It's been pointed out to me that it's been weeks since I made an entry on this blog, so it's about time to make a comment or two. (And rather than keep my anxious readers waiting, while I wait for inspiration and time for the perfect blog entry, here goes)
The reason for not writing has been a very heavy workload, with two colleagues absent for various reasons, and a lot of their workload falling on to these shoulders. Mind you, I am not complaining about this, as I am enjoying the opportunity immensely.
Firstly, how do you compress eight or so weeks into a short posting? Well, you can't, so I will only mention some of the things that have happened in recent weeks..
The birth of a baby girl to C&M, congratulations!
The occasional win by my beloved Saints- not enough to live up to the early season hype, but as with any other love affair, sadly, disappointment at the reality of what they seem to be capable of seems to be an illusion...
The onset of winter, with two mornings late last week at 2 and 3 degrees C, requiring the windows of the car to be de-iced before leaving for work in the mornings
On a cold, wet Saturday afternoon, two weekends ago, the sheer joy of climbing into bed, and snuggling under the blankets with Coco the cat for an afternoon nap.
Just spending time with C and Y
Phone calls from France
E-mails from the European travellers, H and S, who sound like they are having a marvellous time.
Whimsical communications from various sources bring a smile on otherwise heavy days
Yes, these weeks have passed in the blink of an eye, but it's been a fantastic journey!
