Drinkies……

…… mmmm.  This is the delightful “fruit” and rum based thing that was concocted at Deb’s birthday do on Friday evening.  The most revolting drink I’ve seen for a long time.

No idea if it got drunk by anyone.  I hope not.

Early mornings……

…… don’t seem to be as bad as they used to be. I’ve been swimming every morning for the past two weeks, and it’s a rather nice way to start the day. It’s dark and a bit horrible, and I’m not sure how compos mentis I am at driving at that time in the morning, but I am rather enjoying it.

Stuffed……

…… with lovely food.  Hours later, after having Sunday lunch at Chris & Karen’s, I am still stuffed.  It was lovely, and great to have time to catch up with them, Tony & Lesley.  Not much else got done today, on account of the lie-in, too much food and lying on the sofa watching movies.  I like Sundays like this sometimes.  Mmmm.  Pie.

Lunch in Bakewell……

…… sometimes I really do like my job when I get a proper lunch break.  I spent the morning in Chesterfield and had a 2.30pm appoinment in Bakewell.  This gave me enough time to get there, park up, walk into the town centre and find a cafe to have a proper lunch in.  So much more civilised than sitting at a desk eating a sandwich and dropping crumbs in my keyboard whilst trying to answer the phone and type at the same time.  And I found a decent bookshop which I didn’t have time to explore, so I may have to go back.
