Where is May going?

It was a relaxed weekend of walking, talking, laughing and having fun. A proper weekend, as I see it. I still occasionally think back to my days of working unusual shifts and it reminds me to appreciate what I have now – regular hours Monday to Friday, with my evenings free and just one weekend a month where I have to go into work.

Nothing to complain about, and I need to keep that in mind, having just spent a week complaining in this blog about slight changes to my worklife (which would actually be better for me financially, if it even happens.) But I’ve promised myself not to mention that whole ‘new position’ stuff all week, so let me move on, by moving backwards.

Saturday I took an early morning cycle down a bridle path while Philippa enjoyed a well-deserved lie-in. We did some house-cleaning duties and then had a nice picnic lunch sitting in the garden. Then it clouded over and threatened rain so we found something fun to do indoors together, and then for some bizarre reason that has escaped me we wasted four hours watching Eurovision.

Yesterday we drove back up into Norfolk and met up with sister Sophie. It still seems weird not to be writing ‘Sophie and Tamara’ but I’m afraid that particular romantic coupling seems to have reached an unfortunate end. They’ve been parted for about four weeks now and I’m not convinced that’s likely to change. I think it’s a huge shame, but Sophie seems okay with it all so it’s not for me to get involved. She was relaxed and smiling rather than tearful and glum so I guess she’s in a good place. We talked about seeing each other more often and that would be fine with us.

We got home in time to see ‘Tomorrowland’ which was a surprisingly enjoyable Disney family sci-fi on BBC2. Bit heavy on effects, and even heavier on the moralising, but a better thing to watch than some over-hyped, over-produced, ultra-political song contest.

Right – that’s enough procrastinating. Time for some actual work!!!

The title of this blog, by the way, was a reference to how quickly this month seems to be passing by, so apologies if you came here thinking this would be speculation on the future of our Prime Minister.
