Sturm & Hamper
I was lying in bed at 3:30 when the thunderstorm started.
I like to think it was an outraged Tor having just heard that I had to go to work in 2 and a half hours. Quite why I needed to be woken to share his displeasure is one of those things that I as a mere mortal will never understand.
Anyway I got to share his rather spectacular displeasure for the best part of an hour - huge thunderclaps and very impressive lightning. Followed by very heavy rain. Rain that had gone by the time I left the house, yawning and trying to remember my password.
Got to work and the first E-Mail was can I meet with the Head Of Department...
As ever here, it was a Good Thing. He wished me a Happy Birthday and gave me this hamper full of "Italian Specialities". You know, like tins of Bierwurst* and Lyoner**. And a packet of Tuc biscuits. Yes you can still get them and they are delicious.
I could pack a heck of a packed lunch tomorrow.
I find the idea rather sweet and it makes me like my company even more. Certainly I'm feeling a bit better disposed towards them than Thor at the minute.
The Blip is a bit raggedy looking because I just wanted to blip the hamper and then get everything in the fridge. I'm not sure that a day sitting in almost 30° heat has done the cheese or the I-Can't-Believe-It's-Not-Parma any favours.
Oh and today is meant to be the coolest day of the week. 32°C when I left at 3 this afternoon.
Still it wasn't too shoddy for a Monday.
* & ** I have no idea what to do with either of them (except try to eat them).
