It's been an odd week. Husband has been working lots of 12-hour shifts. That is bad enough, but these shifts were 6pm to 6am, so we've only passed each other in the kitchen briefly. Definitely not a small thing to celebrate.However, there have been a few highlights.
- I gave a short talk to a bereavement group on Monday evening, including a meditation on 'blocking out the bad stuff'. Seems an odd hook on which to hang a group, but they were lovely people and (most of them) seemed to like what I had to say. They gave me a huge bunch of carnations to say thank you, which I wasn't expecting.
- On Tuesday, my choir recorded two psalms to be sent for approval to Coventry Cathedral. We are hoping to sing evensong there in the summer. I thought we sounded rather good!
- On Wednesday I had lunch with my good friend Will. We are both freelance and meet up now and then ostensibly to discuss work, but actually for a good old natter.
- Yesterday I went to see Mum again and met her doctor. I've decided to call him Dr Gorgeous McLovely (but not to his face).
- I've also done a fair bit of editorial work amongst the teaching.

In our house it's just me and my mum, and the same thing happens to us occasionally. I'll work from 5.00am til 12.00pm, and she'll work from 1.00pm til 10.pm, so we only see each other briefly. But that's only when she's on lates :)
ReplyDeleteLaura, I often wonder why we make things so complicated for ourselves. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteSounds like a busy week but hope you manage to spend some time with your husband over the weekend. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzanne. I'm hoping for breakfast in bed with the Sunday papers.
DeleteDr Gorgeous McLovely! Hee! Loving Tennant pic ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you manage to get some time with hubby soon!
Thanks, Vikki. Hubby has just poured me a drink and is now in the kitchen rustling up a culinary miracle.
