Off the leash

After a couple of hours, was able to cast aside the chaffing desk manacles and wandered happily about doing laundry, hoovering and washing up, and feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Took the afternoon off, and went to the gym for a long Hulk legs session, despite what seemed like noxious chemicals leaking from the air conditioning.

At five o'clock met Matt in The Basketmakers and simply had a few beers, which went to my head, but did not prevent us talking about the arts at great length. Matt wistful about the joys of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, and of Yorkshire in general. Home early rather frayed around the edges, for I am not used to this booze. Lorraine who'd been at a leaving party, discovered me some hours later fast asleep on the sofa. All well.
