Today's evasion

This isn't the post I've been contemplating writing for about the last three hours. What I was going to talk about were matters arising from the two posts I wrote on Monday. The reason I haven't? Mostly that what I was thinking of might have been construed as a personal criticism of someone, and also that I might come across as generally ungrateful to those of you who are kind enough to read, and in a few cases, comment on, my blog. Neither of those impressions would have been true, but I don't want to run the risk, particularly as I seem to have rubbed several people up the wrong way of late. Everything I was going to say is in the blog in any case, just not all in one place. perhaps.
What to say instead? It's been a relatively low-key kind of day - I saw my own manager today, for what seems like the first time since the Restoration, and had a brief follow up from yesterday's events. He seems to be as glad to see the back of it as I am, although it is, at least in part, his fault that it's dragged on for as long as it has. Tomorrow is my last day at work before a five day long weekend, and it will be a clear five days off, too, given that I'm on earlies tomorrow, and lates when I start back next Wednesday, so I won'r be wasting two half-days travelling. It won't be much beyond a chill-out weekend, because we're pretty skint at the moment, even by our standards, and I don't get paid until next week, but we're not going to be starving in the garret, or anything as dramatic as that. My daughter is on half-term holiday next week, so I'll get a couple of extra days of her company, too, which is far from being a disadvantage. Unless she's got plans of her own, of course - she's certainly old enough and sensible enough now to do her own thing, within reasonable bounds, and I won't be standing in her way, if that's the case.

Love & best wishes to all
