Mercury in retrograde...

Ugh! It was horrible getting up this morning, and Sophie woke me up from a dream. I felt so groggy! After a coffee and a shower, I felt a lot better, and Keith drove me to work so he could go shopping.

Sara is off all week, and I have had some asks to complete for her, which kept me busy, along with dealing with emails. We had a couple of replies from emails I'd sent last week, and rather than accepting what we'd said, both people argued with us again. That was annoying!

We also had problems with our app and online bookings, so the phones were busier than normal. I could certainly tell that Mercury was in retrograde! Nicola went on the rampage in the office, taking papers off the walls and asking if we really needed them! She said she doesn't want papers littering up our desks when we move! The other staff members rely on them for information, and Kathy looked very annoyed! Nicola also started taking off papers from Sara's noticeboard, which I thought was unacceptable. She should wait until Sara returns next week!

I was mightily glad to escape at 4pm and go home! We drove home via Hannington tonight, as the chicane going into Holcot is always busy. I love driving from Hannington to Walgrave, and the trees looked beautiful silhouetted against the late afternoon sky.

It was certainly colder today, and Keith had put the heating on before he'd left to pick me up from work. We let Sophie prepare the traybake/bubble and squeak, and the meal was lovely. However, Sophie felt a bit queasy after she'd eaten, which was unlike her.

Keith and I watched last night's I'm A Celebrity, and saw the contestants cope with some truly horrible challenges!
