There are a bunch of clichés running through my head:
What a difference a day makes
...and...
All good things come to those who wait
...or perhaps more aptly...
The pendulum swings
Bit first, three photos - sort of for feline Friday:
Why have I settled on the pendulum? Well, what I've both been waiting for, and afraid of, happened. Hurry-up-and-wait, in the space of five minutes turned into we-need-it now. In the space of one phone call - at midday on the 17th of the month. Anyway, my client agrees that our client will have to accept that we can do only what's humanly possible. Even though my preference is to have completed all the work and billed... We shall see. Given that I have six working days left in the month - for them!
Happily, I had a mostly productively billable afternoon before heading to the kitchen.
Poached duck eggs on a bed of sautéed vegetables with seared courgette. Side salads for both of us and potatoes for him.
Post script: I am trying to participate in 's November #HiveBloPoMo. I emphasise trying because the last two months have been exactly that - trying. There have been times that I've just been too exhausted and uninspired to post, let alone write something profound. That shouldn't stop you - or anyone. Read about how to participate here.
I've made it to day 17!
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
- Join Hive using this link and then join us in the Silver Bloggers' community.
