You know how, some days, your head turns into some sort of mental jukebox, and plays random tunes to an empty bar?
Well, today, my internal jukebox has had three songs on repeat:
“Here comes that Sinking Feeling,”
“This City never sleeps,”
and
“Better to have Lost in Love”
All end-of album songs by the Eurythmics.
What’s that all about?
Friday - a result when work reminded me that, so long as I don’t actually HAVE to be here for anything, they’re happy for me to work from home occassionally. So, working from home will be an occassional happening.
Left the office @ 4:30 for a nice BTS, with a fairly early finish, which got me home at a decent time. But then I spent too long on PC, so was late to bed.
Still, early awake on Sat, and a day of chores and catching up:
Sunday:
