Read all about it…. It’s not you, it’s me….
So the phony war is over, the secret almost out. I met with work yesterday and had a two hour meeting where I stated my views and finally I tendered my resignation. They seemed surprised that I could want to…

Final answer?
It is the beginning of the end, no longer the end of the beginning. It makes me sad when I should be happy for what lies ahead. So I have been asked to take my time to consider…. Sounds like…
Annoyed and sweaty, but seeking reorganisation…
My life seesaws at the moment but generally I am not happy. I don’t skip down the street to work, I can’t skip but if I could I wouldn’t. I can’t stand London, I am currently sweating my nuts off…

What did you want to be? A Fireman?
Well I decided to get the tube to work for speed’s sake this morning and am currently stood on a train waiting at the platform at clapham north due to a fire alert at kennington… I may well be jumping…

And off we go… One step at a time

WTF???
Watching rugby? Playing on my PS3?? None of the above. Just getting to kennington on the northern line. Long day, made even longer by my Italian colleagues leaving it till gone 5pm before they gave me the pricing I needed…
New life? I’m in
So all this week I have had a seat on the tube… Most unexpected but pretty nice when my leg really isn’t up to much. I ran 10k home last night in a slightly slow time but ok, it felt…

Time to pay the piper….
Very sluggish start to Monday…. On a moderately full northern line train feeling warm, and not in a nice way. I’ve already pictured the faces this morning. “I wanted to talk to you about this on Thursday” really meaning to…
Enjoy the journey…
What’s this? No early morning tube journey? I had a meeting this morning in Middlesex that I drove to which not only meant I got a lie in but I missed traffic rush hour and tube rush hour. I am…
The Joy of the Tube…
Mmmmm, the long weekend has been and gone. I am now up an hour earlier, a stone heavier and feel like I need salad for lunch and a pick me up. Back on the tube what do we have?! A…

Convert thought into action
So, after what will now forevermore be referred to as the locked out incident yesterday, I start a journey to work thinking what can I do with my hour and a half today? Go up the shard? Shop for shoes?…
And the love in continues…
Still locked out! I have now bought some things for Easter, walked back to work and found it locked. Made some calls and come to the delightful Toynbee Town Hall next door to work. This place is lovely, tastefully decorated…
Locked out…
Of heaven? No just work…. I was in at the front door of work at 7.20am to discover I had left my keys at home. Go fund a cuppa and wait for next one in, Ripton’s usually in shortly after…

Groundhog?
Groundhog day? Same journey to work, same you, nothing ever changes….?! Well that’s a bit depressing, everything changes each day. You change, a new combination of clothes, a new place to squeeze onto the tube, a new hair out of…
Monday, time for a change?
Monday’s have a tough ask really. Everyone expects them to be the hard end of the week so there aren’t many accolades for the day on the whole. I’m thinking that’s worth changing. Its a little prejudiced, what has Monday…
One more day
So with Jean Valjean ringing in my ears I start my journey to work. If only one more day. I think that’s what I yearn for, a target till I start my new life, a far more interesting, adventurous version…

That Friday Feeling
Surely there is no better feeling than that tantalising, expectant, beautiful feeling that builds from a tiny speck in the distance on Monday to the full on crescendo of joy at the end of the working day on Friday? Freedom…
