Back to Work, Hannah Singing, Sweaty Again, Podcasts, Lidia’s Wedding Reception, Autumn’s Here

Today is a back to work day so I’ll need to sleep in the day time ready for the long night’s stint. Having stayed up all night again by the time Deb came downstairs I was falling asleep on the sofa, having finally abandoned the net a little while earlier. While she and the kids got ready for the day I drifted in and out of consciousness. I was half asleep when they left and semi awoke to the music of the Jeremy Kyle show. I half watched another bunch of semi literate family members threatening each other with violence but didn’t really get the gist of it; probably that was the gist of it anyway with many of these families violence seems to be their alpha and omega. So, to bed I told myself only to discover that I was once more fully awake. I returned to the PC for an hour or so until I tired sufficiently to make the trip up the stairs to Bedfordshire. I did have an amusing exchange on twitter with

Slept most of the day drifting in and out of various podcasts until I was woken by Hannah returning home, with Deb, singing loudly. Nat had come home an hour earlier but I hadn’t heard him. I drifted off again, eventually, until Deb came and got me out of bed at 6:00 PM. Downstairs Hannah was besides herself with excitement about going to a wedding, well the reception, and kept urging Deb and Nat to go even though it wasn’t due to start until 7:30. They did leave at 7:30 leaving me to finish getting ready for work. Left Home just before 8:00 and arrived at work 30 minutes later once more bathed in sweat. You just can’t win, if it’s warm you sweat anyway and if its cold you sweat under your coat. Either way arrived and upon entering the building was immediately drenched in perspiration. It’s not been busy tonight, surprisingly given how cold the weather’s turned but I’m trying to get into my winter mindset as looks like autumn has arrived early.

Back to Work and Very Sweaty

Tonight I was facing the first night (back at work) of my three night stint; it’s back full time next week. Because of this the day held little of consequence for me. I‘d stayed up most of the night in order to sleep during the day and this I duly did. I’ve no idea what the kids did while I slept because whatever it was did not entail them making sufficient noise to wake me up. The moral is obvious – if you’re going to be naughty then being naughty quietly is the better strategy.


I woke eventually at about 6:00 PM, had a bite to eat, beat the children (working on the principle that they must have been up to something and that if they hadn’t then this would, instead, act as a deterrent to future miscreant behaviour…it worked for My Mother) goodbye and cycled to work. I’m not so sure that cycling is the best decision I’ve made recently; because by the time I arrived I was drenched in sweat and feeling as if I were about to suffer from a bout of the “Vapours”! I resolved, in future, to bring a towel so that I might take advantage of the ablutions, on site, to cool myself down. The night passed slowly and things were quite busy, early on, given the time of year. When things did quieten down I took the opportunity to catch up on last weeks blog posts. Eventually 8:00 AM arrived and I cycled home. Once more, on arrival I was bathed in sweat such that it appeared that I had availed myself of the services of a sauna rather than simply cycled a few miles. Well I think I’ve stretched this post out enough, I’ve still got to write tomorrow’s and the next days because once again I’m using the quiet of the night, the last this week, to catch up on backlogged blogs…Happy Friday Everyone!
