April Skies

Really struggled to rip myself away from her last night; both still chatting, cuddling but...needed to. Phone on silent; 13 missed calls in the 17 minutes I took to get home. Probably best I didn't notice until I stepped off the bike otherwise I'd still be there now....

Up to cars hissing by my window; not good when you're out on the road for the day. Then I looked out and it was worse than it sounded.....

In the end I was out 0745; caught a couple of early birds and was in work for 0900 team meeting. Lemon drizzle cake helped, as did a couple of pointed discussions and I have 100 new jobs to do; no time limit; just chip away. So gonna start the logistics of that tomorrow; last time I got 40 and had a blast, so here's hoping...!

And at 11, paid lottery to Mrs P, chatted Nic / Sharon about Sunday; agreed 27th as a next date for mountaineering and then went to see a man who didn't know what day it was..... Pouring down by now; and a 7 miles hike to darkest Wester Hailes; via canal tow path; mostly. Big Cigs tags!

First one wasn't in; but the door was unlocked; I'm looking forward to cancelling that one....

And then - was supposed to pick up laptop but was so wet, I bolted for home and dried out, change of clothes, mug of soup and back out. 'Stalked her' (key is still with Ll) -she had no idea and was appalled she hadn't spotted me; but quick handover and off for last 2 nearer home which were really sad...

Home, did some admin, blah and sort of drifted off, tired, beaten into submission by cold as much as anything.

And quiet evening; domestic stuff. Lots of chats with her re: money; pay day and skint; but limited amount that can be done; I'm sympathetic but it'll take time. Quite a bit if time...
