Today didn’t start well with the pigeon and from the moment I stepped into the office it got a lot worse.

Politics in the office is an odd thing. Some people like it, some don’t. For me it depends how much politics is going in at any one time. Today it was all politics. It varied from that played out between two internal departments to the company versus the supplier. All day mails went back and forwards as we tried to move around the maze of do’s and don’ts with no escape.

The pigeon had fared a lot better. Clipping the windscreen of the car as I drove up the approach road to the M25 it thudded like a slushy snowball before disappearing into the bushes at the side of the road.

I was really glad to sign out of work tonight and to walk into the town. I needed some things to cook with later and the walk under a clear blue sky with the smell of a coal fire in the cold wind cheered me up no end.

Tonight after beef teriyaki (made with Aberdeen Angus beef from the market) it’s a bottle of Bravara beer, the Linux laptop (now with BloGTK to blog with) and last nights American football to watch.

Tomorrow’s another day and for today the politics are over.
