Wow! my first day back home after 6 weeks holidaying in Europe – with planes, trains and automobiles – people galore and places to see, sensory overload, don’t get me wrong it was a fantastic holiday but you almost need a holiday to get over the holiday.

It was sheer heaven to get into bed last night….. turned on the electric blanket an hour before going to bed……was absolutely wonderful getting into bed, we snuggled up and were thankful of our lives….the assortment of beds over the last 6 weeks we have been in you could write a book on….some good and some not so good.

I woke at 6 am then turned over and thought “get back to sleep”…. the mobile phone buzzed at 8 am, I ignored it until it buzzed again half an hour later….. so my first phone call was a catch up with one of my sons…..then decided to roll over and go back to sleep…. finally got out of bed at 1030, a good way to start the lazy day.

I am enjoying staying in my PJ’s and just chilling for the day….. that does not mean that I don’t do anything, the washing is on, first load is already on the line…the bags need unpacking…..gifts for the family put in order…. the soup is cooking on the stove…. the catch-up phone calls with the girlfriends…and they alone will take about an hour per call…so they have to be spread over the next few days. The TV is on in the background, not because I want to watch it but just because I can and it is in English.
There is something really enjoyable about staying in your PJ’s all day – the soup has been simmering most of the afternoon. I have been craving a good soup loaded with veg and a few lamb bones for flavor we weren’t disappointed the soup was delicious… the simplicity of soup beats many of the wonderful dinners we have experienced over the last 6 weeks.
I feel well rested and will have an early night…..job interview tomorrow.
ciao for now!
