End of the Week is Nigh

So how was your week?  I heard that snow hit NZ for the first time since the 30's.  My cousin in Auckland would have loved it, his wife told me the story of how he saw snow for the first time in England when they were first together and how he couldn't stop looking at it.  It must have been a new experience for thousands.

This week has been a struggle.  Body felt wiped out all week and every horoscope I pick up tells me I've been over doing it.  This week's Grazia scope tells me; "You've earned a good bout of rest and relaxation and perhaps some romance too.  Make sure you get it one way or another."  Hmmm.

We started work at the new building on Monday.  A few teething problems, passes that didn't let you pass, lifts not working, hot water smelling terrible and tasting worse, freezing cold and IT problems, but, one by one, the problems got ironed out.  I decided I'd start to take the stairs.  Two flights of escalators which I walk up then five flights of stairs, which wasn't so bad except, the stairwell exits don't accept the passes yet so you then have to walk back down to catch the lift.  On the plus side, think how toned my legs will be by Christmas.

Tuesday's drive to work was illustrated with the most beautiful deep pink sky framed by dark grey storm clouds, Wednesday's had the glow of hot orange, Thursday evening's was simply on fire just before the night sky engulfed it.

I was up late chatting on Thursday night and so didn't get up until 7am on Friday, very late for me.  Aiming to start as I mean to go on, I jogged for 50 minutes then immediately started sneezing like I had an allergy.  I feel like I'm getting a cold so I've taken some cold remedy to see if that stops it in it's tracks.

So, you know that I'm off work for thirteen days?  I think I may have mentioned it ;)  I have a lot to pack in, really nice things, mainly just catching up with friends and family which I'm ashamed to say I neglect a lot of the time so I intend to do some serious catching up.

The fashion backlash against the Duchess of Cambridge has begun, (that didn't take long did it?)  Vivienne Westwood has criticised everything from the eyeliner to Kate's "ordinariness."  If Kate is ordinary, Lord help the rest of us.  How is she supposed to dress?  She looks stylish and immaculate, she supports the struggling UK high street, when did all of this become so terrible and ordinary?  It's a good job Ms Westwood can't see me just now.
