Not that I am counting or anything, but just in case you were curious, there are approximately 104.2 hours until I can departmentalise my work life from my home life. Eleven days to wallow about in our pool, to water the garden at my leisure, to have sleep ins (well laying in bed awake, can never 'sleep' in), to read the six books I have beside my bed, the four I have on my kindle and the stack of nine beside my chair in the reading room. Ambitious? I love a challenge!
My folks are coming up to stay with us, to stay in what they now call their 'City Apartment'. Our recently renovated Guest Wing - I love that.
For the first time, Son #1 will be hosting a family Christmas event. We are going to his house Christmas Eve for dinner and drinks. He has worked so hard building a patio, gardens, a lawned terrace - it will be special to see him be a host!
Christmas Day is going to be a cook off between my Dad, Mum and I. We all have cookbooks at the ready, bring it on!
Boxing Day is always a toss up between drag racing or watching the first day of the test match from the pool. Weather will be a deciding factor.
Then endless days of nothing. Doesn't get better than that.
I am so excited to spend the time reading as well. Not quite as many as you on my windowsill but close!
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the contentment of time and books. Enjoy ;-)
