Day 27

A relaxing Saturday, with not a lot to report! Read, watched telly, went to town, chilled!

  • Got a fair bit of book (The Subtle Knife) read after a few days of limited progress
  • Posted on main blog and composed two (2!) entries being published tomorrow
  • Did more exporing of Apple's iStore and found more podcasts to listen too!

Day 26

A VERY good day, for reasons that will become clear in future positives in this column... For now, content yourself with the following:
  • Went to Bristol and got some Christmas Shopping done
  • Spent 4 year old John Lewis vouchers on an iPod Shuffle
  • Paid a pre-Christmas visit to see my cousin at work

Day 25

I've just realised that I never posted last night! So here goes:
  • Had lovely evening in pub with housemate and friend.
  • I managed to clear my desk of a few chores - leaving just two must do pieces of work for Monday - my last day before Christmas.
  • Housemate returned home from a couple of days away with work with news that he had won a prize of airline flights... so potentially a nice holiday in the works for next year!

Day 24

Well, another day with a long lunch - we had our work Christmas lunch today. Had evening on own, so half watched telly and did a couple of things that needed done on PC - although quite tired.
  • Had good drive to work, thinking about blogs and options going forward.
  • Prepped main blog post for tomorrow - am really pleased to be keeping up frequency this month.
  • Christmas lunch was lovely - I had Lamb Shank which was delicious!
So there you have it, more positives from the widow's world!

Day 23

A bit of a non-day at work, and an early start too, so no sunrise to cheer my journey! There were positives, though:
  • I've finished Northern Lights by Philip Pullman - now on to the next one.
  • I had a nice lunch courtesy of one of the product providers we use.
  • Arranged accommodation at one of my bestest friends' for the first night of my Christmas break.

Day 22

A frustrating day at work, and a busy evening, at least initially. In amongst it all, some positives:
  • I've mentioned this a few times, but it's that time of year - there was a lovely wintery sunrise as I drove to work today.
  • I've written and scheduled posts for my main blog for tomorrow and the next day - it's nice to be ahead!
  • I had an errand which meant visiting a former colleague - cue a catch up and a bit of a natter - which ate up my lunchtime and held her back from work!
Anyway, all this blogging is holding me back from sleep - early start tomorrow too - joy!

Day 21 - 3 weeks!

So, another weekend comes to an end and after 4 days off, it's back to work tomorrow! Joy! But enough of that, I'm feeling positive!
  • Managed to get Christmas cards today and therefore feel organised...
  • Had lovely time this evening with guests round for part 2 X Factor Final
  • Am now getting to the climax of my book, which is fantastic!
