23 February, Monday: This day FLEW by. I got to work a few minutes after 8. I knew that Kev and I would be the only ones in the office so wanted to get a head start on the day. And I’m glad I did. We got out of there about 5:45 and I still hadn’t done several of the tasks that were due. So I hope tomorrow isn’t quite as busy. But it’s just Claire and me, so it’s not like anyone else will be there to do the work…just the two of us.

I spoke to a man from Scotland and a woman from Ireland, and with both I was so embarrassed because I had to keep asking them to repeat things. I kept putting it on being new, being American, being dumb, I don't know what excuse I'll use if it happens again. What's the odds of this happening twice in one day? Pretty good, I guess, if you're me.

I’m looking forward to Wednesday night when I’ll go to Chorley and “play” with the CSz crew. Unusual for me to have something fun to do after work during the week.

Came home and read a while, watched Coronation Street, the night time soap opera that is de rigueur. It’s really trashy, but fun.
