24 Hours to go

I feel like a pig tonight. I have been to Big Wok for an all you can eat Chinese buffet and have had to promise myself that I would only have a plate of starter and a plate of mains. Even so I feel completely stuffed and didnt even go near the Sushi or Tempenyaki bar. Dining on your own is never fun. I did think about a lovely Steak Frites over at Mal Maison or possibly cafe Rouge but Big Wok is easy. you go in, help yourselves and leave when you are ready. No waiting around for service. Its quick and easy. Sometimes too quick and easy. I was in and out of the restaurant within half an hour and have since been crashing out on the sofa watching televison with a nice glass of vino.

I've only been gone 48 hours and yet I really miss Dusan. We have enjoyed almost 10 months of spending nearly every single evening together. Usually when I am away with work I am not on my own but this time it feels strangely lonely. The days of 2 or 3 of us per office are long gone. These days its more me and the workers in the office. Its good when you feel you have something in common with them. When you feel like you would like to go out in the evening following work for a drink or two. As has been the case when I have been working in London recently. Gordon actually calls thursday PU night. I had to enquire into what it actually stood for. Gordon is our very own walking Thesauras. I always live in fear that he will correct my grammar in an important work document. But apparantly PU stands for Piss Up Night. No wonder all of the guys last week thought the old boy had an alcohol problem! :-)

Rather than going out for a PU I decided to stay in and get an early night. May as well while I have the opportunity. We all have a feeling that come next week things are going to get madder than ever. So while I have an hour or so till the hubby calls me I am going to go and enjoy and nice hot bath. Night.
