Love Persevering

My Dear Princess and Dear Friends,

The banality of work is sometimes comforting. I went back into the office today and sat on my own. I just wasn't in the mood for company, I just wanted to look at data. 

At lunchtime I went for a coffee and decided to try a Croque Monsieur at "La Cloche" the ooh la la Francais coffee place where you go if you are a bit posh. 

I wanted to see if it was just a glorified ham and cheese toastie. Which is so WAS. Utterly glorified! I was quite taken with it. 

I took a picture to send to Ellie to make her laugh. And that was the only picture I took today so I am breaking my "no blipping food" rule on account of blip emergency. 

The photo DID make Ellie laugh and it turned out she was in the office too. I'm so glad she was. She is a tonic. She is sunshine personified. And this despite the fact that she's been having a really hard time of it lately. 

In her case, it is work. Her entire team has been shat upon and now they are all peed off and kind of unofficially on strike. So she is the only one actually working. It is sort of weird for her. Because she sympathises with them - but on the other hand their attitude is not helping HER, particularly.

Theoretically her team has my time for 2 hours a week which they have never called upon. So I told her to invite me to THINGS and we will do STUFF together. This seemed to cheer her up, so it was a mutual cheering up, if you will. 

Don't misunderstand me. I will never not feel sad about Dave. But that is also because I loved him so much. And this pain is nothing compared to how happy my memories of him make me. Love perseveres. 

And yes I know I'm paraphrasing WandaVision. Sometimes Marvel can be quite deep. So eff off.
