We are enjoying the last few minutes of peace before the girls return. It\u2019s been a good couple of weeks. I can truly say that this holiday has helped me to rejuvenate myself. I feel much younger than I did a couple of weeks ago. I\u2019ve lost a little weight. I\u2019m looking good and I know it\u2019s all going to go to pot just as soon as the girls are home. I\u2019ll be back to cowering in a corner and feeling old. I just wish it could stay the way it is now forever. I have asked my Mistress if we can go away together more often as it really does me good and I know she likes the time when it\u2019s just us. Sadly she has not lost weight on holiday and does not feel years younger. It\u2019s not helped by her upcoming birthday. She\u2019s in her usual \u2018new resolutions\u2019 mode. She had been content with progressing in her keyboard playing but her bad hand has put paid to that, so now she needs a new personal challenge. She\u2019s thinking getting fit should be on there somewhere, but she\u2019s also decided to go back to learning French; that being the only language other than English that she is any good at. Even then, \u2018good\u2019 is a questionable word!<\/p>\n
For the time being we are in that post-holiday period where there\u2019s no food in the house and the washing pile rivals Mount Everest for height. The new freezer is on order but can\u2019t come until Thursday and the new printer needs to be picked up later this afternoon. Tesco\u2019s will restock the cupboards at some point and the post will eventually get opened. My Mistress said the most exciting thing she has planned for today is a trip to the tip \u2013 that\u2019s living!<\/p>\n
