It occurred to me earlier that it has been a while since I put pen to paper, or hand to keyboard to be precise, and wrote a blog. I'm not sure why. Maybe because I'm back at work doing full days and have been too tired, or maybe because I've had nothing remotely interesting to say. Either way, I thought it was about time I got my act together. When you finish reading this you will probably conclude that I still have nothing interesting to say, but I shall say it anyway.
I am sitting here enjoying a rare moment of tranquility after a fairly hectic week. Listening to some music, indulging myself with a few tracks no-one else in the house likes, while I have the house to myself for an hour. Some real 'takes me right back' songs, that bring back many happy memories.
This week we have picked up our new car, and I am pleased to say it is fab, Hubbs is so pleased with it he has done about 500 miles in less than a week. He tells me it is essential to see how it performs, and what all the little buttons on it do. I have had a couple of nice days out too, so am not complaining!
So on Monday I left for work at 7.45 in the morning and didn't get home till about that in the evening. On top of this Hubbs had to take my Stepfather to A&E to get his dodgy foot looked at. On Tuesday Hubbs and CC had decided as it is the school hols, I had a hospital free day off, and we had a new car to try out, that we should have a day out. So we set off fairly early in the morning and had a mooch around Moreton in Marsh and Bourton on the Water in the sunshine. We then drove the (very) long way home, to try the car out, called at some friends to show the car off, called at Hubbs's Mum's to show the car off (see a pattern here?) and by the time we got home all chance of a nap was well and truly gone!
Work has been busy too, as we are preparing for an office move, which is happening smack bang in the middle of all the bank holidays. So we are trying to get rid of as much paperwork and stuff as we can, and pack as much as we can, in readiness for the move. On top of this either me or Hubbs has had to take my Mum backwards and forwards to the hospital. Mostly Hubbs to be fair, but then he does have the new car! Our friends son J has been in hospital too, for quite a big op, so Thursday we visited both patients. Friday we took J's sister out with CC, as they are best friends, and had another nice day out.
All in all I've hardly sat still all week, so was looking forward to a quiet day today. CC had other ideas, and we ended up spending half the morning making cupcakes! They are very nice though. So now you see why I'm so glad to have an hour to myself to chill out for a bit!
Tomorrow will be a little bit sad for me as it is the London Marathon. Last year my cousin H was running it, this year he is no longer with us. He should be there running, life is so very unfair! I shall take a few moments to think of this very special person, and how much he is missed by so many people. Love and miss you H!
