The day of reckoning

When I arrived in the car park this morning, Sara's car wasn't there, which surprised me. She normally texts me if she's off, but I received an email from her explaining that she'd taken an impromptu day's holiday.

Our office felt warm, but when Kathy arrived, she said it had been terrible last week in the heat. She had actually felt ill and had had to leave the office for 10 minutes to try to cool down. This was bad news; I could see we had new fans delivered, but all they do is move warm air around. There has been no mention of getting aircon installed, even a small unit to cool things down.

 

My shift passed uneventfully, and I managed to catch up with all the emails before I left. When Sophie arrived home in the evening, we sat down and worked out our expenses from the holiday. The total wasn't as bad as I'd thought and included lots and lots of wine, beer and little mementoes. We have nothing planned now until January, but we're hoping we may have a sneaky trip to Belgium perhaps in October. We'll see. I think both Sophie and I were suffering from a bout of the post-holiday blues!

Dinner tonight was leftover Chinese takeaway, and Keith and I watched the first episode of Best Medicine after we'd eaten. It's the US equivalent of Doc Martin and was almost word-for-word the same. We stuck it out, but I'm not sure we were totally enthralled!

Our wine and beer haul!
