Snatched

Worse than an EB, this was just the only photo I took today, grabbed out of the window whilst I was on the phone to VW and we were texting the friends who we met in Borneo as they drove north. They’d sent us a photo of their rain and long traffic queues, and I stuck my phone out of the window to show them our blue skies. It was another lovely sunny (but cold) day and most of the trees are starting to turn golden and red and glowing in the sun. This huge apple tree outside my (2nd floor!) flat hasn’t yet started to change colour, but one advantage of this photo is that I guess it will serve as a reminder of how tall it was once it’s been felled. That is if I ever manage to get agreement between the tenants for the work to be done and get the permissions etc etc….what a palaver!
I spent most of the day in a combination of phone calls dealing with the fallout from yesterday's meetings, food shopping, reading papers for a Board meeting tomorrow,, talking to my financial advisor, cleaning and cooking. I went to collect A from work and she came home for a cup of tea and helped with my kombucha brewing before she went to meet her MRes tutor, then I ran her back to her car and finished the food shopping on my way home. It was good to see her…seems ages since we had a chance to see each other and catch up.
Otherwise I’ve had a sort of persistent sore head today…unusual for me but regular paracetamol didn’t fix it and nor did drinking lots of water, so I’ll have an early night and hope it’s gone by the morning.
