Week 48: Sheep Rescuers

I’m going to exchange on my flat next week! I’m excited but it still doesn’t quite feel real, I’m almost waiting for another issue to crop up. Hopefully, we’ll complete a week or two into September 🤞

I popped over to Gallal’s (my new flat is about a minute’s walk from his house). We had a few beers and I helped him set up his 3D printers, it was fun! I haven’t done any printing since before the pandemic, I forgot how magical it is turning on a machine and getting an object out.

On Wednesday I went into the office, the highlight was having a couple of Jägerbombs with Arjun for the first time in forever. We snuck off to the bar so that we didn’t have to buy a big round of them (sorry everyone else) and it was delightful.

I think this was the longest work week I’ve ever had. Tuesday felt like Friday.

We’ve gone away! I’m writing this weeknote from a lovely big house in Wales, on a big wooden table, in a cute kitchen with an AGA. I’m enjoying myself a lot.

We went walking for a couple of hours, investigated a castle, and rescued a sheep who’d managed to get out of the field. I learned how to safely identify some mushrooms but I’m not confident enough to actually pick or eat any – someone dying would be pretty awkward and probably spoil the holiday.

There’s a hot tub, I had some champagne in it. Bliss.
