it was to do with stamps,(led a sheltered life you see), anyway I was fairly sure that wasn't the right word, so on closer inspection through the window, I discovered what kind of museum this actually was,  apparently it contained all sorts of shapes, sizes, colours, from every living thing known to man.  No, we didn't go in, mainly because it would have cost around £10, as I said Iceland is very expensive, but we did have a good laugh about it.
