Working at home. Rush to get an ad finished. Did Power Plate but have a pain similar to tennis elbow so had to be careful with weights.
Sat 5 January
5 degrees. Did my food shopping in Epping. Got my first bunch this year of British daffodils. Had a smile at the Twitter response from all the great museums of the world to a tweet from @TheMERL (the Museum of Rural Life) - "Show us a duck."
Walked to Power Plate, nearly 5 miles there and back. A vegan recipe book was delivered, Bosh! Had an M&S nut roast for lunch. Am trying to eat more plant based meals.

Went to the National Gallery to see the exhibition of Impressionists on loan from the Courtauld. Utterly amazing to be so close to iconic works - and they encourage you to take pictures.

Up at 5.45 to drive to work and touched to find J had left a teabag in a mug for me. Prints day at work.This is when we wear prints. Not sure why.
Friday 18 January
Home. Did Power Plate for the first time since Sun. My "Women of the First World War" brooch came from the Royal British Legion. Beautiful, and in memory of a lady called Nellie. I will wear it proudly in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday in November.
Sat 19 January
Shopping as usual in Epping although annoyingly forgot to get daffodils. Went out in the evening for a Greek mezze with John's daughter and her husband.

Risk of ice, so worked from home.
Thurs 24 January
Got the train to work. In the evening went to a colleague's leaving do at a former bicycle shop, now a restaurant (and called "The Old Bicycle Shop"). Had a lovely room upstairs.Service was very slow so bit concerned about catching train home.

Went to see Party /Celebration plays starring Celia Imrie at the Harold Pinter Theatre. In front row of balcony. Quite short, was finished by 9.15.
Power Plate, later class, so that I could return a parcel at Waitrose. Roast beef with Rachel and Sean. Sadly, Johnnie Walker off for six weeks for a heart operation - missed him on Sounds of the 70s (BBC Radio 2).

Tues 29 January
At home. Sunny not so cold.
Weds 30 January
In office. Early so went to Tesco to do some shopping on the way to work. Our new brown bin for garden waste was delivered - bigger. We're very lucky, our council still empties the refuse and recycling bins each week and the garden refuse bin once a fortnight.
Up at 5.30 making salads for lunch and dinner. Left work at 1.30 as the forecast changed to an amber warning for snow. Did the rest of my meetings at home.
