Frustration

Work was good and bad. I had the good challenge of some new instructions that need to be concluded by tomorrow afternoon. I knew what I needed to do and cracked on. Until the whole of our IT system crashed at 11am. For four hours. Hmmm. I had to take an early lunch before I exploded with frustration.

When I got back it became obvious the system was not coming back soon so I stamped my feet and a laptop was produced on which I was able to work round the problem. For the next few hours I was the only one on my floor really able to work. In all I lost about two and half hours but managed to get everything out by 4.30pm which was better than nothing. The ball is in their court now. It'll be a busy day tomorrow. Let's hope our systems can cope!

I bought these ingredients (blipped) at lunchtime in readiness for the Thai green curry I've enjoyed preparing this evening. It's for a final family dinner at mine tomorrow evening before the Aussies head off to France skiing and then home. I have to admit it's looking and tasting pretty good :)

I'm very pleased to find that keeping the daily electronic food diary has, today at least, made me modify my eating without a huge effort just by being more aware of the calorie intake and I'm pleased with that. Who knows if I can keep it up. Let's see.
