having a bad brain day
Oct. 27th, 2010 08:24 pmMy Christmas cactus appears to be of the opinion that the festive season is almost upon us. And they are setting up Winter Wonderland in town. The Christmas Craft Fayre will be next - that one opens exactly six weeks before Christmas, and functions as my starting pistol: this is your six week warning; commence Christmas shopping now!
Last year doesn't seem all that long ago...
The London trip went off well, but I'm absolutely knackered now and have been wandering around like a zombie for most of the day. Probably a good thing my boss is on holiday this week!
It probably didn't help that the trip was preceded by quite an energetic weekend, what with one thing and another. On Saturday I went for a lovely looooooong walk around Westonbirt Arboretum to see the autumn colours, which were stunning. Of course, it was cold and poured with rain for most of the day, because that's just what my luck is like lately, but still worth the visit. There's a lot of ground to cover, though!
Then came London, setting off off at half past yawn in the morning, which made for a very pretty journey, what with the glorious golden sunrise and the frosted fields shrouded in mist and all. Also, since I know several people who have had problems with Megabus ranging from minor to major, I feel honour-bound to point out that it has always run like clockwork whenever I've used it, and this trip was no exception!
( Cut for pictures and rambling )
Was very impressed that Megabus arrived back in Cardiff bang on time. Bang on, to the minute. Not sure how the driver managed to time that one so exactly! Got home to find two rather cross cats waiting to greet me and express their annoyance at my being away overnight. Also found that they had apparently spent most of the past two days dancing around on my kitchen floor with muddy feet! Oh, the joys of pet ownership. Poppy has barely moved from my lap since I got home, although Alfie is rather more blasé about the overnight abandonment!
Have been absolutely brain dead all day today, after all that activity. Roll on the weekend!
