Just back from the Monday morning walk/jog up the hill and back, Neil’s exercising in the courtyard, and I am eager to get to the typewriter, not that I own one. Today it’s that Monday morning feeling of getting back to work after a weekend that seemed to last forever.
It started on Saturday morning with me being able to do some work on the comedy novel, and then us heading down to Yialos to find some blank DVDs, and ink for the printer. That ended up with a light lunch at Mereklis, sitting in the sun and staying far too long, before walking back up the hill. Neil went to work and then, at five, we headed down to Pedi where we had been invited for ‘nibbles;’ and drinks.
Well, if that’s nibbles, next time I’m going for dinner! A wonderful spread and with great company. The boys came with us and were a joy to have around. On the way back up the hill we were singing like the Von Trapp family, an assortment of country songs and songs from shows. The highlight? Harry, aged seven, leading the way, then stopping, turning around and saying, ‘Mummy, you know, sometimes it’s hard to be a woman.’
Three adults in stitches all the way up the hill and two boys asking what’s so funny? A couple of glasses at Rainbow on the way home and, hey presto! It’s Sunday. I was going to prepare a blog post so I didn’t have to do it this morning, but I was, once again, able to get back to ‘Straight Swap’, the comedy novel set in my home town. Before I knew it, it was lunch time and before I knew that was done, it was time to go to a barbeque (it was a light lunch of salad). Again, great company, great views, two well behaved young men (and Neil) and another great spread.
This morning then, starts with exercise, then typing, and later today, a tap dance rehearsal. The show is two weeks away now so it’s about time I learned which bit comes where – and hunted out a suitable costume. And on that note, I am going to pour a coffee, post this up and then settle into the start of a whole new week. Have a good one.
