Nuts

Having effectively braced for impact as Friday 13th approached, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has come and gone, largely without incident.

There’s also been some good stuff happen, which includes fitting into a size 32R pair of jeans (with a little room to spare - this is a minor miracle in terms of sizing and finding an item of clothing that actually fits me well), finding a Christmas snack which is Pigs in the Blanket flavoured nuts (I KNOW, RIGHT?!) and starting the day seeing this rainbow erupting out of a distant chimney pot.

There is something about a rainbow though, isn’t there? I think it’s one of the few things in life that it is impossible to be grumpy with or about. A rainbow is never acknowledged or noticed with disappointment, receiving instead a greeting of delight and just a little splash of wonder.

Knowing the location of this particular house, I instantly ventured round there to seek the pot of gold, but promptly asked to leave by the occupants and local law enforcement.

Work was work and interestingly, having spoken to a few people there were a lot who had also found this week in particular really tough. Maybe there’s something in the air, who knows?

Whilst the day was already being rounded out nicely by picking the wee ones up from school and spoiling them with pizza and ice cream in front of some episodes of Ultimate Spider-Man, the zenith was reached when news broke of Mr Cummings abrupt departure from No. 10.

The universe does have a rather marvellous way of balancing itself out sometimes, doesn’t it?
