I'm home... well not quite, I'm a couple of hundred miles from home on a business trip

11:30 Plane landed
13:00 Arrived home
13:00 - 14:00 Said hello to The Girls (all 9 present + in good health
), unpacked, opened post and Mr MWC started the laundry
14:00 - 15:00 Walked to supermarket (2-mile round trip)
15:00 - 16:00 Cleaned chicken coop whilst Mr MWC cooked, ate (toast, baked beans, poached egg, fried tomatoes)
16:00 - 17:00 Showered, packed for 2-night business trip
17:00 Left the house to walk to the railway station
Holiday purchases included trousers x 3, coat, jacket, tops x 2, tanktop, trainers, maple syrup, Niagara ice wine, my favourite pan cleaner, turkey brining salt/spice blend and more lancome lotions & potions (and freebies +++) - none of the purchases show on this month's credit card statement :T
As well as shopping, we also ate at Momofuku, saw the new George Clooney/Sandra Bullock movie - Gravity, walked miles & miles & miles, and celebrated my aunt's 75th birthday and Thanksgiving

Yes, I'm looking forward to getting home. The only problem with getting back to normality is that I will arrive home on tomorrow evening and Mr MWC leaves on a 5-day business trip to Spain on Friday.
Actually, that is kind of normal for us... :rotfl:Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
