Birthday 2017

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Yesterday did not go as planned. I was meant to take a half day holiday to make up for all of the overtime that I have been doing, but I had to help sort out some issues at work and assist others. As a result, I ended up working my total daily hours (then had to tell colleagues I really needed to leave and that I'd already put in too much time already). With that, I headed home. As a result of the busy day (which is common at the moment for me), I didn't get to call up and book a new local restaurant in Ruislip Manor that I've heard is good and that I really wanted to try. The bloke and I tried to get in after work, but it was booked full, and they would not let us in. We ended up going to another nice established local restaurant instead; this is one that we have been to once before with friends and has the best reviews in the area: Zaza Ruislip.

Zaza is an Italian restaurant located in Ruislip at the end of the High Street near the barn and Manor House. The food really is delicious, but I didn't take any photographs this time. I told them that it was my birthday, and they brought out my dessert (a creme brulee) with a candle and birthday message. This was a perfect end to a busy day.

My life is a bit of a blur at the moment. Work has been extremely busy, and changes are happening at the moment. I'd been putting in a lot of hours; this has mainly been due to assisting juniour developers who are also new to the project; many of the tasks are very complex, so they had many questions and needed a lot of help, which has taken up my time as I've had to take on extra tasks. The processes are not the greatest; tasks were approved and then suddenly I had to make changes at the last minute, after it had been approved by several people. (That defeated the purpose as I raise things well in advance to avoid last-minute issues as I am not a procrastinator; disorganisation irks me.) 

I've also been unpacking and sorting out bits with the moving. (Yes, I moved at the end of 2015, but I was living out of boxes because the house needed renovations; after just over six months, those came to an end and I've been unpacking and tidying bits away since then.) I'd like to have a house-warming party in early July, but I am not sure if that will happen. That is my target to get things sorted anyway.
