Another earlier start back into the office today. I didn't sleep very well, it took me a while to drift off and I woke up about 25 minutes afterwards. My alarm went off at 6.50am and woke me up in the midst of a dream. I was a bit slower to get up and get moving, but I got downstairs, fed the cats, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, had some of the badly executed banana bread and yoghurt for breakfast and then got dressed left about the same time as yesterday around 7.55am, but as I got down the end of Whitecote Lane there was a load of farm equipment completely blocking the road and so I had to do a million point turn to go back on myself through Newthorpe, so it was probably around 8.40am by the time I walked into the office.
The morning was relatively productive, lots of trying to get on top of how the system works and I'm getting there slowly. I managed to send some CVs eventually, but it seems a bit clunky getting eveything as I used to.
At lunch I ate at my desk and had rice and bean and also a naked bar as well as 2 apples and a satsuam for snacks. I then went for a walk around the block along the canal with Nic again. She noticed that there were a lot of people walking around the back of my desk and suggested that I move to a more corner area with less people around me so I'll swap with Rachel when I'm back in the office again on Friday.
I worked out that I still had 15.5 days of leave to take and so I took off a week in October with a plan of booking onto an online writing course with Arvon.
The afternoon was fairly productive other than the frustration of having a meeting that lasted for 40 minutes which could have been an email about a client transfering over some temps. I finished up around 6.30pm and then went to the toilet before heading to the car in pouring rain. It was so wet that it took me a long time to drive back in the rain more slowly.
When I arrived back home Alan was cleaning the cooker which was impressive!
I cooked Hello Fresh when I got in - Toulouse Sausage and potatoes with a tomato and bean sauce and listened to PMQs as I cooked. I also ate 30g portion of cheese, marmite and skips whilst I cooked as I was way too hungry. I had thought about going for a run, but it got late after I'd let my dinner go down and so I decided to email the vouchers we'd not yet been able to book for our wedding as they are due to expire very soon. I asked the Alfresco Adventures and the Yorkshire Heart Wine Tasting people to ask about how to book.
I also checked my course on Saturday and messaged my friend Jenny to see if she might be interested in meeting for a walk and she seemed interested.
We watched Friends, Taskmaster and generally stuff on Dave whilst Alan waited for an Amazon order to arrive and we ate feasts and then wine gums after the delivery had arrived and I had a beer as well. I meant to go for a run, but it was too wet and I didn't fancy it, will need to do 10K tomorrow!
