Happy boys watching Disney

Exit stage right, just the one encore, thank you, bring in the curtain, tabs down, blackout, exeunt, honestly, yes, goodnight, you’ll miss the last bus, thank you, over and out, cut, fab, thank, but… it’s over now, you’re too late, I’m off, double time after ten, union rates, I can’t go on, no more thank you, yes, no!

Later the boys did some drawing. This picture shows you what’s been on their minds recently. Sad, but telling.

No more birthday celebrations, cakes, barbeques, suppers, drinks, children’s films, fun, good times, late nights… It’s Monday, there’s loads to do and I don’t want to do any of it because I have had such fun over the weekend that it can’t ever end. But it must as my fingers are not quite connecting to the keys this morning, there’s still some washing up to do and I was woken horribly early by the cat. Actually I woke up and opened my eyes and he was sat on the bedside table staring at me. Very unnerving, as he had been so quiet. For a change.

Wonderful weekend, thank you to everyone at the indoor BBQ yesterday, great fun, great food, lots to finish up today and a wonderful (though rather late) night.

That came on the heels of a rather over-indulged Saturday which included being the first customers of the season at To Spitiko (which itself included free wine) and then an afternoon/evening quiz. Apparently we went shopping on the way home too. So I am told.

And today has started in a rather vague fashion with a very clear and calm day, warm inside the house, which is making a nice change after the recent wet’n’cold, and there’s a whole long list of things I need to do.

My birthday cake – image by Neil (the next book, with Jack included)

So I am not stopping long today, but I wanted you to know that there may not be a blog for a couple of days after tomorrow, I am going to take a little break and get some other things done first thing in the morning, just a rest, I shall be back next week. I may even be back during this week, I should be here tomorrow, but I’m just saying: if you don’t hear from me then don’t worry.

The birthday party (as Harold Pinter once said)

Now though, time to go back to bed. No! (Only joking.) Too much to do, time to go and have a coffee on the balcony, watch the view and wake up slowly slowly…
