The farewell is over and the new job has begun

Last Friday was my final day at the job where I had worked for nearly 21 years. It was quite a wrench to say goodbye and I didn't sleep much that night. Although a long day I received lots of flowers, gifts and good wishes. This is the bouquet from the Company and the lovely crystal earrings I received.

On Monday I started work at my new job and have been totally exhausted ever since!! I work 8 till 5 with only a half hour lunch break so its all go! But I do get home a lot earlier than I did from my previous job so once this initial tiredness has worn off I look forward to more stitching time. Currently there's no great news on the stitching front but ....
this came in todays mail so I think my Winter Quaker Exchange is waiting for me at the Post Office. Watch This Space!

Wanted to wish you luck in your new chapter of your life.

Your blog is wonderful and your exchanges look like such fun and your stitching is lovely.

I wish you all the best in your new job. You are certainly right that after a while you get accustomned to the new tasks and then the tiredness will vanish. Getting home so early is certainly great!

One door closes and another opens. Your timing worked out well and it sounds like you're off to a good start! More stitching time is always great. All the best!
