Its the last day of two weeks leave and tomorrow I am back to work! This morning I checked my diary for the work I have ahead this week. Development checks, baby massage sessions, support for parents finding toddler behaviour difficult, post natal groups and clinics. A good variety to look forward too. Back to the last day of my leave, I didn't wake up until 8.30am, how on earth am I going to get back into the routine of getting up at 6.00am and out the door for 7.00am. After a slow start and a few mundane chores, some washing, at least the glorious, sunny, windy day allowed me to peg out the wash. I always enjoy getting all my laundry out on the line to have a good blow. The laundry always smells so nice when dried in the open air and I feel virtuous that I haven't used the decreasing worlds resources, though I rarely use the Tumble dryer and prefer to use a clothes horse!
Chores done, I headed out (oh dear in the car) to meet Maggie at the garden centre. As usual I arrived before Maggie and spent fifteen minutes wondering around looking at the array of goods on sale. I wondered around the book department, kitchen department and deli, infact all departments except the 'garden shop'. I was in a dream when I bumped into Maggie, we made our way to the coffee shop where we sat and chatted for more than an hour, the time slipped by as we talked about lots of things, including concerns about both our younger children! We parted and Maggie went of to her part time job and I popped to the local shops in LOS as I had the desire to cook a roast for dinner. Rang my Mother and invited her to come and join Steve and I. Collected Mum at 4.00pm as I know she doesn't like driving home in the dark, forfeited my glass of wine with dinner, but small concession to make and I know Mum enjoyed the meal of roast pork and apple sauce, some early evening television before I took her home at 8.00pm. I'm now back and enjoying that glass of wine and about to watch a docudrama about Kenneth Williams. Early to bed tonight as it won't seem ong before the alarm is waking me from my slumber!
