Yesterday evening we were too tired to cook. Turns out that settling into a new job is quite exhausting! I am enjoying it but I am tired. Mr E had to deal with an unexpected challenge at work so didn’t feel like cooking either. So, we picked up some takeaway and the cats were thankful as well…


What is it with cats and paper bags or boxes?
Today I work from home again in my old job (I do that on Tuesdays and Fridays until the end of March) and it’s a good thing too as storm Eunice is heading our way this afternoon. It’s apparently going to be so bad that all trains will stop running after 2 pm and in the city I work in all public transport has already been suspended since 10 am, which means that all the buildings at “my” university are also closed for the day. I am all settled in at my permanent spot at our dining table…

The flowers surrounding me are from my work earlier this week and from Mr E’s work last week (he parked his flowers here after changing the water yesterday).
I don’t have that much work to do today, which feels good. During my meeting with my old boss this morning we also agreed to cancel these weekly meetings we have and just meet when needed (which won’t be much!). So, all that and the weekend almost being here and sitting in a sea of flowers makes me feel quite happy and cosy. Yes, there are also down sides to the day with mini-me having Covid (so far it all remains mild with her, just a little cold and she feels bored) and Junior needing to travel to his hotel for work in a little while before the storm really kicks in. Still, it feels quite easy for me today to look at the bright side of life and maybe I can also spread the joy a little with this song from my all time fave comedy film, Monty Python’s The Life of Brian.
I wish you all a good weekend!
