Lunch with the In-Laws
For many reasons, the in-laws don’t visit us very often. I was able to persuade them to join us for lunch today, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I cooked a leg of lamb with all the trimmings (no cheating today!) and for once everything was ready simultaneously, and nothing went cold before we’d had a chance to eat it! I consider that to be a BIG achievement! Better still, I managed it all without getting drunk!!
The really good news is that they took Mollie back to their place for a few days. We’ll all enjoy that, that’s for sure!! It sounds awful, but I am SO ready for a (temporary) break from that child.
The weather has been unseasonably hot, which is somewhat confusing. It’s supposed to be autumn, but it feels more like late spring/early summer. I’m not complaining- I love it when it is hot and sunny through the day and pleasantly cool (but not cold) at night. It’s ideal, really. Long may it continue!
Darren is out at a fire call (he’s a NSWFB officer), so I have the whole place to myself! Blissful peace and quiet. AND I don’t have to cook dinner, cos lunch was so huge. You’ve gotta be happy with that.
I’ll get to sleep in tomorrow. Wake up at my own leisure, get up or not, as I feel. Nobody asking what we’ll be doing today, nobody demanding to be entertained or fed. Nice. Can’t wait! It really is better when it’s not school holidays!
