word of the week #30

Now obviously the drawing was done speedily, what can I say, I was trying to be authentic. This week has flown by. I think partly because I only wrote last week's word of the week post on Saturday, as on Friday we were in the Isle of Skye and 3G was not forthcoming, so this linky seems to have come around a little quicker than usual.

Those last few days of our holiday seemed to dissolve at an alarming rate, as they so often do when time off draws to a close. Having said that, those days back at work that were making me glum on Wednesday also passed in what feels like a matter of hours, and I can't quite believe it is Friday evening already (and am also slightly ashamed at how speedily the brownies I made that night have disappeared too, although I am consoling myself with the thought that I did give some away as I stare at the empty tin).

The job that I am doing is coming to a close in the next few weeks too, as the role was only for a year, and so I return to my previous position, albeit in a different location soon. As a result, these last few days at work feel very precious as I race to get things finished off, and to say goodbye to some wonderful colleagues I have met over the last twelve months. The year seems to have flown by, and although I am looking forward to moving back to my normal job, I will also miss the people and the work. 

Most speedy of all, however, is this post. It is my wonderful mum's birthday today (Happy Birthday to you - the most incredible, kind, and loving woman that I am so very lucky to call my mum), and so The Husband and I are now off to spend the evening with her; hopefully the speediness will stop, and we can spend a leisurely evening with lovely company, lovely food, and lovely celebrations, just what weekends are made for.
