Today was the last free day we had before our trip away. There are a few more days before we go, but they’re not free. They have annoying stuff like lab work and spreadsheets lying in wait for me. And potentially a report waiting to leap out from behind a Tuesday afternoon and be dealt with.
So, obviously, we sorted everything out for our trip today.
It being our last free day.
No. No, we didn’t.
Instead of that, we sat outside in the sun with friends and discussed fracking, Theresa May and the ridiculous price of private education in South Africa. The conversation was lubricated by several (or more) bottles of wine, a couple of Bloody Noras* and (perhaps to a lesser degree) by some non-alcoholic gin and tonics. Mmm. I know.
For the record, I regret nothing – except maybe the G&T thing.
Anyway, consequently, there will be some panic this week. Hopefully not too much, but it would be foolish to not take the opportunity to worry a bit.
And I know all about not taking opportunities.
* A Bloody Nora is like a Bloody Mary, but made with Henderson’s Relish.
