Monday 16th January

Ah, Monday mornings, how much I've missed you being part of my routine. You now are well an truly back in my life it seems. Today was the start of I think my fifth week in this job, and I'm pretty glad it has lasted as long as it has already, and looks like it may last a little longer.


To expand on yesterday, as I seem to remember I was too tired to actually write anything after having been walking all day after another sleepless night, it was actually a very good day, and entirely rewarding. Actually, to go back to the sleep thing, it was suggested yesterday that by one of my mates that insomnia was 'probably just another one of my things', much the same as my music, sport and this blog have been. Just another phase that I'm going through, probably seeking attention. Which was nice! And. I hope, not true. Talking to my boss today she said that lots of people struggle with sleep that work there, maybe as a result of the work being too boring, she said. I said nothing, not wanting to drop any thought I have over the boredom of the work in case it gets me sacked! Even if it is boring.


So, yeah, the walk. We set off from Buriton in Hampshire at about half 9 I think, and made our way along the route to the town of 'Cocking', in West Sussex. Twinned with 'Bumhole' in Kent, I believe. It was a lovely, if cold, winter's day, and perfect for a long walk. The countryside was beautiful, and it was great to get out and about and well away from the office or the house. 


Walking, and other stuff like this was never something I was really that bothered about a few years back, but since I've got older I've learned to respect the need for doing things like this as well as all the other stuff like drinking and music and football or whatever it is I'm into. It really is good for the soul I think to get out and about and see some of this stuff I think.


We arrived at the finish point at lunchtime and got stuck in to a well deserved pint. And you really do feel you've deserved it after a long walk. 


Hopefully have time for a few more interesting posts this week, got a few in mind that I'll share if time and tiredness allow. Meanwhile, it's bedtime.
