The Monday blues!

The weather turned mild overnight, so there was no frost this morning. It's set to stay like this all week, which is a relief as I didn't fancy driving to France on Wednesday in a snowstorm!

Keith took me to work this morning and agreed with me about how miserable the journey is. It's so dark I need the main beam on the country roads. What an awful time of year to change our place of work! He dropped me off, and I had a busy shift trying to get as much done as I could in the morning, as I was answering the phone in the afternoon with Kathy. I gave up with the emails as the phones were almost constant! It was not pleasant!

When he picked me up at 4pm, I was in a bad mood, and we queued for ages to leave the hospital grounds, which made me worse! I am not the only one unhappy with the arrangements; Sara now has to leave thirty minutes earlier in the morning and has set her alarm to go off at 6am, like me! And then there's always the worry of managing to find a space...

To cheer myself up at home, I sat and watched a couple of episodes of Ever Decreasing Circles until Sophie got home. She didn't seem that happy either, and I'm just glad we're away this week! I know that traditionally January is a bleak month (thanks Mum and Dad, for having me right in the middle!) and I will try and think ahead to Spring, which will be here soon!

Sophie cooked a delicious chicken stir-fry meal for dinner, and while she was cooking, Keith and I played cards, something we haven't done for a while!
