Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, it's off from work I go!

Used up my last day of annual leave today, and had a much needed day off. Was a nice mix of productivity, laziness and indulgence! Did a boring task I'd been putting off til the last moment, and re-registered/re-taxed my car... the DVLA office was something straight out of Kafka.. get in this line, get a ticket, wait to join another line, fill in a form, join this other line & wait again.. I was glad to make it out of the maze of bureaucracy & back into the sunshine again, sanity intact!

I really love working a 4 day week. It makes all the other days fly in twice as fast. It also makes for an amazing feeling on Friday night - knowing that so many niggly things have been accomplished before the 'real' weekend even starts! I don't know how these full-time working mothers do it, I feel tired & trained just by looking after myself!

At the risk of sounding like one of those annoying 'twitterers' who declare to the world what that they just ate a mars bar, I have really eaten like a Sultan today. Amazing Pancakes & crispy bacon for breakfast from Manchester's 'Muriels Cafe', and a delicious (homemade by the OH) Jerk Chicken 'n' Rice 'n' Peas for tea - it's just as well that gym going has started to feature on my itinerary again...
