7th December, 2023
Woke up with only work on my mind. Hasn’t happened in years. I know I take the piss often, but I thoroughly enjoy what I do. I am loving, living, learning it. Went for my bottle green suit, white shirt, knitted navy tie & pocket square combo today.
Looked the part, as I settled in to a packed early morning tube to Bank station.
Work ridiculously hard today — back to back from 8am till 6pm. Returned home exhausted but content. Taking the tube is super pricey and I miss my bike, but the Mrs won’t have me cycling in December. The roads are too slippery apparently. And the cold would kill me. And my sinuses would erupt again. Fair enough.
Anyway, dinner was minced beef and rice with THREE, yes three, crumpets. Loved it — soaked in butter, fluffy and melt in my mouth. We polished off what was remaining of the Black Forest trifle, and binge watched more of “The Patient” on Disney.
We then spent the next hour doing our monthly finances — moving money around, saving a tiny bit, investing a tiny bit, creating multiple accounts for our monthly budgets. Fun times. We’ve decided we need to start saving from the new year, especially if we wanna have a family & buy a London house — so this was a dry December run.
All in all, a productive, tiring, eventful but oddly typical workday.
Now on to Friday!
