I hated the world and all its inhabitants this morning.
I was relatively cheerful first thing today, enjoying the only benefit of daylight saving - the short short time when driving in to work means dusk & sunrise and I'm not yet driving home in the dark.
Then I got to work, logged into my PC, and discovered that without prior notice or discussion with me, my boss had volunteered me to work overtime tonight. I'd already agreed to work overtime on Wednesday this week - just to be clear that's the extremely unsocial hours, way past my bedtime, 10 pm start overtime on both days. I may have over-reacted slightly, spending half the morning stewing over it till the bile was oozing from every pore & orifice (lovely image that, isn't it?). Eventually the decision was made not to go ahead with the one tonight so I more or less instantly felt much better, and when I popped out at lunchtime to experience the lovely warm sunshine that made me feel even better.
I had a great weekend with my Dad & his wife visiting us. We went out to dinner to the always wonderful Royal Oak in Paley Street - amazing food, lovely booze, excellent staff & service, beautiful building... It's got it all. My starter of barbecued squid & chorizo was incredible and I really want to eat it again. And again. And again... Followed by red mullet & John dory and then a marvellous brown butter panna cotta with chocolate mousse & banana ice cream.
Sunday morning I had a mysterious headache for some reason, no idea why :-) I was also oddly not very hungry until nearly lunchtime, possibly because I ate so much the night before. The full stomach, mixed booze, and stimulation of a dinner out meant I slept very little and was really lazy yesterday. It's also possible that that fed into my rage this morning. Anyway. It didn't happen and hopefully won't in the future.
Food today:
Breakfast: bacon & mushroom scrambled eggs
Lunch: beef salad, bag of crisps
Dinner: chicken salad
Snacks: cashews, Bounty
