Sitting here...beginning to ache (my arms especially),listening to beautiful finch singing away in the garden and the melody of 'Spirit' dvd floating downstairs from the children's playroom.
I've a stack of things to do and struggling to find the motivation.
Pack the cases.
Pop to the bank.
Venture into the supermarket.
Then the mundane cleaning and tidying...washing etc.
Ensure adequate supply of food for the fish, cat and gerbils whilst we are away...the neighbour always helps out.
Then a computer-free fortnight away in the middle of nowhere in the fresh air with a different view.
I may find myself accessing the internet via my mobile!
France is in regular contact and I'm determined not to appear needy over IP...so I wait. Don't get me wrong, I thanked him yesterday but that's it.
I need head space.
I need the open spaces to breathe deeply in.
I need lots of things yet I must think now what it is my children need; my family need from me.

I'll sign off now.
Perhaps a quickie before bed tonight; otherwise it'll be quiet from me for a while until I re-emerge and return.
