Weeknote #47

  • Spent the weekend with my parents while they visited over Mothers’ Day

  • Visited the Tower of London with my family and showed them my favourite ever sculpture of a lion (see weeknote XX for a picture)

  • Hit my head really hard on a traffic sign that had fallen down a pole - nothing like a concussion to start a new job with!

  • First week in my new job - lots of onboarding, training and admin, very little of anything resembling what my job will actually be

  • Nick bought me a huge load of “congrats on your first day” presents and flowers (I’m eating some of the chocolate while typing this up)

  • Started a new notebook/bullet journal for work

    • I find these really helpful for keeping notes in one place and, since I put a break page in for each new month, it helps to keep a rough track of progress over time as I learn new things and tackle new problems which is useful for performance review time

    • I’ve chosen “focus” as my keyword for this book to help me remember to stay on task during working hours

  • Our bulb lasagne pots are going crazy! Lots of daffodils, a pink hyacinth in each pot, and lots of tulip leaves and buds coming through

  • Found out we’re unlikely to get a puppy in May since the litter didn’t have enough girls for us to definitely get one

    • It’s still possible but very unlikely and we’re looking at the end of the year, earliest, now

  • Sewed all the boning channels into my new 1860s style corset so I can finally fit it all together this weekend!

  • Found even more yarn that I’d completely forgotten about from a couple of years before I really started knitting regularly so trying to find patterns for them all before they join my main stash and TBK (To Be Knit) pile
