Blog ≫ 2021 ≫ Last minute going to work decisions
Clare has had to wait until a message from work as to whether she should go in or not the past two days. Yesterday had more snow than the day before, so we thought that would be a given not to travel in. At the last minute she got the call that it was clear enough at her destination so she should head in. Today has been the same thing, don't leave home until you hear from us, but oh also try not to be late.
Still plenty of snow about, but our road is clear, so I'd imagine the main roads are too. This was yesterday, a lovely sunrise peeking out that is very hard to capture on the phone:
Work went particularly well yesterday, seeing as it was my full day of meetings. I wrote a thing that generates our architecture diagram from a text file, so that we can more easily review it when we change it. If it only exists as an image it's harder to comment on individual changes. A small thing but it went down well, and it achieves one of the things on my list.
Harder for me to update this these days as thing one is using the computer in the daytime and then it's tea and then bed pretty much. Looking forward to a week off next week where I can at least get a lot more sitting about done, even if I don't go out running. Have not been out at all this month, lazy, gosh that's ten days now. I have been on the treadmill a couple of times, but still.
Gigiversaries today, Andrew WK who I was very much looking forward to in 2002 but ultimately disappointed by, The Lilys in 1998 who were a one hit wonder from a Levis advert I think, and The Mighty Boosh which came to Folkestone fifteen years ago today and was great.
I was up very early today as more-or-less usual. I woke a few minutes before Clare's alarm so not such a rude awakening. I did my Duo Lingo French exercises (210 days in a row now) and read a few more pages of The Mirror And The Light, nearly at the end now. It's suddenly not looking so good for Thomas Cromwell! I can hear the boys just about stirring, so time to get their breakfast. I love that they are being woken by those IKEA blinds, still working nicely.
