A tea / coffee day

Last day! Huge relief tinged with sadness for a job I had high expectations of and high hopes for achievement and for many complex reasons wasn't right. Ultimately, it is totally the right thing to leave, and all there is such relief and joy about the future.

I spent three hours of my day having tea and coffee coffee with work colleagues, three ladies who are each very special in their own way and who I have such friendship and respect for. I would have loved to work with them long-term. 

I'm not entirely leaving as I will continue to advise and co-ordiante some of the international work. 

Back to Stamford to tired boys, especially the eldest who displays it in a rather trying manner at times amd I think tested his grand parents more than needed. 

Today I'm grateful for
Time spent with three lovely friends / colleagues 
The Floela Benjamin Desert Island Disks, what an amazing lady, I arrived at work with a smile after listening to her
Lovely half hour chat with the husband who called just as I was pulling out of the car park at work feeling a little tearful with relief and emotion
Evening with Granny and G4andpa who have stepped in and helped so much recently, I wouldn't have been able to continue to work so much without them, it helps that the boys love the days they go to Granny and Grandpa

(4 grateful today because it really has been a day to be grateful for many things.)
