A Break!

At last I'm having a bit of a break. No work in the mornings until next year, although the evenings will continue on as usual and I still have to wake up at 6:00 am to take the kids to school. But it gives me a few hours everyday to get things done that I've been putting off.

So here I sit filling up my calendar with things to do for the next two weeks:

  • The top on the list is to get a haircut - then I'll be ready for anything! 
  • Also on my list is shopping for furniture - yes, I know I've lived in this house for over a year - but there are still bits and pieces to get to finish things off. 
  • I'm feeling the need for a bit of culture, so I'll make the rounds of museums and galleries around town.
  • Some gardening, 
  • and sorting out my desk.
  • visit some friends... is it possible to turn myself into a lady who lunches?
  •  catch up on reading - in the middle of 'A Reliable Wife' at the moment (not bad)
  • I might decide to play the role of good daughter-in-law and pay a visit to my mother-in-law (haven't seen her since Eid)
  • finish putting together a workshop that I had a brainwave about a couple of months ago (maybe I should move this one up nearer to the top of the list!)
  • But most of all I want to relax and rest and spend time with my family. 
I added support for mobiles for my blog - so if you read this on your mobile please let me know if it's working correctly.
