Daily Diary
11th December, 2023
Monday mornings eh?
6:30am alarm, suited & booted by 7:15am, cycling down a relatively balmy but rain soaked London to arrive at work at sharp 8. Quick flat white and diary entry and raring to go. Dressed in my brand spanking new Super 140s mid-blue suit (Black Friday steal), gorgeous Loakes black oxfords, a striking red tie & pocket square combo.
Except it was a quiet day at work. Quiet being the operative word, to be fair. Nothing burning yet, but lots of tiny tasks to complete. Make a note to start the new year with a more comprehensive, proactive approach to handling by these sorta incidents — but I keep putting it off.
Turn my attention towards a couple of strategic, systemic issues instead. Send the emails, arrange the calls, and do my bit. Now for all of it to come together…at some point.
Whizz back home earlier than usual, take my last couple of calls from the couch while trying to justify getting an Apple TV subscription to the Mrs — who’s been slaving away at an eclectic meal: rib eyes, pepper sauce, onion bhaji, crumpets and butter chicken gravy with more red meat. Lovely.
Watch some “Curb Your enthusiasm” before just chatting & gossiping on the couch. Then couple of chapters of the immensely readable “Richest Man in Babylon” before calling it an early night. Next few days will be busy with visitors and I’ll probably WFH.
Till then!
