back to work!

I was happy to see an email from my boss yesterday. He didn't mean for me to deal with it on a Sunday but needed to mention some things about our week.  It helped me out of my jet-lag fog (is it really that? or a cold?) and got me to focus on work, where there are dozens of emails awaiting me.
Not complaining!

We've had a couple of meals featuring beef rather than beer and that's a nice change too.
I've given Youngest a practice college entrance exam, I've put away the 400 (est.) toiletries we brought with us and everyone has clean clothes for the week ahead.

I worked hard to stay up till ten last night as I have a date with a bunch of work friends to spend the night in town and watch the royal wedding early on Friday morning and I'm worried that I'll doze off. Then again, my new habit of waking at four could prove handy.

You've seen this, haven't you?


It was posted all over the place recently but, you know, I've been without internet.

When we went away we all spent time debating which coats to bring and not only was it quite warm in Holland but we returned to higher temperatures at home too. I think the coats can be put away and I'm glad about it. Turtlenecks too? I guess I know what I'm doing next weekend.



Birds are chirping and singing outside.



I'm off to work!
