Dammit. Slept in.

One of the benefits of getting a later train is that they’re the SouthEastern trains. Which are soooo much nicer than Thameslink trains.

:

Got my train tickets checked. I’m convinced they check them more often on a Friday and outside of rush hour. Not sure why. Maybe people are annoyed enough during the rush hour. But I feel like I’ve only ever gotten my tickets checked outside the rush hour (both morning and evening).

Arrived at work.

On a late lunch.

Back home. Popping into Co-op for ice cream I think.

:

Home. Clouds have given way to some early evening blinding sun.

Autumn is officially here for sure. My Barbour boots were worn today. As were two layers of plaid.

Having a cigarette whilst dinner cooks. My first for many, many weeks.

Eaten dinner. Essentially chicken, chips and peas. Macho peas, which were nice. Now watching the Celebrity Traitors.

Feel kind of weak and tired. But not sleepy – weirdly. A curious combo.
