Daily Treat

I love my morning break!

There are two decisions to be made – will I have 1 or 2 slices of toast? and what will I read?

I know I could go up to the staff canteen but there are times with the noise levels are unbelievable and there are othertimes when you don’t have a choice about who sits with you or who you sit with. This 20minute (30 if I’m honest) break out into my own little world is so peaceful that it is worth the the extra few cent.

So along comes 11am and I toddle off for my tea and toast. The routine is usually the same – hi to the regulars and then its sitting down – have a quick look at twitter and when the tray arrives with my goodies it’s away with the tech – marmalade and iPads are not a good mix! and it’s out with the book or magazine.

There are no interruptions so it is simply wonderful to lose yourself for that short while in the middle of a busy working day.

Grumbles

I’ve started a cross-stitch project even though I’m not finished with the snowflake throw 😦 I was given the kit a while ago and it’s been asked after on a number of occasions so I’ve decided to do it and get it over with. Sometimes I get the impression that I might have to give it back once it’s completed – however I don’t know we’ll just have to wait and see. My major grumble is the fact that joy has been taken out of it – the sooner it’s done the better.
Anyway I know I’m saying the joy is gone but probably an exaggeration ’cause when I’m doing it I know I’ll enjoy it. Hohum!!
Anyway time to finish sorting out the threads – sorry to be grumbly!
