Work to Live

The sentiment that most London newcomers commonly share is the disdain for the weather. Today is slightly different. A deep blue sky has decided to make a rare cameo appearance providing an award winning supporting role to a glorious Friday morning. Suffice to say, only the naive would classify a day as glorious with the metric of a cloudless sky. The main reason is that after 176 days of a negative cash flow I have finally been paid. Cue the angelic horns!

I think my biggest disappointment is, once I got paid, only then, did life suddenly feel normal again.

Derek, i have to disagree with you there. The weather determines the entire atmosphere of the day and is therefore the metric by which you can judge a glorious day.

Additionally, i believe that the paycheck must have been the cherry on the sundae. adding to the sweetness of a lovely blue sky :)
