Frosty February

Still getting the timing wrong for my march to school. This morning I thought I might be cutting it fine, particularly when Bonnie followed me and I had to yell for Ady to come and call her back but I was still there by 910am (I start at 920am) despite dawdling along the coast road taking photos of the geese.

We got the particulars through for Osborne Drive for our approval today, Ady and I looked at the photos of our old home both expecting to feel a pang. Ady commented that if we could just pick that house up and put it here it would be perfect but when we look out of the windows here at our view it is impossible to hanker after that house. Walking to the school this morning reminded me again how lucky I am to live here.

I drank about five cups of tea at work, got my email up and running and made a start on sorting out the office space. Having checked with Coryla that she doesn’t use the office at all and I am therefore at liberty to do whatever I want with it I made a start on making the space my own.

I have only once before had my own office and that was years ago so it’s a real novelty having a whole room to myself. Especially one with a computer, kettle, electricity and a printer / photocopier machine that has a bigger IQ than I do!

Back home for lunch and then I walked back down to the village with Bonnie to deliver some invoices and called in to see Fliss for a cup of tea. When I got back home it was animal feeding time so Davies and I did that and then went back to the village to collect our veg box together while Ady and Scarlett stayed home doing other stuff. I let Davies drive home sitting on my lap. I’d let him drive completely if the road was not quite so dangerous that if he went wrong we’d end up in the river! We’ll maybe go out onto the reserve soon so he can have a go somewhere safer and take full control.

We had dinner and watched some more Red Dwarf which the kids are loving and we are really enjoying watching again. And this morning I am back at work again.
