Well, the rellies flew back to Oz yesterday.....so i can get my life back into some semblance of order.
The visit taught me quite a few things:-
1) I don't like to share my kitchen.
2) I work well under pressure, but sometimes I moan about it.
3) I can eat standing up.......I can eat on the run.......not having a seat at the table doesn't constitute a crime.
4) I don't swear much when I burn myself and we have company.
5) I quite enjoy a shower before bed.......there was always a bit of a queue for the facilities in the morning.
6) I sing out of tune....well, you have to do something when there is no lock on the toilet door.
7) Families aren't always friends....all families seem to have some long standing feud going on. Ours is no exception.
8) Alcohol and early mornings are not a good combination - not that I had any alcohol, but there were those who did and were grumpy as hell!
9) Fish and guests stink after 4 days.
!0) hubby is not a good host....I think it was mean of him to go and spend a whole day in bed and leave me to entertain the visitors alone..... OK, it was a wet and miserable Bank Holiday......he said he was ill, but I have my doubts.
11) I missed Accyweb....but I didn't die from missing it!
Yeah, as visits go I'm glad it has gone. Some folks did a fair bit of junketing.....but it wasn't me....I had sausages to prick, clinkers to poke and pots to wash.
I promised myself that I wouldn't touch any of the work that needed to be done to return the place to normal....well, not until today......but I couldn't stand another minute of being upside down so I pitched in yesterday afternoon and got a heap of stuff done.......the back bedroom is almost back to normal....the bedding has all been washed dried and most of it put away........aaaah now I'm going to put my feet up...well, unless anyone has any objections!
