HARRY STYLES

23/52

Weekly Wednesday

Last weekend ended in disaster.

After I'd posted my blog there was a loud clatter and Sam's Monstera plant had blown over for the second time!!

For the time being, it's currently living in the sitting room. 

It could stay there, only when it comes to Christmas it needs to be re-homed!

The weather has been on the chilly, wet side again this week. I do feel during this whole exam season that I've not really missed out on any good weather, which is a huge positive. It's felt a bit of a slog this year, due to a shortage of invigilators mainly, and the classic 'be too good at what you do' and then 'more is expected of you!!'  But I'm going to be doing a day a week in the Art office from September, so that will be a salaried post, with a set amount coming in each month, which will allow me to drop up to 50% of my exam commitment next year. 

I did have a day off on Wednesday and kept it free. I headed over to Bristol to do a little holiday shopping and managed to see the David Attenborough mural, put up to honour his 100th birthday.

It's been a funny week. I've felt a bit out of sorts, tiredness and a mild dose of labyrinthitis! I woke up on Thursday morning and the room was violently spinning. Still went to work but spent most of the day feeling nauseous. Sophie came back in the evening, catching the train from Cardiff to Bridgwater. Jeff collected her and when I was talking to her when going to bed, I lay down and felt as if I was in a cauldron, spinning around and around. Friday I felt a bit better. I've tried to get a couple of early nights, as we had an important date yesterday......

....Harry Styles at Wembley!

And I wasn't about to miss that!!

Despite being up in the cheap seats, we still had a fantastic view and a great night. It wasn't as good as his last tour but still worth the trek! We parked at Wembley and then drove home, getting in just after 1.30am!! 

On Friday the artist David Hockney passed away. 

He painted Harry and this is thought to be reflected in what he wore last night, 

a nod to the wonderfully talented David Hockney.

So another week draws to a close.

I have another busy week ahead. I'm going back up to Cardiff with Sophie tomorrow, back home on Wednesday. A full day of work on Thursday..... morning in the art office, afternoon invigilating my last exam, then another busy weekend. I'm trying to squeeze in lots before we go away but time is running out!
