Greetings to you all! It has been a while. In truth I've had my laptop put away for the last ten days or so as I have been off. Don't want to pick up work messages when I'm off. But I'm here now.
September is often pleasantly mild in my small part of Hertfordshire. And so after a cold, grey and wet August the Indian summer has come here. Outside the sun is shining and it is warm. Not been up to much today, just a brief foray into town.
Sometimes it is good to do nothing on a day off. So here I am. My week off was actually pretty good. Went to the seaside for four days to visit dad. Saw so many friends including some I've not seen in many years. Always good to catch up with people. I came home on Tuesday and then had my friend Marie visit for the weekend.
We had a very pleasant walk through the woods to The Waggoners on Saturday for a couple of pints. It was the first time I have been through the woods without a guide, only took one wrong turn and we made it okay. Yesterday I cooked roast chicken before dropping her off at the station.
Back to this afternoon I'm listening to Byrd's 3 part mass which is glorious. Love a bit of Tudor music but has been some time since I listened to any. I think I will read for the rest of the afternoon.
My head is still a little uneasy about the coming change in my life. However awful the present might be going into the unknown of change can be daunting. There were a number of administrative issues setting things up but everything is in place now. I will start my new job on 15th November.
I still have my kitchen to keep me sane though. I think tonight it will be some Thai stir fried chicken with chilli and basil. I'm supposed to be going out with my friend Naima tomorrow. Postponed from last Thursday I hope it pans out this time.
Take care out there. More soon.
I Heard a Voice.
