Good Things

I left work at 4 pm on Friday, the first time I've managed to leave that early for months, and I don't have to work at all this weekend.

Nottingham (as usual) avoided the snowy chaos that much of the country succumbed to on Wednesday and Thursday. It did snow a bit but didn't settle on the wet ground, so the worst we encountered was a bit of hail and some icy pavements.

I remembered three dreams in the past week and have just written them up in my dream diary. I'm just hoping that dreaming about stressful work situations helps to relieve some of the stress.

I've been to the cinema four times this month, which is back to my usual quota after a dry spell when I just couldn't be bothered to make the effort. Only one of the films was not to my taste.
