So, here we are again/still.
Life continues.
- 'Wine with the girls' - splashed out on a chacuterie plate, full of meats (jamon) & cheeses, as it transpired that neither a seafood pate nor a nut-based terrine was an option! Who'd have thought, hey? Both ended up with a blanket. Nice environment - although, towards the end, 6/7 people turned up at the next table & one of the boys turned out to be a tad loud? Any, a cheeky little Italian wine, followed by a chilled shiraz - the former being quite flat (& enjoyable), whilst the latter tended to be quite fruity.
- Earlier in the week, did some training. Interesting that there was no time to prepare - nor any additional recompense. Spent three days in the office, so spent a lot of time walking around, helping out. Interestingly, this is also a time when people tell me things, such as their concerns re others - does this mean that they have tried other options & got no traction? Or, that they have no faith in the alternatives?
- Wow - just read the previous post re the 2nd dose! Sorry, it has been how long??? Having gone & got the 3rd dose, it was interesting, as I really do show adverse reactions to viral loading & yet one must do these things, if not for yourself, then for a social good?
- Not sure why - or what the outcomes will be - but, divulged to Sophie some of my concerns re Charlotte ... who'd have thought the workplace could be so political, hey? Anyway, the opportunity for a NOR has opened again & I wanted to 'warn' Sophie that I will do one, but have (extremely) low expectations that it will result in anything tangible!
- Missed the Sunday ride (obviously), but, with a combination of concerns re the state of my health/fitness & the bike, e.g. my tyres, it was felt that it would be best not to go? Pity, because a really good circuit ( & quite flat), good company & the day was really good - mild tempratures, gentle breezes & low humidity. So, spent the day mopping about & sipping whisky <- <sigh>
- It is interesting(?), but it seems that my life is settling into a minimalist state of inertia? I have my coffee on Tuesday & work too long/hard each week - which is probably why I enjoy 'wine with the girls'? Really, nobody cares & yet, I find I am more disappearring into nothingness <- actually, probably more an 'emptiness' due to my dislocation/hesitancy? My peers have faded into absence - not (necessarily) because they have given up, but becuase I am too caustic to deal with (Isuspect) & so I am starved of stimulation, enlightenment and/or, encouragement?
<sigh>
