235. A Half Day Holiday

I was allowed to carry some holiday over from last year, and today is the deadline for taking it - so I've got the afternoon off. Herself has decided to take the afternoon off too, so we've decided that we'll see the Nicholson\Mondrian exhibition at the Courtauld.

I'm not sure I've had half a day off before. I'm sitting at work (working very hard, obviously) and the prospect of walking out of here at 1 and not coming back is rather appealing. I've got some errands to run this afternoon that aren't usually possible in the week, and with any luck the exhibition won't be rammed so we'll be able to see the art, rather than just the backs of people's heads. It might have been a good opportunity finally to have a go on the London Eye, but it's overcast today so why bother.

Anyway, so far I can heartily recommend it. Half days - who knew?!

  1. i think part of the unbounded joy must be in the rarity of such occasions. and what a lovely afternoon you and herself had planned. did you in fact go on the london eye....? funny about the courthauld. i was supping desert wine in their very living room on saturday thinking of their pet lemur mah jong and contemplating the reason they had so very much money was partly the random smiling of the gods in their direction and partly because they had no wee ones to snaffle it all!
