ffox shirley is going to chase alex about my senior role. pray for me.
i have had two power cuts today, so was offline for a solid hour and a half. very annoying but also quite nice to have an excuse to sit out in the sunshine in the back garden and relax. chris was so sweet, he was out and i rang him to say about it and he came home in case i wanted a coffee because he had some in the thermos. as he came through the door the power came back on - but only for five minutes!
my funeral dress arrived - it's a little big in the shoulders but i think i ought to be able to pin it to my bra straps so it stays in place. its very cute. but also covered enough that i feel modest in it, so eminently suitable.
took moose to the country park when i finished work, and wandered around the woods. tried to take a self timer selfie of the three of us, and it only sort of worked because the light was behind us so the exposure level is a bit off. oh well. it was a lovely walk, and i enjoyed being out and about in nature. i didn't want to leave the house until i got there, but it was so nice to be out and a firm reminder that i need to push myself to do things i don't want to do more often. my watch says i've walked four miles but only done 7.5k steps - chris' watch is newer than mine and says he has done more steps than me. grr.
came home and made a weird hodge podge dinner - mexican pulled pork with sour cream, salad and corn on the cob. was very tasty. chris is watching the football now, and i am catching up on my journalling with an expensive hydrating sheetmask on. its making me laugh that my phone still recognises my face even when i look like michael myers. might stick my headphones on and listen to some audiobook and do some sewing...
