I’m back
For some reason I haven’t managed to find the time to write recently, not quite sure why as I’ve found plenty of time to sit around doing not a lot else.
I have a day off work today which is marvellous. I took a day’s holiday so I could have a slightly extended weekend in Chelmsford with the parentals. Was lovely weekend, starting off with seeing a ballet at the Royal Opera House. My dad got me and my mum very cheap tickets on the very highest seats in the house, the upper slips. They don’t even have proper seats up there, just padded benches. Unfortunately we couldn’t see much unless we stood up, which we did for most of the first act, as it was absolutely fabulous. Amazing music and incredible dancing. When the first act finished we popped down to the local bar to meet my dad for a glass of wine in the local bar. The second act wasn’t so great and we didn’t feel it worth standing up, so we didn’t return for the third act and stayed drinking wine and eating cheese until my dad finished.
My parents are having their loft converted soon (if they can figure out a slightly cheaper way of having it done – they got an estimate last night from the architect which is twice the amount they expected and very very expensive indeed) so we spent the rest of the weekend going through boxes and boxes and boxes of old things. I had to sort so many toys and books from my childhood, very nostalgic! We got rid of a lot of stuff.
Trying to decide what to do with the rest of my day, seeing as I got motivated and have managed to get back to London before lunchtime, I should use the afternoon productively. I was planning about going out somewhere this afternoon, but a lack of money and the inclement weather means that I am having second thoughts.
