Thank you for the nicely supportive comments on the previous post!! Shame I can't take any of them up, (though, I am planning on a trip to your bit of the world JtL sometime over the summer!) but it's good to know the idea is not a silly one.
I kind of think this weekend is a pivotal one, it's the first weekend I've had to myself for months, possibly years! It's the last one of a break before returning to the last three months of this particular work place, so I've been preparing myself for the return of Early Mornings and Horrid Commuting. Along with getting organised with packed lunches, files ready to be filled with work, ironed work clothes... it's deeply scary how organised I am at the minute.
The Horrid Commuting is going to be less horrid. I've been doing a ghastly bus/train combination for financial reasons, but have concluded my sanity is more important, so will be doing just the train for this next bit of time. It won't actually make a great deal of difference in the mornings, but will mean I get home about an hour and a half earlier in the evenings. It might even mean the return of a bit of a social life - which has been the real casualty of the last few months. It will mean I won't have a bus pass for weekends, but I can live with that for this last bit of time.
It' ll also mean more walking, which possibly won't be a bad thing, either. There has gradually been less and less of me for a while now, and I can only put it down to the fact I've been walking a lot and generally more active in the working day. I have been eating differently, but I wouldn't have said it made enough of a difference to mean I've got to contemplate replacing all my jeans/trousers, except two pairs, which have only just come back into circulation again!!
Then there are up-coming official conversations to be had, official letters to be written, and formal decisions to be implemented. Eek! Time to go and enjoy the sunshine whilst I can, methinks.
