It’s like living in a laundry here at the moment. And so hot! The flat is covered in half-dry clothes, trapped in a washing cycle between two weeks away from home cat sitting and two weeks away from home travelling Italy on the trains.
It looks like Pompeii is off the menu now - it’s too far south.
So anyway, it’s slowly working its way through the machine as I’m working my way through a mountain of work at work (nice sentence structure). Things are gearing up for Christmas, I guess, and to prove the point I got my first invite for a Christmas do today. It’s happening on Thursday.
Nice timing. I suspect I’ll not make it.
The office is a strange place at the moment. So many people away or working from home. Or elsewhere, having left. It’s quite quiet and almost a bit lonely. Nobody to lunch with now Mark has gone. It’s just as well K is still around or I’d be tea-running on my own, aswell.
It’s times like this when you need an office pet.
The weekend was fun but busy. Spent Saturday wizzing around picking up the stuff I needed to stock both my fridge and mum’s. She was back from holiday with a bad back and has been bed-bound ever since. Saturday night, dinner with Trevor and Jon and the cats. It felt like ages since we’d all met up, and in fact, thinking back, it was the night of the four hour journey. When you consider we used to meet every weekend - at least - it’s a sorry state of affairs.
So anyway, Jon cooked us spaghetti and we ate it in the conservatory where we couldn’t quite see Mars rising, then decamped for music and mints until it was time for Trevor to head to bed for his shift.
Not that he’s the kind of person whose ’shift work’ involves use of a bed - merely the hours beforehand.
