Haiku, then Random Roryness


Nice temperatures
Spring has definitely sprung
And made me bouncy!

What a beautiful couple of days we’ve had. I walked outside yesterday lunchtime and it was like stepping forward in time three months. It was like SUMMER, I tell you!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - “Global warming? YAY!!!!”

It’s really hitting home now how different my life is with a regular working pattern. Those shitty shifts they put in place at the supermarket played havoc with your social life and took out at least three or four evenings a week. Bad enough in Winter but bloody horrible once Summer arrives. Barbecues and evening walks aren’t a right and they’re not regular, they’re a luxury and they’re rationed.  Now I’m finishing every day at 5pm? Man, the possibilities are endless!
Now it’s light until gone 7.30 I can cycle every night if I choose too. I’d die by the end of a fortnight, but I COULD do it if I CHOSE to. What a difference. And what a relief. And what a reminder of how awful things were before. And what a motivation to stick at this job, even on the bad days, and make it work and make it sustainable. These hours are glorious and I am determined to do whatever it takes to keep them.

Now I’m off to disturb the quiet stillness by bashing the Hell out of my drumkit.
