In The Office


 My office window is full of houseplants. 
They shield me from the view of the nasty new cottage behind Bwthyn y Llan 
I’ve been meeting my fellow students on line this morning. 
I start my counselling course in September.
I particularly liked the look of two of them. 
Kind faces, nice way about them.

I had to sneak off for a few minutes as there was an urgent knock at the door, One villager I know was having a bit of a panic attack and suddenly needed to go to the next village for a prescription. 
We have just arrived back all calm. 
Calming panic attacks is something I do well…I have the boring voice for it.

An old friend is coming to lunch in half an hour and so I’m making her a chicken and mango salad to eat outside in the sun. 
I’m catching up with another friend later. 
But I said I won’t be eating or drinking alcohol if I go out. 
I want to lose some weight 

I have always been chunky but once in the groove that is healthy eating I can shed the pounds like a good un…..my downfall is shift work where discipline goes out of the window when tiredness and apathy take over. 
( and before the lectures start , I don’t begrudge my haggis and black pudding breakfast in Findhorn the other morning….it was bloody lovely) 

Before my guest arrives, I’ve managed to book tickets for a guided tour of the Colosseum for Saturday. Fabio the concierge from our hotel suggested it.  We have been corresponding by email for weeks now like clandestine lovers. He works the night shift and likes to add to his emails, little flourishes of interaction , such as “ John ! You are emailing late this evening” and “ I hope you are not flying easyJet, always a poor service given” 
I may be a sad sack and send him a Christmas card…..

I feel happy today. Happy that things seem to be clicking into place. 
My nephew has just informed me that the Dr Who experience ,I had  treated him to in between comic con visits was cancelled ….I’ve booked us to see My Fair Lady instead which will be nice as neither of us has never seen it. 
I’m so pleased, I thought I might have been all Sci fi-ed out!
