Oh my goodness! MJ! Seeing him on the street like that from your coach. And then being plunged back into the daily - hourly! - horrors. I am so very sorry. But you do sound buoyed up and (almost!) ready for anything, which just goes to show we must ALL make ourselves take breaks, as and where we can.OK, I am home now after a very worthwhile holiday lasting 3 days if you don't count the 2 travelling days.
As the coach came into the local town, I noticed a scruffy old man in the middle of the road, with his beanie hat on crooked - he tripped in the middle of the road, and regained his equilibrium - you've guess who it is, I know, yes, so had I - my OH!
Today - day 1 of no more respite on anyone's horizon
He has decided not to shave again.
He hasn't had a shower for almost a week
He has tried to open another bank account to put his winnings in when he comes up on the post code lottery.( ha ha ha )
He is still peeing in the wash hand basin
He inspected a 'tee-pee' I made this afternoon to grow the sweetpeas up - and thought it was a new tree I had planted.
He decided to mow the lawn - the garden is MINE!- but encouraged him to 'help' now the lawn in completely chewed up.
wonder what tomorrow will bring??
The garden is an issue here too. I’ve had someone come in the last few years and, as a rose pruner, he got our wild and woolly MacCartney under control by keeping it back to the old wood. Well guess what? OH decided to trim it slightly, got going and couldn’t stop, I couldn’t restrain him, the whole thing was cut back to the ground. Because of the nature of this rose, it’s now sent out long, lethal branches from there, it’s all over the place, uncontrollable. All the pruner’s painstaking work has gone for nothing.
Well here the sun is rising on another day. In an hour we’ve got to do the weekly supermarket shop.
I am so very glad you had your break and it’s lovely to have you back. Very best wishes. Carolyn.
