Oh so quiet...

The belles finally left for Wales with their grandparents, so it's just me and Mr Nell at home. No Disney channel, no phone calls that aren't for us, food remains in the fridge and there are still biscuits in the tin. It's awful and I hate it.
To celebrate the wild excitement of being childfree Mr Nell and I went out for tea. Then he went to work - he works nights - and I was all alone.
And what did I do to celebrate this unique opportunity of me time? Did I play my music, take a long bath, write? Did I heck.
I washed my cutglass vases and paired socks.
When I did I get so boring?

Still, when I woke up this morning after Mr Nell had come home I found a lovely bunch of flowers in the kitchen sink for me to put in one of my newly washed vases.

Aw, it's like he stepped right out of a romance novel :)

Nell, I've got a whole week to myself and so far my major excitement has been going to a bakery to buy a roll and a neenish tart.

I did sleep in until 8.00 a.m. today.

Heh. I'll see your boring and raise you 20.

I haven't had a week to myself in years, I think. I'd like a chance to be boring. ;)
