A hard day today, I’m not sure why. I woke up feeling trapped by work, though there was not much going on, and then was a bit caught and fumbly at meetings. I had a fairly straightforwaed piece to write and here I am still not-writing it, half an hour after the end of the working day there, two and a half hours after the end of the working day there.
Part of it is certainly cold, as I’ve been lowering the heating gradually to prepare for our departure, and now it’s quite frigid, just as the temperatures outside have also fallen into the single digits.
Had a quick lunch today with the new fashion designer friend, though without the GF as he is still a bit under the weather, though definitely recovering.
Tonight we watch the showpiece episode of The Bear, which I am thoroughly enjoying. Such a light touch, and such a tenderness towards its characters. In this it reminded me of The Wire, at least when dealing with certain characters, like Wallace, whom it seemed to hold in cupped hands with such care.
