Up early again this morning and straight out for the now-standard walk up to the entrance of Wytham Woods. Managed it in 58 minutes, so the pace is staying pretty consistent which is pleasing. Good to get the steps in before the day even starts properly.
Work, however, was another story. Extremely busy again and definitely stressful at the minute. Feels like there’s constantly something needing attention and very little chance to pause for breath. Still, got through it all and at least I ate well today, which is helping balance things out a bit.
Jack cooked dinner for us this evening which was appreciated, and then we made sure to leave on time at 4.30pm because we were heading into London for the theatre. Amazingly, the journey in was unbelievably clear — almost suspiciously so — and we got parked in the usual place without any problems at all.
From there we had a nice walk across towards Piccadilly, grabbing snacks from Greggs on the way because, despite dinner, it somehow still felt necessary.
The show we’d gone to see was The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry at the Haymarket Theatre and it was absolutely brilliant. The second half in particular was incredibly emotional and really hit hard in places, but overall it was such a well-done production and we both thoroughly enjoyed it. One of those performances that stays with you afterwards and gets you thinking.
After the show we wandered back through London, got in the car and headed home. Thankfully the roads were still fairly clear and we made it back around midnight without any drama.
A long day, especially with work being as stressful as it currently is, but definitely worth it for such a good evening.
End of Day Summary:
A busy and fairly stressful workday balanced out perfectly by a fantastic evening in London. The theatre trip completely justified the effort and late night, with The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry turning out to be emotional, thoughtful and genuinely memorable. One of those evenings that reminds you why it’s important to still make time for things outside of work.
