Up in smoke?

On Wednesday a O’Neill’s pub in Cardiff burned down in a fire started by a chip pan. People didn’t realise there was a fire straight away because there has been a lot of dust kicked up from the building works nearby. Most of the staff were on a trip that day so only skeleton staff were manning the pub. Thankfully the pub hadn’t opened for lunch yet by the time the alarm was sounded. The nearby shops, indoor market and department store were all evacuated. Business has been closed in many places today because their stock is smoke damaged. The structural integrity of the shell of the building that burned down cannot be checked yet. I haven’t been into town yet, I will be there tomorrow, and apparently the area still smells a lot from the smoke.

I’ve decided I will go to the exhibition tomorrow, I signed up earlier this week and I’m taking a friend with me. I’ve taken the day off, it’s going to be ok and I’m going to enjoy it! :)

I do have a bad habit of obsessing over relatively small and unnecessary things, stressing and blowing them out of proportion.
