sunset from the upper balcony – yesterday

Public holiday on Friday, so I’m taking Monday off and giving myself an extra long weekend.

I’m gearing up for one of those Very Difficult managerial conversations next week, which I fear will not be received entirely well. I definitely need to ensure all is prepared tomorrow so I don’t brood for the duration of my four day break – the brooding mostly involving castigating myself for not being a better manageress and that it has come to this.

Other plans involve rest, balcony painting, audiobooks, two tiny runs, maybe a bit of embroidery, maybe a walk, a bit of blogging, maybe even MY 2018 not-resolutions (I still can’t quite believe that January is almost over).
