Sweeping out snakes

 Following from a relaxing hour of tea and toast I set about on a big sort. We need to list, pack and weigh everything we're hoping to bring back. It was easier on the way out, in many ways, because we could just put stuff in our loft. The hard bit it going to be when we have to get the remaining stuff in a couple of suitcases. 

BigA set off for a week in the UK on Wednesday and we miss him lots. And my boss and colleague Tommy have also set off for London and will be home for over a week. So far being acting Head hasn't made much difference. I'm not doing any of her meetings so we'll see what the week ahead feels like. 

Work has been very frustrating this week. I am feeling rather fragile and so no where near as tolerant as I like to be. Mainly just silly little things that I feel irritated by, lack of common sense and over reaction. But there were some highlights, mainly with the students. I find the adults the hardest. 

And on Friday we got to see the film of A's production - mostly very good quality but her mic crackled a bit. 

There is another fuel shortage and we don't have much fuel in our cars. But A and I really needed to get off campus and so yesterday we set off to do a bit of food shopping and get a milkshake. It was lovely to get out. Many lines for fuel but happily we got back quickly. We of course hope this one doesn't last. 

A rather unremarkable week. Except perhaps Bruno bringing in a snake last night and A and I getting it out if the house while I was just in my pants, a jumper and slippers. BigAr's newly set up CCTV will be fun to watch on that one. 

So much for my relaxing early night
