Flexibility and Pragmatism

I was sat here thinking how my Sunday hasn’t panned out how I might have preferred. The plan was to catch up on a few web site things, tasks that need doing for clients, and planning out my work for tomorrow. What actually happened was an extended morning nap with my 22 month old son (on account of the late night watching United in the FA Cup), a cycle ride to a local cafe for lunch, and an invite to dinner at my brother-in-law’s place.

My initial reaction to all this was “oh poo” – I had deliberately concentrated on doing a couple of jobs in the garden yesterday, thinking I’d concentrate on the computer stuff today. As I think about this more however, I’ve accepted that today was a much-needed day of being “easy like Sunday morning”. I’ve relaxed, rested, had a great cycle ride and lunch with my wife and son, and am now looking forward to a great evening with a splash of beer, a drop of wine and some great sushi.
