Tuesday Since we’re now in our last week of holiday, I am making the most of not having to get up. I was out of bed by about 11/11:30 but generally just pottered about the bedroom getting us unpacked, sorting the washing and putting away the huge pile of Matt’s clothes that has been building up – the washing fairy (and I) refuse, as his mother did, to put his

I have to get up to leave by 10am! What kind of a holiday is this?! After our last car trip we realised that we can take lots more things than in a
Read moreSunday What with this not having to drive to the airport, wait 2 hours, fly, then spend another hour or more to get to our destination; I don’t have to get up early. It’s a really nice change. We should do more drive destinations. Easy drive and quickly to Biaritz for our first charge; it wasn’t really needed but I needed a pee stop and we didn’t want to leave

It did make me all the more impressed that they did come to visit, despite my reminders that it is
Read moreWednesday Back to normal again today. I’m doing some more work for Lambeth and Matt has lots of calls. In addition, I stripped the beds and got the sheets on to wash, folded all the laundry that’s been sitting around for last week and had a short break in the afternoon between calls as was far too hot and needed a swim. Meow however thinks it’s too hot and she
Read moreThursday Lee and Vicky (aka “the kids”) arrive this evening so between work we were busy getting the house ready for guests. They’ll have to share their room with a big stack of insulation but even then it’s bigger than most hotel rooms. Thankfully they are getting the train down too so that buys us some extra time as there is a lot to do and a lot of work
Read moreMonday Matt is coming home today which I’m rather excited about. I’ve got lots of work to do though and keen to get as much done as possible before he comes home so we can spend some extra time together. Dinner was the last of the defrosted lasagne that mum had made – thanks, it was delicious! Matt’s on a late flight though and it also seems that it’s been
