Day 172 Week 24

Well it's the budget today and can't get excited about it as feel totally detached from most of the categories affected. It's like I've slipped under the financial radar. That said, if they slash further education, could be well and truly stuffed.

Just got home and visited friend on the way back and had a chat and a laugh and a delicious cup of coffee. Then apologised to another friend as she and her husband had very kindly included me in an invitation for drinks on Sunday evening but owing to a state of being totally knackered, having tried to call once when the phone was engaged to explain lack of attendance, completely forgot to ring back and must have appeared very rude. She was very sweet though and understood both the affects of knackerdom and an attention span the length of a bewildered gnat.

Spring seemed to definitely be in the air today.

Sat in the park at lunchtime in warm sunshine with colleague putting the world to rights. Love the people I work with, they're such good company and have a tremendous sense of fun, but that's not meant to imply they're not completely professional within the working environment. Functioning in the field we do with some of the students we have means a healthy sense of humour is sometimes the only thing keeping you sane.

There were the inevitable moments of irritating tail chasing though and that was a pain. Then am mindful of how different the consequences of my moments of ire must be to those of C and in a split second am humbled. What constitutes a bad day for me probably doesn't even register on his scale.

Oh Lord back to the dread.

Not heard from H. Heard from R and she's fine thank goodness and does have said teeshirt. Still no news from C.

Fellow soldier's Mum still poorly bless her and my nice new friend is with his son again.

Please God all can be fine.

Speak soon. A soldier's Mum x
