Bye bye window seat

It's been a long time since I last blogged. Since then, I have been very very busy at work. Sometimes in a good way, a lot of times, not in such a good way.

Our entire branch is moving to a different part of the building as part of the department restructure. As my boss puts it ' I think we drew the short straw on the relocation area'. The thing that pissed me off the most was losing my great window seat.
I will miss the angry and impatient taxi drivers. Also the crazy woman who yells at our building every other week. The blue skies and squally storms. But I think most of all I will miss R who is the nicest colleague in the building and the very first colleague I was introduced to. I will miss him telling me his family stories, about his kids ' they're at a beautiful age, beautiful .. but sometimes.. you have to keep telling youself you wanted them'. I will miss watching him consume huge amounts of white chocolate freddos whenever he's stressed. Sigh.

My new cubby hole reminds me of scenes from 'the office'. Far far away from the windows. Even the window seats in that part of the building aren't good, they face the wall. But at least it feels quite cosy and private. And I have lots of places to pin things up and nice shelves.

So I'm going to make the most of a bad move and 'decorate' my place with things from home. I'm thinking postcards from family and friends , cards, photos.


Change of subject. This is the tuna, tomato and basil pasta that Jo and I had for dinner a few nights ago before I fell sick. Oh yes, another thing, my eyes have improved! My doctor is so pleased with the results (improved vision, not much haziness, normal eye pressure) that I don't need to return for anymore visits!

Hooray. I can see again. (^____^) And it's finally the weekend, so hopefully I can throw off that horrid cold by the weekend and be fit to start over again.
