So, muffins...There is nothing whatsoever that can go wrong with my white chocolate, berry and banana muffin recipe (well, I say it's mine, but it's actually Green & Black's recipe). I love making these muffins. They are really, really easy to make, quick and they taste superb.
BUT...
I have made too many. And I have a husband with food poisoning who won't eat any before we go on holiday (or at least he shouldn't). I think 18 to be far too many, and, although they last, I think not for a week. Oh well. People will have to eat them. I've eaten one already, and they are very nice indeed.
So, what else? I have to go and do the packing soon; two more sleeps before we leave. I can't, um remember what I was typing because I had to get the remainder of the muffins out of the oven... Yeah, I know... I can't actually remember the last time I flew anywhere. It
might have been 2003 perhaps, although I'm fairly sure we
might have flown out to France in the meantime. It'll all be new and different! But we now have so many recommendations of what to do in New York, it's bit scary; it's fine to ask everyone for one place they might recommend, but if you ask more people than the number of days you're going, it's a risk that some of them might actually agree on things!
And work... work is fine. I have more to do now, which is superb. I cannot bear being bored and surfing the internet all day whilst other people work. That just feels skivy after a while, and as though I should just be at home surfing the internet. But great; more work. Hurrah! Although I have some ambivalence towards my boss. I don't really like being queried in meetings with external people. I think it's a bit undermine-y really. But, to be honest, I am not caring so much at the moment.
I also had a friend recommend that I should apply for promotion today (with a specific job). But I've kind of gone off the idea at the moment. It all seems to be a bit much effort at the moment, and I think I'd just like to relax a bit, and chill a bit. But no doubt the perfect job will come along, and I'll change my mind tomorrow; I always reserve the right to do that.
I'm quite pleased actually that no-one's realised that I am back doing this (or at least I am assuming that they haven't). I've kind of missed writing anything more than emails and giving my view on things. But this is a bit more personal. In fact, I think it was only J and my mum who ever looked here, but it feels a bit more for me now. Which is good. So I can't claim it will be a riveting read, nor will it contain any massive relevations (after all, one has no idea
who might read it, and realise I was talking about them), but it helps me sort out stuff.
And now I should go and do the ironing before I get on to the packing. We're travelling pretty light, as I think there will be some spending going on in NY! Wheeeeeeeeeee!
