The calm before the storm

Epping Forest - before life went bonkers again...

Afternoon all!

Well I hope you are all having a lovely restful day.  Those of you who dip into this blog on a regular basis will know that, this year, I have vowed to take it all a little bit easier.  You will also be aware that, last week, I had an offer accepted on a flat.  AND arranged to have a wee art exhibition in Farringdon.  If you know me personally you will also know what I'm not so good at taking it nice and slow and, even with the best of intentions, my New Years Resolution was always going to be something I would struggle with.  And events over the last 14 days have not made it any easier...

It doesn't help that I can't say no to a little bit of fun too.  This week I've started choir again, caught up with some art friends over mushroom and stilton pie and wine (as it LOTS of wine) and indulged in a bit of girly time oggling Jude Law in Henry V and dissecting his, er, "performance" over pizza and, yep, more wine.  Which means that it is Sunday afternoon and, despite my best intentions, I'm starting to feel a bit antsy about all the stuff I should have done - and not quite managed. 
 
I think I need help.

Anyway, on that note, I'm going to crack on with a bit of writing, research my trip to Bristol next weekend (I WILL have a mini-break, I WILL!) and do my knee strengthening exercises before making a veggie stew for my lunches next week and a spot of dinner.  As Virginia Woolf said, "One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well..."  


Wish me luck.  I think I'm going to need it...
