See Ya!

 I'm off to hang out with DD and my little man for a few days.  Oh the joy! Have a wonderful weekend.

Back To The Routine

I always find its a bit of a downer coming back from travel.  It is such a pleasure to get away from everyday responsibilities to feel indulged and pampered, even if the purpose was not for vacation. Picking up the pieces and getting back to work is hard. 

Such is life! Thankfully vacation time is not too far off.  Hopefully you are having a fine day.

What a beautiful week, arrived in London to find it on the cool and dreary side. But within a matter of hours the temperatures had flipped and it was near 30C. The remainder of our time there it was sunny and hot. Absolutely perfect weather for walking about. There was plenty of time for both work and touring about the city. Love the convenience of the train and underground system. There was plenty of exercise walking for hours on end. By Wednesday late afternoon we made our way to France. Arriving at our destination near 9:30 pm where the celebration started. The lifestyle is so different, compared to Canada. We had a wonderful time, but as usual the good times had to come to an end and Sunday morning we were making our way back to Paris for our flight home. Yesterday I was back at my desk, pondering the fact that it is all over and done.

See You Later

On the packing front I procrastinate yet again.  Some things never change.  Enjoy the weekend, till later take care.

Doing The Usual

Just putting the finishing touches on the work week.  Everything seems to be in order and will survive a week without me.

Yesterday I broke the news to Dad that I would be going away.  I have started not to tell him too far in advance of my plans because he begins saying he is feeling unwell and it puts a damper on things. 

I'm looking forward to this little getaway.  The excitement is starting to build.  Only a few more days and we will be on our way. First stop England, then its off to France. Biggest obstacle now is packing. My aim is to travel light, in reality there is no other choice with all the restrictions in travel.   Although it is not a pleasure trip I'm sure it will be fun all the same. 

Habitual

Trying to get things cleaned up and straightened out before my travel. I'm habitual in that way, I don't want to come back to a desk piled high and deep with work.  Heaven forbid I forget to pay something or someone.  I'd never hear the end of it!

I'll try and catch up with you once I'm done.  Have a good day.

Back At The Grind

The sun is shining and the temperature is fine and that makes everything OK.  Hope you all had a great weekend. 

Mother's Day weekend was lovely, I felt the love and  appreciation.  DS stopped by Saturday morning with flowers. DD was busy this weekend but she left me a lovely card and a gift certificate. 

It was a relaxing and enjoyable weekend.  We met up with friends for supper on Saturday, Sunday watched a video, ordered in lunch. It wasn't a  grandiose weekend but it was most definitely fun.  Simple is best.  Now I ready to conquer the new week.  Happy Monday!
