Friday 15th November 2024

We made it to Friday at last.

Though to get to the weekend, I would have five straight hours of meetings and presentations.

It was going to be a long seven hours.

Made harder by the fact I fell back into a deep sleep after the alarm went off, so Jools woke me as she left for yoga.

I had 50 minutes to come to, get up, get dressed, make coffee, put bins out, etc, etc.

I didn't do it all before seven, so was quarter past once I logged on.

Eyes down.

Not much to tell of work, other than it was almost without break, and by midday, I needed a brew. One last meeting before I could finish at half one, pack up and be ready for when Jools came back and we could go to Jen's, as she felt well enough for cards.

We grabbed a couple of pizzas from Tesco on the way, so, they went in the oven when we arrived and we were eating ten minutes later.

Jen is doing well, and John hopes he will no longer be needed at some point next week. One of us would take over, but I am off to Denmark again on Monday, perhaps for the last time.

Eyes down for cards as usual, and try to get it all done before half five when we would have to leave, as I am doing rather well in the music quiz this month. Just before we leave, Jools wins the jackpot and we were free to go.

In the quiz I got a single point, but that was all I needed to take over the overall lead and Andrew failed to score. Only problem now is that I am away next Friday, and will be on a plane somewhere between Denmark and LCY at six. So, no points for me next week.

And then to more football: Denmark v Spain on the laptop, whilst listening to Scotland v Croatia.

And like that, the evening passes.
