slowly, slowly…

to work, and slowly slowly back. Accident being recovered on the southbound side of M1 within roadworks this morning was obviously far more interesting than actually driving northwards, and tonight southbound was blocked by another accident further north. So plenty of time ruminating in a stationary car, lovely.

Very very odd to be back in the office, several ppl didn’t acknowledge me at all, I think there’s that “but what do you say” thing going on. One of the project managers did make a point of ringing to welcome me back and to say that he knows he has no idea what I’m going through, but just wanted to say that he’s thinking of me. He’s really lovely, and 10 minutes chat with him was worth a lot. Not sure how happy my team really were to see me – the women were a lot chattier than the men, and that’s not usually the case tbh.

Anyway, survived the day – meant to clear off early but another project manager came around to say hello and stayed for 50 minutes discussing functionality so that was my quick departure gone.

Kids have had a great day at school, it’s full on crafty goodness there atm, and they’ve done T shirt prints, and prints on bags, and made glove puppets. Managed a very quick chat with Ailsa about one of Big’s concerns, the one about what happens at 11, turns out they are thinking of it too. Wonder what a montessori style secondary school would look like? And apparently Small has been doing more and more writing, so Ailsa is going to lend me an alphabet and some pink materials for their holiday period so that if he wants to keep it all up, he can.

WordPress tells me that this is the 2000th post written on this blog. Wow.
