General thoughts on today
A Frantic Friday
Fridays often have a tendency to be frantic, and today was no exception. Mum and Cristyn wanted to go Christmas shopping, so I volunteered to stay with Dad and work from their house. I had hoped for a quiet day to catch up on work and spend some meaningful time with Dad. Instead, it turned into a busy and frustrating workday, filled with calls and coaching sessions. Even so, it was good to spend time with Dad and, later on, with Mum too.
Rugby Night Out
In the evening, I went out with Glyn and Tony to watch the rugby: Dragons vs Montpellier. The weather was dreadful—proper sheet rain—and we even got a red weather warning, which set everyone’s phone off. The game itself wasn’t great. The Dragons lost, in a match that they could have, and arguably should have, won. Montpellier were the favourites, but it was still disappointing. After the game, we headed into town for a few drinks:
- Potters
- Slipping Jimmy’s
- McCanns The weather kept things quiet, but we stayed out until about 12:30. I also bumped into Laura and Chris, which was a nice surprise.
Gratitude
Despite the chaos of the day, I’m thankful for:
- Time with Dad
- A night out with friends, even in wild weather
- Unexpected encounters with familiar faces
Exercise
Lots of walking in rubbish weather.
