Hi! :wave:
Thank you to FCC for the thread. Also hugs and spoons for everyone - I've not caught up properly with everyone's news.
I'm back from the Germany and pleased to say that it went well. A great time was had by all. I spent most of today in a daze though, and tea was a Chinese take-away.
DS2 still has a week left at school, so I'm going to go in most days and do filing/sorting etc. I'm hoping to make a start on the house, too, but I'll get on to it properly next week.
I'm looking forward to being around for (most of) the next 6 weeks., but it's good night for now. x0 -

Oh well, sleepless night and busy morning turned into a fall asleep on the sofa and wake up at 8pm afternoon. Never done that before.
Got bedlinen to sort out from the WM and possibly another load to put on. I do love the soundproofing in this house, there is no chance that I can disturb the NN with it.
Cat is finally fixed - removed the last of the matted fur from his head and he purred all the way through. He was most annoyed that I wouldn't let him out to go and get another abscess from the local tom tonight, though.
I will try and keep up with things, have already done half the kitchen today, which helps, but I have a little show tomorrow night, so really need to practice during the day, find my inner jazz coolness, as it were.
Oh, and get my eyebrows threadedI could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
