French Day

Bon jour!

Since today is Bastille Day and a collegue at work is learning French yesterday at work we had a French day and it really made the day fun. We brought French food, wore red, white and blue and had a French quiz.

We had muffins iced with the French flag on them, Cassolet with french bread, chocolate (of course - we use any excuse for that one) and I made a Tarte Tatin. We all had a lovely lunch together - albeit in shifts  - which was great on a day that had us a bit short staffed.

We regularly celebrate different days and try to carry the themes through our clothes and food. It is amazing how a change out of the usual can really give the whole day a lift.

What days do you celebrate at work or home?

Over Work

I don't know whether its because the year is winding down or because my work is going through some big changes but I am completely over it. I am sick of going, of having to go everyday.

I really like my job as it is now but due to changes I can see it evolving into a role that I am less than excited about. I hope I am wrong!

I like the money that comes with working fulltime but it does mean that everything else, everything I want to do has to be squeezed in at night or on the weekends and I am running out of time. Hmmm. I suppose it's the lament of every full time worker.

I think its good for your soul to have a whinge, so I am having mine here.

I booked us a holiday today for a few days in January and am looking forward to my five day break over Christmas, I am hoping both these will recharge the old batteries.

Do you find that as the end of the year draws to a close you too become "over it"?
