Happier January: Even a Short Interaction is Better than None at All
I bumped into one of the owners of an adjacent flat while taking a quick break outside this lunchtime; I saw her husband coming down the stairs yesterday, and I noticed that they both had the same handyman with them. It looks like one of their tenants has moved out - I saw the guy last week, but had only time for a brief hello, as he was mid conversation with someone. He was probably in the process of moving out.
I'm suddenly realising that even a quick hello with someone I recognise is better than no interaction at all, particularly on a day when my only conversation so far has been with my manager, who was reminding me that Boris hasn't lifted the work from home requirements yet, though I hope this changes really soon.
I've been trying to take plenty of breaks today, and had a few short walks; I managed a 45 minute walk this morning, and noticed this gorgeous sunrise.
I have managed to complete week 2 of the "Joy of Winter" challenge on Strava.
I'm also trying to get over one disappointment yesterday; I was looking forward to going on a ghost walk next week with the Stag Walkers, until it dawned on me that I had neglected to buy tickets, because I either thought someone else was sorting them out, or that they would somehow buy themselves. I found out yesterday that they sold out, which was quite a bummer. Edit - turns out someone did get me a ticket after all, so all fine.
I'm still stuck on last week's photo_scavenger prompt, "fractions", and now I have a new one to try: "complete". I have a few ideas, but I'll have to see if I can spot anything good while I'm out on my walks.
