Monday

Welcome to Monday. Walked into work again, and realising that it actually is only about as far as I used to walk to school - so a half hour trot if I keep up the pace - and that I've actually been benefiting from the exercise. And walking gives me time to think, even if I don't want to; no computer-based distractions out on the road. Whether this is a bad thing, given my current tendency to depression, I don't know.



Set up a tonne of reactions this morning, which will all hopefully be ready tomorrow and I'll have cut a huge slew through the backlog of work I needed to do. This should be the case, considering I've done all of these before and only need to fully characterise the intermediates which I used up last time around. Luckily I have a defined list rather than a nebulous 'variety' to make. Decisions, they are useful tools to deal with a life :-)



Watched several episodes of the Supersizers over the weekend, that's the show where Sue Perkins and Giles Coren (slightly less pompous in real life than in print) pretend to be living in the past and eating various gruesome items. Light relief really, and it appears I never tire of the look of Sue's face as she chows down on something particularly rank. Very expressive face, and a vocabulary to go with it. Perfect combination.



Big things are still happening in the background. Fear is tinged with optimism, but I think a lot is out of my control. And that's part of the problem, I'm more anally retentive than I gave myself credit for...



Please let me know about all your doings, bloggardes, it gets lonely in here sometimes.
