First Day Back
Broken Resolutions
First day back at work and everyone's feeling tired, including me. It's as if we've all been drugged and can't move quickly anymore. Brain doesn't work well either. Too much lying on the sofa, eating chocolates and watching dvds. Now it's back to reality, big time!
Lots of resolutions from colleagues in the office about going on a diet, but scuppered by a lunch at Pizza Express to welcome two new members of the team. Vowed not to drink, but gave in to a glass of Pinot Grigio. At least I had salad!
Travelling Companions
Commuting can be a lonely business but I'm lucky to have a fantastic group of travelling companions. There are five of us, all extremely different, who catch the 7.12 to Cambridge every morning. The chemistry really works and we always have interesting and amusing (if often loud) conversations.
Sometimes I think we disturb the other travellers, but no one has said anything - yet. In true British style, they simply look at you with a face that says everything, but they don't utter a word.
i-Pod Virgin
Well I was until today when I used my i-Pod Nano for the first time, only I forgot how to switch it off. I won't forget again. Immersed myself in the sweet soul sounds of the Isley brothers, followed by the mellow mood music of Moby. Wonderful to escape into an inner world. It's the only way to travel.
Bath, Bed and Book
In that order. Nothing better than feeling really clean and snuggling under the duvet with a good book. It's Harry Potter tonight. I'm the only one in the family who hasn't read the latest one, but I'll catch up soon. I could read books all day and sometimes do. It's another world to get lost in.
