Into the New..

I’ve been immensely tired today, and yet mentally buzzing. I guess it’s all a result of the week I had – getting into a new routine and trying to learn 547 things in 5 days. I have tried, under instruction and suggestion from Philippa, to take it as easy as possible and let my body recover and my mind slow down a wee bit. Easier said than done, but I’ve given it my best shot. It helps that the weather has been decidedly late-Autumnal: surprisingly cold and very drizzly, so I haven’t felt much like cycling or having a walk to a pub somewhere.  We bummed around the house discussing baby stuff (obviously!) and I got to spend some time in the kitchen cooking. Philippa has done evening meals all this week because I’ve been getting in later, for obvious work-related reasons. So it was nice for me to be able to take my time and put together a monster stir-fry while listening to an NFL podcast. Philippa only got three forkfuls into the meal before her pregnant stomach turned and she had to stop eating, but that’s ok. More than ok, actually, as it means I can have re-fried leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Tonight is all about watching a movie. I can’t decide between “Spotlight” on BBC2 and “Solace” on Film4. So its either two hours of heavy drama about a child sex abuse scandal, or two hours of a gory psychological thriller about a serial killer. And I’m supposed to be relaxing and switching my mind off???
