Observations from the week #2

 A more subdued feel to the start of the week - simply work and rest up and process what came the week before.....let it sink in.....

Monday to Wednesday largely uneventful - the build up definitely was heading towards Thursday. I made a nice mix for Paule with winter warmers in it. Winter songs...

42

Turned 42 recently. Didn't end up making it to Iceland as Play Airlines went bankruptcy. Went to Madrid insteady as a Plan B. It worked out well thanks to choice recommendations from Daniel Munoz from the British Council. Paule got me remembering John Coltrane tickets for my bday. Mesmerising. Looked after kids at the weekend and9 walked in the autumn leaves. Separate things. Typing this on a phone real quick but feels liked on 00getting back to the Livejournal Days.

Feb the Feb the Feb so far

So, February has been a very, I don't know how to put it, dramatic and big month so far. We're two weeks in, it's currently Valentine's Day as I say this message in Vilnius, snowing, beautiful.

First week of Dec

What a fucking week. Got back from Vietnam on Monday. Absolutely jet-lagged — like singed hair that’s just been burned. Slept it off pretty well, had a light day, loads of sleep, loads of stodgy food. Honestly can’t even remember half of it, but it took a few days to level up again. Stress has been way lower this week. Each day’s had small wins — little dopamine boosts. Tuesday was good: back at work, knocked out the articles I needed to write, and got a gold-style reply. Felt like a proper win. Wednesday was the real struggle. Had the interview for the existential therapy degree at Middlesex, and it brought some stumbling blocks — technical glitches, awkward moments, and then the kicker: the start date being September next year instead of January. Glad I’d put three irons in the fire and researched other programmes. Ended up just paying and committing to St Mary’s for January. Feel great about that. Feels like being a relegation-threatened team that’s signed Dominic Calvert-Lewin — a ...
