Itchy feet

It's dawning upon me that we're both getting very tired. This year seems to have been very hectic for us, with sorting out this kitchen. Most days we've either been going out to look at things or people have been coming here to see us. We're hoping to go away while the actual work is being done, but I suspect we won't really relax as we'll be anxious about what is going on at home. I think it's time we had a break, a little holiday. We've not had so much as a weekend away since we got back from France last October. We've not even got anything booked to look forward to. Once the new kitchen is installed (the end of the month hopefully), we'll review our finances & sort out some sort of a break. I know there's still lots to choose & organise - lighting, flooring, blinds, decorating, furniture - but before we do that, we're having a break.

Maybe I'm just getting a bit of travel lust. Many of our friends have been away already this year - Gaz the Pub owner/manager to Gambia, Al our gardener to Tenerife, Fran Den & Mrs B to Torquay. Others have booked - Al to New Zealand, Fran & Den to Weston-super-Mare, Little B to Spain, PD to Crete, Mr P the music teacher to Iona. Then there's us, just sitting there, going nowhere. The Brunei holiday is on hold due to the mixture of kitchen & recession.

Time we had a break, even if it's just a few days in this country. Time for a relax, to forget about kitchens, to catch up on lost sleep & enjoy ourselves a bit.
