Weekend

Beautiful drive up to Marlborough Friday night - got onto the A34 just as the sun was going down.  The sky was so beautiful, I haven't seen such a lovely sunset whilst driving along for a little while now, and it really gladdened my heart!  The subsequent muting of all the colours of the landscape were quite magical and a joy to behold!  Then, a little further on, around Hungerford, I was so lucky to see a mass flight of geese, not once, but three times.  It really was spectactular!  As T-bone said, they were probably on their way to migrate somewhere.  I just love the colours and sights of our landscape - never fails to make a big impression on me and quite often moves me hugely (like the geese).

Great night Friday night - meal out in T-Bone's village pub with loads of others - lots of drinking and laughing involved and of course music. Finally fell into bed at 4 am; although had to share bed space with a dog and his bone lol!  Felt a little bit worse for wear yesterday, but after a good sleep I feel a little bit more human today.

Quiet day today - I am going to read and hopefully finish my book (just reading the musings of Mark Radcliffe which I started when Soph was in hospital) which if achieved, will be the first book I have finished for a long time I am ashamed to say .... I have started loads and then get  given or buy another, and unless I get in the habbit of reading every day, other things get in the way (like itunes and music lol!) and the small time I have available just goes .. think I need to make a conscious decision to get to bed at a decent time so I am more fresh for work and read before sleep ... then I would have achieved two things - be better at work and read more!
