A Busy Week

Finally time to relax. The week just gone is possibly the busiest week I’ve ever had – spanning work, sport, travel and (a little) drinking.

Here’s how my week panned out, starting from Monday;

Monday

• 0730 hours – wake up, shower, head to work
• 1830 hours – finish work and head for football training
• 2100 hours – finish football training, head for home
• 2300 hours – have some food and get to bed

Tuesday

• 0430 hours – wake up, shower, get a taxi to the airport and fly to London
• 0830 hours – arrive in Kings Cross and head to the London office. Work and travel to two meetings in and around London
• 1830 hours – flight back to Edinburgh
• 2000 hours – land back, quick change then out to a work related event for some drinks
• 0100 hours – get to bed

Wednesday

• 0730 hours – wake up, shower, head to work
• 1700 hours – finish work and head to play a football match
• 1954 hours – sprinting down the line I pull my hamstring and now limp around like I’ve been shot in the backside.
• 2030 hours – arrive home after driving all the way back in 3rd gear (I pulled the hamstring of my left leg, so have trouble using the clutch)

This blog post acts as a reminder that ‘me time‘ is important! Hopefully this week won’t be as bad….and the hamstring is one the mend, although I’ll be out for another 2 weeks yet.
