I'd taken an annual leave day today, as the course isn't part of my job requirements, but all the same I had to dive into work to approve a loan before heading into the city. A technical problem had prevented its approval yesterday (which was the Subject To Finance day; I'd had to ring the solicitor and get an extension)but it was supposed to be fixed overnight - and it was. Phew.
Home by three pm, got a few chores done then settled down to some reading. Also took the opportunity to wash my poor filthy car; I'd been putting it off as the forecast has been for "showers" for as long as I can remember, but we haven't actually HAD any this week. Of course, now that I've washed it, it's bound to pour....
