Home again



Ian is watching the Manchester United match which means that, even though I have been away a couple of nights, I can do some guilt-free blogging. I have been living my other non-country life today and yesterday. Dinner last night with clients and a meeting all day today which kicked off at 8.00 and was very hard work, quite confrontational and knackering. I think I am getting better than I used to be at switching off from work things but also less prepared to put up with them. I wonder where that will lead?

Driving home tonight I was struggling to keep awake but arrived back to a fire lit and Ian cooking my tea. What a man.

Tomorrow I am back to the Christie for my six month check up. A couple of days ago I suddenly found myself feeling unexpectedly wobbly about this but I am ok again now. You have to take the view that if they are monitoring you so closely nothing can creep up on you unawares. That's what I tell myself. Works just fine in the day. Sometimes falters in the middle of the night.

I am really enjoying catching up with blogs again and working my way through all my favourites. I have decided that every day I will also try to read one person I haven't read before. Don't want to miss anything but have got a non-computer based life to live as well. I was amused to see suffolkmum's comment about keeping children off computers and doing it ourselves. That rang very true!

Because I am so full of work and tomorrow's appointment I am going to do a picture blog today. I will try to find one of the view from the second pigsty and one of the privy. Let's be down to earth today.

  1. I'm trying that system too ,old favourites plus a new one every day, at the moment I am teetering between child neglect and exhaustion.

  2. Love the privy. I knew you were working these last 2 days but I missed you! I'm another one trying that system - although there's almost as much to read on here, everything seems so much quicker. I know what you mean about putting up with less at work - I got like that too in my last part-time job, having been steam-rollered on my return from mat. leave with my previous firm. Good luck tomorrow. Sure you will do just fine, and then look, another milestone crossed off. We'll be thinking of you.

  12. Sorry I didnt see you appear yesterday but I have not forgotten you - I was entrenched in the legality of the CL fiasco and didnt do much reading yesterday.
    I do hope all is well with the check up - as you say with this close monitoring not too much can slip through can it. All the best - love mousie xx
