Back after a busy week

Its been a busy week, however it has not been that stressful. This blog was always meant to be cathartic, and if I am not hyper, or nothing interesting has happened there is nothing to say.

The last few days has been ok.

Tuesday was our anniversary, and Belle cooked up a fabulous seafood meal with salad, and a bottle of 04 Calibre, it was very nice. It was made better by both being home by 18:20, eating at 19:30, and then watching the da Vinci Code on DVD. I know it was not everyone favourite film, but it was a good relaxing watch.

The working week was busy, but felt more in control, I am not sure if that was because I am more in control, because it was an easier week, or because with my confirmation letter and pay rise last week I feel more confident.

Saturday saw a trip to MK which resulted in us buying a new picture for our lounge as a joint wedding present. It is lovely and is the first new picture in over 2 years! We then drove down to London to see Russell Howard. He was fantastic, and it was a lovely Anniversary day.

Sunday dawned with sun and wind, and we went on the first of our Sunday bike rides. I want to know if 1 hours ride burns more calories than a pork pie and prawn sandwich (which was lunch). A relaxing weekend finished off by catching up on some TV.

This next week has its own challenges, its new acquisition staff reviewing, to produce the at risk lists. These people could stop working for us 2 days before Christmas, meaning an important process, must be performed perfectly.

Its also that pre holiday week, were you have to get everything finished, or handed over, and given how busy the team is, I have to make sure I don’t give them to much to do.

Finally, a Happiness is the Road update. A friend told me to listen to it a few times and it would grow on me. He was right, most tracks take a bit of getting used to, but once you do they are good on the ears. I am sure they will get a good run through on the way to Spain.
