I love busy days, especially when they're as fun as this one has been but couldn't cope with one every day! I am relaxing now, most unusually with a gin and tonic, so this is probably my last coherent post before I fall asleep.

I do feel I've packed a lot in. Darwin clipped is gorgeous, FR came home from Granada with a huge bag of asparagus and we've had our friends' children here all afternoon. And now, FR and I have just returned from a wonderful concert of flamenco (singing and guitar) at the local theatre. I should sleep well tonight.

The children are usually at school and FR often out doing things - but no Darwin really made me feel totally liberated from demands on my time and attention. It was bliss - short-lived - but bliss and I enjoyed it.

It is a wonderfully self indulgent feeling isn't it. I'm rushing round getting things ready for my 8 visitors tomorrow....and incredibly, I find its nearly all done...so I, too, am going to wallow in some quiet reading, or maybe a bit of crocheting. Enjoy the moment, I intend to.
