Cycling to work
has now become more than a standard way for me to get to work... but it is however starting to do my head in... the amount of road traffic in London has quadrupled. I'm hoping that once everyone sees the 0's in their bank accounts from taking taxis to work instead of the tube that they stop and re-think... Wouldn't this just be a great time for the city to pour some money into making more bike lanes and encouraging people to cycle??? Kills me that it's an ideal time to champion this sort of thing and no one seems to be acting on it!
Work has launched a 'make all employees comfort eat campaign' Monday morning it was crispy crème donugts, Tuesday it was pastries, Today is muffins... Lord knows what they'll manage tomorrow... I'm sure hoping it's more fruit baskets as I can't quite cope with all this temptation... my food diary is looking more like a shopping list for someone who is considering becoming morbidly obese!
KJ arrives on Friday again and It looks like I'll not be starting my holiday as soon as I thought... Since the wedding mix up, I shall not be flying to Canada as planned... I was hoping to go see my love but alas he's shooting so I shall have to wait until next Thursday. I'm beginning to forget what he looks like!!!
Work is filled with training this week... I did a course on presentation skills yesterday in which they video you doing a 5 minute presentation. It was so embarrassing. Watching myself it was just overwhelmingly comical how much of a teacher I am... it was equally ghastly when I heard how English I sound... god I sound like that character on east enders who arrived from America but sounded like she was from somewhere in the mid Atlantic... not American but not British either just a swirl of both *shudders*. Team communication training in a few minutes... would help if there were more than 4 people on my team here today... most of them are in San Fran doing Search Engine funny business...
We are blessed with really lovely weather this week... I'm so thankful. Picnics in the park like we had early Sunday evening will indeed become more frequent! I think I'm going to really miss living in my flat... being just across the road from Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park is such a treat!
